Overview
- The Department of Technical Education and APSCHE delayed the final phase allotment on August 5 following a High Court directive on pending domicile status petitions.
- Candidates who completed intermediate education outside Andhra Pradesh challenged recent rules restricting local category benefits to in-state intermediates, prompting the legal stay.
- Authorities have said they will set a revised date for the seat allotment as directed by the court and urged candidates to monitor the official counselling portal for updates.
- Once the allotment is reissued, shortlisted students must complete online self-reporting and physically report to their allotted colleges by the newly announced deadline to secure seats.
- The final counselling phase had already encompassed registration (July 27–30), certificate verification (July 28–30), web-option entry through July 31 and edits on August 1 ahead of the scheduled August 4 class start.
