AUEET 2026 Phase 3 Web Options Entry Deadline Extended; Check Revised Schedule
The Directorate of Admissions, Andhra University (AU) has pushed back the deadline for AUEET 2026 Phase 3 web options entry, giving candidates more breathing room to finalize their choices for B.Tech Degree (Self-Support) admissions at A.U. College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam.
The Directorate of Admissions, Andhra University (AU) has pushed back the deadline for AUEET 2026 Phase 3 web options entry, giving candidates more breathing room to finalize their choices for B.Tech Degree (Self-Support) admissions at A.U. College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam. The revised schedule is now live on the official portal, audoa.andhrauniversity.edu.in.
Candidates who had already registered for Phase 3 counselling can go back in and exercise, edit, or lock their web options under this new timeline. The original deadline for choice-filling was August 6, 2026, but with this extension, that window has moved — and the seat allotment and reporting dates have shifted accordingly to match.
Who Is Phase 3 Meant For?
This is the third and final counselling phase, and it's built specifically for candidates who:
- Didn't get a seat in Phase 1 or Phase 2
- Got allotted a seat earlier but didn't report for admission
- Want to try for a better branch through the vacancy round
If you fall into any of these buckets, Phase 3 is your last real shot at a Self-Support seat this admission cycle.

Eligibility to Exercise Web Options
Not everyone gets to jump straight into web options — a few boxes need to be checked first. Candidates must have already completed Phase 3 counselling registration, paid the processing fee, and uploaded the required documents on the portal. On top of that, a valid AUEET 2026 rank card and hall ticket is a must.
How to Fill and Lock Your Web Options
Here's the step-by-step for submitting choices on the portal:
- Visit audoa.andhrauniversity.edu.in and click the AUEET 2026 Phase 3 link
- Log in using your AUEET hall ticket number and password
- Open the web options tab to view available branches
- Add your preferred branches, ranked from highest to lowest priority
- Double-check and rearrange your priority list before finalizing
- Click 'save,' then use the freeze or lock option to confirm
- Download and keep a printout of your locked options for your records
One thing worth stressing — once options are locked, there's no going back. So take the extra time this extension has given you and actually use it to think through the branch order carefully, rather than rushing it.
What Comes After the Deadline
Once the revised deadline passes, the system will process seat allotment purely based on rank and the preferences submitted. The Phase 3 result will be published on the same portal, and candidates who receive an allotment will need to pay the tuition fee online within the specified window.
From there, it's on to physical reporting — candidates must show up at the designated center with original certificates for verification. Miss that step, and the seat goes right back into the pool, no exceptions.
Why This Extension Actually Matters
Since this is the last counselling round for AUEET Self-Support seats, the extra time isn't just a formality — it genuinely helps. It gives candidates more room to weigh their options against the list of vacant branches, and it's a real relief for anyone who got tripped up earlier by document uploads or fee payment delays.
Quick Action Plan for Candidates
- Log in to audoa.andhrauniversity.edu.in and read the extension notice carefully
- Note down the new web options end date and allotment date
- Go through the list of vacant B.Tech Self-Support branches
- Enter and reorder your preferences thoughtfully
- Freeze your options and save a copy of the confirmation
- Keep your original certificates, fee amount, and ID proof ready ahead of reporting
Candidates should keep checking the AU admissions portal regularly for the Phase 3 seat allotment result and updated reporting window — any further changes to the schedule will be posted there first.
