The Board of Secondary Education Andhra Pradesh (BSEAP) will start the Andhra Pradesh Secondary School Certificate (AP SSC) examinations 2026 on March 16. Thousands of Class 10 students across the state will appear for the board examinations, which will begin with the first language paper on the opening day. The examinations will continue until April 1 at designated centres.
The AP SSC hall ticket 2026 was released earlier this month and is available on the official board website. Students must carry a printed copy of the hall ticket to the examination centre on every exam day.
The document contains important information such as the candidate’s name, roll number, exam centre details and subject schedule. Entry to the examination hall will not be permitted without the hall ticket.
According to the official timetable, the AP SSC examinations will be conducted in a single shift each day. The exam will begin at 9:30 am and conclude at 12:45 pm.
Students are advised to report to their allotted examination centres at least one hour before the start of the paper so that verification and seating arrangements can be completed smoothly.
