AP EAPCET final-phase web-option change window open today, 23 August

Sunday, 23 August 2026, is the edit day — not a fresh registration drive. For AP EAPCET final-phase counselling under the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education, candidates who already entered web options get a dedicated change window today before the list goes into allotment.

The Common Admissions Portal at cap.apcfss.in is carrying the final-phase engineering (M.P.C. stream) process, with registrations and web options marked open for this phase. The same CAP home card lists 247 colleges, 78 courses and 150,828 seats under AP EAPCET (MPC) Engineering Admissions for this cycle. Web-option entry for the final phase has been running through 22 August. Today's slot is for revising order and colleges, not for assuming a new multi-day entry band.

What today's change window is for

Final-phase counselling exists for leftover seats, fresh participants who missed earlier rounds, and candidates seeking betterment where the rules allow. Preferences saved in an earlier phase are not something to rely on blindly; final-phase instructions typically require fresh option exercise for this round. If you have not opened the final-phase option screen at all, do that first, then use today's change facility to reorder.

The official first-phase revised schedule PDF on cap.apcfss.in shows the counselling pattern this desk is tracking: online certificate verification and fee payment (candidate registration), HLC verification of uploaded certificates, multi-day web-options entry, a single change-of-web-options day, release of seat allotments, then self-joining and college reporting, followed by attending classes. Final-phase work on the CAP track this week follows that same sequence, with today's change day sitting between option entry and allotment.

Once the change day closes, treat the saved list as the one the allotment engine will read. Do not wait for a Monday "extra hour" unless the CAP portal itself posts an extension.

Portals that count

Use cap.apcfss.in for CAP login, fee and option work. The EAPCET counselling front at eapcet-sche.aptonline.in/EAPCET/ remains the scheme-side reference and download shelf when it is reachable. Bookmarks from last year's domain names are a frequent failure point. The CAP marquee also flags BiPC-stream web options as open; keep that pharmacy/agriculture track separate from the MPC engineering final-phase edits due today.

This desk could not retrieve the dedicated "Revised Final Phase Counselling Schedule" PDF in the current pass — the EAPCET scheme page timed out, and the CAP site's public schedule file on hand covers the earlier first-phase block. Dates below follow the final-phase calendar as reflected on the CAP counselling track for this week. Re-check every timestamp on the live CAP dashboard before you travel or pay.

After options: allotment and reporting

Seat allotment for the final phase is listed for 26 August 2026 on that CAP calendar. Self-reporting and college reporting follow in the late-August window shown on the same schedule (commonly 27-31 August). Keep hall ticket, rank card, Intermediate and SSC memos, study certificates and category/income documents ready in the format the help-line centre checklist asks for.

Fee amounts and HLC instructions belong on the portal notices. This report does not invent processing-fee slabs. For candidates reading on 23 August, the practical order is: log in on cap.apcfss.in, open final-phase web options, edit carefully, save, and download a printout before the day ends.
