On Question asked by student community
Hi dear candidate,
Generally, the students below 10,000 rank get full fee reimbursement under Andhra Pradesh scholarship scheme but your category also plays a major role here as the reserved categories like SC, ST or OBC have slightly more chances than general category. Since your rank is 4301, you should most likely get full fee reimbursement.
BEST REGARDS
If you haven't take any action like reporting or submitting documents in second counselling college you can continue your 1st counseling seat in AP ICET.
Since you don't want the second round seat report to first college to claim your seat.
Good luck..
Hi,
With a general rank of 13,964 and a local rank of 1,529 in bc-d category in au region, your chances of getting a seat in main campus universities like krishna university, acharya nagarjuna university, or adikavi nannaya university depend on the course demand. in 2nd counseling, seats sometimes open up in less-demanded specializations (like certain mba/mca branches), but popular courses may close earlier. i’d recommend filling as many preferred options as possible and also considering affiliated colleges to maximize your chance.

Thanks for asking and good luck in the next round.
Hello,
If your degree college Transfer Certificate (TC) has a clerical mistake in the caste category that the principal manually corrected, with the correction properly signed and stamped, it is usually deemed acceptable for the APICET counselling process, as long as there is no discrepancy between the caste listed on your official caste certificate and what appears on the TC.
Nonetheless, as counseling authorities frequently favor documents that are pristine and devoid of errors, it is highly advised that you have an affidavit detailing the clerical mistake and the rectification done, in addition to your original caste certificate provided by a qualified authority.
Moreover, if feasible, ask your degree college to provide a new corrected TC to prevent any avoidable issues during document verification. Acting in this manner will guarantee a seamless counselling process and reduce the likelihood of document denial.
Hope this helps. All the best!
Dear candidate ,
The AP ICET 2025 counselling is scheduled to begin in the first week of July 2025 .
