Andhra Pradesh Waives Entrance Exam Rule for PG Spot Admissions

VIJAYAWADA, December 4, 2025 – In a significant move, the Andhra Pradesh government has authorized the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) to conduct spot admissions for vacant postgraduate seats (M.A, M.Sc, M.Com, etc.) in universities and affiliated government colleges across the state.

A government order issued today allows for a one-time relaxation of existing rules, permitting candidates who did not qualify or participate in the Post Graduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET)-2025 to apply for these spot admissions for the 2025-26 academic year.

While opening doors to a wider pool of potential students, the government has clarified that students admitted under this provision will not be eligible for fee reimbursement. This decision aims to ensure all available PG seats are filled despite potential low participation rates in the standard entrance examination.

The move is expected to benefit eligible students who may have missed the PGCET-2025 exam or failed to achieve qualifying scores. The APSCHE is expected to announce details regarding the spot admission process shortly.
