The anticipation among thousands of students across Andhra Pradesh is at its peak as the State Board of Technical Education and Training (SBTET) prepares to announce the AP POLYCET 2025 results. Held on April 30, 2025, the Andhra Pradesh Polytechnic Common Entrance Test is the gateway for diploma admissions in engineering and non-engineering streams in both government and private polytechnic colleges across the state.
With the release of the final answer key on May 8, candidates have already begun estimating their scores, but the official result will soon reveal their actual standing and eligibility for the next stage. This year, the results are expected to be declared in the third week of May, with May 10 being the tentative date as per the latest updates.
Once released, students can access their AP POLYCET rank cards online at polycetap.nic.in by entering their hall ticket number. The rank card will display crucial details such as the candidate’s name, subject-wise marks, total score, rank, and qualifying status. Only those who meet the qualifying criteria will be eligible to participate in the subsequent counselling process, making this result a decisive moment in their academic journey.
The AP POLYCET 2025 examination was conducted in a single shift from 11 AM to 1 PM across various centers in Andhra Pradesh. The final answer key was released after a thorough review of student objections, reflecting the board's commitment to fairness. Candidates can now use the final key to calculate their expected scores before the official results are announced. Each correct answer carries one mark, and there is no negative marking for incorrect answers.
To qualify for the AP POLYCET 2025, general category candidates must score at least 36 out of 120 marks (30%), while there is no minimum qualifying mark for SC and ST categories. If two or more candidates obtain the same marks, tie-breaking rules will apply, prioritizing candidates with higher marks in Mathematics, followed by Physics, age, and qualifying examination percentage.
The AP POLYCET 2025 rank card will contain the following details: name of the candidate, hall ticket number, subject-wise marks (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry), aggregate marks, rank obtained, and qualifying status. This document is essential for the counselling process and must be retained until the end of the admission cycle.
Following the result declaration, SBTET will announce the counselling schedule for qualified candidates. This process involves document verification at designated helpline centers, followed by online registration and choice filling for courses and colleges. Admission to diploma courses in top polytechnic institutions like Andhra Polytechnic, D.A Govt Polytechnic, and others will be based on the candidate’s rank and preferences.
It is important to note that qualifying in AP POLYCET and securing a rank does not guarantee admission. Candidates must also fulfill all eligibility requirements and participate actively in the counselling process to secure a seat in their preferred college and course.
The official website to check AP POLYCET 2025 results, download the rank card, and access all related updates is polycetap.nic.in. Candidates should rely only on the official portal for authentic information and direct links regarding the result and counselling process.
