Category-Wise Additional Documents for AP ECET 2026
Students claiming reservation under SC, ST, BC, EWS, or PH categories must carry the relevant certificate in addition to the common document list. Without a valid certificate, the seat defaults to Open Category without reservation benefits.
| Category | Certificate Required | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | Caste Certificate | MRO / Tahsildar |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | Caste Certificate | MRO / Tahsildar |
| BC-A / BC-B / BC-C / BC-D / BC-E | Backward Class (BC) Certificate | MRO / Tahsildar |
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | EWS Income and Asset Certificate | Tahsildar / Competent Authority |
| PH / Differently Abled | Disability Certificate (40% or above disability) | District Medical Officer (DMO) |
| NCC | NCC ’B’ or ’C’ Certificate | NCC Commanding Officer |
| Sports / Games | Sports Achievement Certificate | District Sports Authority |
All caste and income certificates must be within their validity period. Certificates older than one year are typically rejected at verification — collect a fresh copy from your MRO well before June 28, 2026.
Photocopies and Photographs Required
In addition to originals, carry 3–4 sets of self-attested photocopies of every document. Write "Self-Attested" and sign on each photocopy page. Four sets is the safer target since different departments at the institute may retain separate copies.
| Item | Quantity | Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Passport-Size Photographs | 8–10 copies | Recent, white or light background; same appearance as the application photo |
| Self-Attested Photocopies of All Documents | 3–4 sets each | Clear A4 prints; sign and write "Self-Attested" on every page |
| Gap Certificate / Affidavit (if applicable) | 1 original + 2 copies | Notary-attested; required if there is a gap between study years |
| Gazette Notification (if name or DOB differs across certificates) | 1 original + 2 copies | Required when the name in certificates differs from the application form |
How to Report at the AP ECET 2026 Counselling Centre
Round 1 reporting takes place at the allotted institute itself — not at a centralised APSCHE venue. Follow these steps on June 28, 2026:
- Download the Round 1 Allotment Letter from cets.apsche.ap.gov.in/ECET and take a printout before visiting the institute.
- Reach the allotted institute within the time slot specified in the allotment letter — arrive at least 30 minutes early to avoid counter queues.
- Collect a verification token at the entrance counter if the institute issues one for queue management.
- Submit your document kit at the designated verification counter; the officer will check originals against photocopies and stamp or sign your attested copies.
- Pay the required fee (tuition fee or spot-reporting fee) through the payment mode specified by the institute and keep the payment receipt.
- Collect the Reporting Receipt / Admission Confirmation slip — this is proof that your seat has been accepted; do not leave the institute without it.
Students who wish to upgrade their college in later rounds should confirm with the institute whether self-reporting in Round 1 allows participation in subsequent rounds or freezes the seat.
Important Tips for AP ECET 2026 Document Submission
A well-prepared document kit avoids the most common rejection reasons at AP ECET counselling. Keep these points in mind before June 28, 2026:
- Arrange documents in checklist order — officers follow a fixed verification flow; a sorted kit speeds up your counter time.
- Self-attest every photocopy clearly — write "Self-Attested" and sign on each page; unsigned copies can be refused.
- Renew expired certificates before visiting — income and caste certificates older than one year are routinely rejected; visit your MRO at least a week before reporting day.
- Separate originals from copies in a labelled folder — use tabbed sections or separate envelopes to prevent mix-ups under counter pressure.
- Do not hand over original documents unless specifically instructed — the institute normally retains only one set of attested photocopies.
- Carry at least 10 passport photographs — some institutes require separate photos for the admission register, ID card, and hostel records.
- Check the official portal the evening before reporting at cets.apsche.ap.gov.in/ECET for any last-minute date or venue changes.
