Phase 2 Counselling: Key Dates and Process

The AP ICET 2025 Phase 2 counselling is expected to begin in the second week of August 2025. This round is open to both new candidates and those who participated in the first phase but wish to exercise their options again. The counselling process is conducted entirely online, providing convenience to AP ICET aspirants.

The step-by-step process is as follows:

• Registration and Fee Payment: All new candidates must first register on the official AP ICET website,  icet-sche.aptonline.in, and pay the processing fee of ₹1,200 (₹600 for SC/ST/PwD candidates).
• Document Verification: The document verification is a critical stage. Unlike the first phase, where a slot booking was required, the process for Phase 2 will be online. Candidates must upload all necessary documents for verification by the authorities.
• Web Options Entry: After successful document verification, candidates can log in to the portal and fill in their college and course preferences. This is the most crucial step of the AP ICET counselling as the seat allotment is based on the rank, the choices filled, and the availability of seats. It is highly recommended to fill in as many options as possible.
• Seat Allotment: The provisional seat allotment for the second phase is expected to be released in the first week of September 2025. Once the seat is allotted, candidates must download the allotment letter and report to their respective colleges to confirm their MBA admission.

Mandatory Documents for Verification

Having the required documents ready is essential for the online verification process. Any missing or incorrect document could lead to disqualification from the AP ICET 2025 counselling.

Aspirants must keep the following documents prepared:

• AP ICET 2025 Rank Card and Hall Ticket: The primary proofs of your rank and participation.
• Academic Certificates: SSC (10th) and Intermediate (12th) Marks Memos, along with your Degree Marks Memo and Provisional Degree Certificate.
• Identity and Residence Proofs: Aadhaar Card, Transfer Certificate (TC) from your previous institution, Study Certificates from Class 9 to graduation, and a Residence Certificate.
• Caste and Income Certificates: For reserved category candidates, a valid Caste Certificate is mandatory. An Income Certificate is also required, especially for those who wish to avail fee reimbursement benefits.
• Other Certificates: EWS Certificate (if applicable) and special category certificates (NCC, Sports, PwD, etc.)

Eligibility Criteria and What's at Stake

To be eligible for the AP ICET 2025 counselling, candidates must have passed their undergraduate degree with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved categories). This second phase is the final major opportunity for thousands of management aspirants to secure a seat for their higher education. The competition remains high, but with a strategic approach to web options and a complete set of documents, a qualified candidate has a strong chance of securing a seat in a good college. This marks the culmination of their efforts in the AP ICET exam and the start of a new chapter in their management career.
