RGUKT 2026 Merit List: Check IIIT AP Selection Result

Students writing a board exam in an Indian school setting

The RGUKT IIIT Andhra Pradesh Selection Merit List 2026 is releasing today, June 12, 2026 — tentatively between 11 AM and 1 PM, with a hard outer limit of 4 PM if there are server delays. Around 4,400 Class 10 students across Andhra Pradesh are set to find their names on this list, which grants them a seat in one of four RGUKT campuses for a six-year, fully-residential integrated B.Tech programme — at no tuition cost. If your child appeared for AP SSC 2026 and applied before May 30, this is the result that matters most today.

The official portal is admissions.rgukt.in. Bookmark it now. The list is published as a campus-wise PDF; here is precisely what to do the moment it goes live.

What RGUKT Is and Why This List Matters

Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT-AP) is a state university created by the Government of Andhra Pradesh specifically to give rural, first-generation engineering aspirants a path straight from Class 10 to a B.Tech degree. There is no separate entrance exam — admission is purely merit-based on SSC (Class 10) board marks. A student who makes the merit list skips Class 11 and 12 entirely; the six-year integrated programme covers the equivalent of junior college plus full B.Tech in one continuous residential track.

The programme is largely state-subsidised. Tuition is free for students who meet income criteria; hostel and mess costs are subsidised. For families in AP's semi-urban and rural districts, this is often the most financially viable route into a quality engineering education.

Who Is Eligible

Passed AP SSC 2026 (or CBSE/ICSE equivalent with results declared on or before May 30, 2026)
Applied online through rgukt.in before the application deadline
Age: born on or after July 1, 2008 (general category); relaxation applies for SC/ST

How Merit Is Calculated

RGUKT does not hold a separate test. The selection score is the total marks secured in the SSC board examination. Students who studied in government schools receive a deprivation score of 4 marks per subject (4% out of 100) added to their actual marks before ranking — a policy designed to account for resource gaps between government and private schools. Where two candidates tie on total marks, the system breaks the tie in this sequence: higher Mathematics marks → higher Science marks → higher marks in remaining subjects → older candidate by date of birth.

For students from boards that issue GPAs or letter grades rather than numerical marks, the RGUKT Governing Council applies an approved equivalency conversion before generating the merit rank.

How to Check the RGUKT 2026 Selection Merit List

The merit list is published as a downloadable PDF on the admissions portal, organised campus-wise. There is no separate login required to view the PDF — but the portal may be slow given the volume of simultaneous visitors. Try early in the morning window or after 4 PM if the site is unresponsive.

Step-by-Step Process

Open the official portal — admissions.rgukt.in. This is the 2026-cycle portal. Do not use the 2025 portal (admissions25.rgukt.in), which is now inactive.
Locate the merit list link — Look for "Provisional Selection List 2026" or "1st Selection List 2026-27" on the homepage. Each campus will have its own link.
Download the campus-wise PDF — Click the link for the campus you applied to (Nuzvid, RK Valley, Ongole, or Srikakulam). The PDF is typically a few hundred pages.
Search your name or application number — Open the PDF and press Ctrl + F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + F (Mac). Type your full name or your application ID number. Your entry, if present, will also show your SSC total, merit rank, and allotted branch.
Note your allotment details — If selected, the list will show: your rank, allotted branch (CSE / ECE / EEE / Civil / Mechanical / Chemical / Metallurgical), campus name, and category under which you are allotted.
Check your registered mobile / email — Provisionally selected candidates also receive an SMS and email alert at the mobile number and email ID provided during application. Do not rely on this alone; confirm directly from the PDF.

If the Portal Is Down

RGUKT portals typically face heavy load on result day. If admissions.rgukt.in is slow or timing out:

Try the main university site: rgukt.in/admissions/ug-admissions/2026/
Check the campus-specific sites: rguktrkv.ac.in (RK Valley)
Education portals like schools360.in and freejobalert.com often mirror the direct PDF links minutes after release

Campus-Wise Seat Distribution

The 2026 intake covers four campuses with 1,100 seats each, totalling 4,400 seats. Each campus runs five core branches; Nuzvid and RK Valley additionally offer Chemical Engineering and Metallurgical & Materials Engineering.

