AP POLYCET 2026: D.Pharmacy Counselling Registration Begins for MPC and BiPC Students

The Department of Higher Education (DHE), Andhra Pradesh, has officially initiated the counselling process for Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharmacy) admissions for the 2026 academic session. Candidates who qualified through the AP POLYCET 2026 examination are now invited to participate in the online registration, fee payment, and certificate verification stages to secure their seats in polytechnic colleges across the state.

This admission cycle is open to students from both MPC (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) and BiPC (Biology, Physics, Chemistry) streams. Interested applicants are advised to complete the necessary registration formalities via the official website, polycet.ap.gov.in, before the deadline. It is important to note that students who have completed an Intermediate Vocational Course or a Bridge Course are not eligible for admission to the D.Pharmacy program.

Registration Details and Counselling Schedule

To participate in the counselling process, candidates must access the official portal and provide their hall ticket number, rank, and Aadhaar number. The registration window, which includes the mandatory fee payment, opened on August 31 and will remain active until September 5, 2026. Following the registration phase, the authorities will conduct certificate verification for candidates whose documents were not verified online or require updates.

The verification process will take place at designated Help Line Centres (HLCs). The Department of Higher Education has released a day-wise schedule based on candidate ranks to streamline the attendance at these centres. Students are encouraged to consult the official website to identify their specific slot for document verification. While the registration and fee payment deadline is set for September 5, 2026, candidates should monitor the portal regularly for further updates regarding the release of seat allotments and the subsequent commencement of classwork.
