AP EdCET 2027: Application Form, Eligibility, Dates

AP EdCET 2027 is the state-level entrance test that will shortlist graduates for admission into the two-year B.Ed. (Regular) programme at Colleges of Education across Andhra Pradesh. The notification for the 2027 cycle has not been released yet; the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) is expected to designate a state university — most recently Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati — to conduct the exam. On this page we track what is officially known, what is tentative based on the 2026 pattern, and what students should monitor on the official portal cets.apsche.ap.gov.in for the Andhra Pradesh Education Common Entrance Test 2027.
