Overview
- APSCHE released the provisional answer key and candidates' response sheets on Saturday, May 23, 2026, and made them available at cets.apsche.ap.gov.in/EAPCET through login with registration and hall‑ticket details.
- The online challenge window is open until May 25 and requires a Rs. 300 fee per question that will be refunded if the objection is upheld by the expert reviewers.
- An expert committee will examine accepted challenges after the objection period ends and issue a final answer key that the council will use to calculate official scores.
- AP EAPCET 2026 was run by JNTU for APSCHE and followed a 160-question, three-hour format with one mark per correct answer and no negative marking; the ranking qualifying mark is 25% of maximum marks with SC/ST exceptions for reserved seats.
- Results are tentatively scheduled for June 1, 2026, but the final date will depend on the outcome of the scrutiny of objections and the publication of the final answer key.
