AP POLYCET 2026: D.Pharmacy Web Options Entry Commences, Deadline Set for September 6

The Department of Higher Education (DHE), Andhra Pradesh, has officially commenced the web options entry process for Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharmacy) admissions for the 2026 academic session. Candidates who have successfully completed their counselling registration are now invited to log in to the official portal to submit their preferred college choices.

This phase of the admission process is critical for students seeking placement in D.Pharmacy programmes across the state. The authorities have set a firm deadline for the submission of these preferences, requiring all eligible applicants to finalise their choices by September 6, 2026. Participation is open to candidates from both MPC and BiPC streams, provided they meet the specific eligibility criteria established by the department.

Important Dates and Seat Allotment Procedures

For students who have yet to complete the necessary registration or fee payment, time is running out. The department has mandated that these preliminary steps must be finalised no later than September 5, 2026, to remain eligible for the seat allocation process. Officials have advised candidates to select as many suitable college options as possible, as the order of preference plays a significant role in the final seat distribution. The system will allocate seats based on a combination of the candidate's merit, eligibility status, seat availability, and the specific order of preferences submitted.

Following the conclusion of the initial web options window, the authorities have provided a brief period for candidates to review and adjust their selections. A modification window will be available on September 7, 2026, allowing students to refine their choices if necessary. Once this process is complete, the department will proceed to the next stage of the admission cycle. The official seat allotment results are scheduled to be released on September 9, 2026, marking the next major milestone for applicants in the 2026 D.Pharmacy admission process.