Campus	Location	Total Seats	Branches Offered	Key Feature
RGUKT Nuzvid	Nuzvid, Eluru District	1,100	CSE, ECE, EEE, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgical & Materials	Largest campus; special-category verification hub
RGUKT RK Valley	Idupulapaya, Kadapa District	1,100	CSE, ECE, EEE, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgical & Materials	Serves Rayalaseema belt
RGUKT Ongole	Ongole, Prakasam District	1,100	CSE, ECE, EEE, Civil, Mechanical	Serves coastal south AP
RGUKT Srikakulam	Etcherla, Srikakulam District	1,100	CSE, ECE, EEE, Civil, Mechanical	Serves north coastal AP

Reservation and Regional Allocation

RGUKT follows the AP government's statutory reservation matrix. Across all seats:

SC / ST / BC / OC categories follow AP reservation norms
EWS (Economically Weaker Sections): 10% supernumerary seats over and above the base 1,100 at each campus
Girls quota: One-third (33.33%) of seats in each category are reserved for women; unfilled girls' seats revert to boys in the same category
Regional split: 65.62% of seats go to candidates from the Andhra University region; 34.38% to candidates from the Sri Venkateswara University region

Special-category seats — for Children of Armed Personnel (CAP), NCC, Sports, Physically Handicapped, and Bharat Scouts & Guides — are verified centrally at the Nuzvid campus.

Certificate Verification and Counseling Schedule

If your name is on the merit list, reporting in person for certificate verification is mandatory. Missing your scheduled date means losing the seat — no extensions are granted.

Date	Event	Campus / Venue
June 12, 2026	Provisional Selection Merit List released	admissions.rgukt.in
June 19–20, 2026	Certificate verification + counseling — Nuzvid selectees	RGUKT Nuzvid Campus, Eluru District
June 19–20, 2026	Certificate verification + counseling — RK Valley selectees	RGUKT RK Valley Campus, Idupulapaya, Kadapa
June 22–23, 2026	Certificate verification + counseling — Ongole selectees	RGUKT RK Valley Campus, Kadapa (centralised venue)
June 22–23, 2026	Certificate verification + counseling — Srikakulam selectees	RGUKT Srikakulam Campus, Etcherla
July 1, 2026	Classes begin (academic reporting)	Respective campuses

Note: Ongole campus selectees travel to the RK Valley venue for verification — this is a centralised arrangement for that batch, not an error.

Documents to Bring — Original Plus Five Photocopies

Do not arrive without the originals; conditional admissions are not offered.

SSC Marks Memo (original board certificate)
SSC Transfer Certificate (TC)
Study Certificate — from Class 6 through Class 10, showing school attended each year
Caste / Community Certificate (SC / ST / BC candidates) — issued by a competent authority
EWS Certificate (if claiming EWS seats) — must be dated on or after April 1, 2026
Income Certificate — issued on or after April 1, 2026
Aadhaar Card (candidate's)
Aadhaar Card (parent / guardian)
Passport-size photographs — at least 6 copies
Special category certificates (CAP / NCC / Sports / PH / BSG) where applicable
RGUKT Application printout and call letter (download from the portal after merit list)

Carry five sets of photocopies of each document, self-attested.

What to Do If Your Name Is Not on the List

Not appearing on the Phase 1 list does not mean the process is over. RGUKT-AP typically conducts subsequent phases (Phase 2, Phase 3) to fill seats left vacant by candidates who declined or failed certificate verification.

Wait for the Phase 2 list: Seats vacated during Phase 1 counseling re-open for the next merit-rank holders. Phase 2 dates are announced after Phase 1 counseling concludes (expected mid-to-late July 2026 based on past cycles).
Keep documents ready: The document checklist is identical across all phases.
Do not modify your application: Do not attempt to alter your SSC marks or application details. All verification is done against original certificates.
Check the backlog list: After all phases, any remaining seats go into a backlog round. Monitor admissions.rgukt.in for announcements.
Check your GPA category: Students very close to the cutoff sometimes miss a campus but qualify for another. The merit list is campus-specific — if you applied to multiple campuses, check each list separately.

There is no formal appeals process against the merit rank itself — ranks are computed directly from board marks. If you believe your SSC marks were recorded incorrectly, the remedy is through the AP board's revaluation process, not through RGUKT.

What to Do Next — Action Checklist

If selected (name appears on the Phase 1 list):
