AP EAMCET 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment Delayed Again

Thousands of engineering aspirants in Andhra Pradesh are facing uncertainty as the release of the AP EAMCET 2026 Round 3 seat allotment results has been delayed. The final phase of the counselling process, which is critical for filling remaining vacancies in government and private engineering colleges, has failed to go live as scheduled, leaving candidates waiting for updates on the official admissions portal.

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) had initially set the release date for September 16, 2026. Following an initial postponement, the date was rescheduled to September 17, 2026. However, as of late evening on the revised date, the allotment link on the official AP Common Admissions Portal, cap.apcfss.in, remained inactive, preventing students from accessing their seat allocation status.

Impact of the Delay on Admission Timelines

The ongoing delay has created significant concern regarding the subsequent steps in the admission process. According to the previously published schedule by the APSCHE, candidates are required to complete both online self-reporting and physical reporting at their allotted colleges between September 17 and September 19, 2026. With the result announcement pushed back, the window for students to secure their provisional allotment letters and complete the necessary administrative fee payments has been significantly compressed.

Students now face a tight turnaround, with less than 48 hours expected for the completion of reporting formalities once the results are finally published. This condensed timeline is particularly challenging for those who may need to travel to their assigned institutions to finalise their admissions before the deadline.

Official Guidance for Candidates

While the exact cause of the delay has not been officially confirmed, authorities have advised candidates to remain patient and monitor the official portal for updates. Students are strongly encouraged to rely exclusively on the official website, cap.apcfss.in, for the latest information and to avoid third-party platforms. Candidates should ensure their login credentials are readily available to access the allotment results as soon as the link becomes active.
