Admission Process-

Admission to Dr. YSR Architecture and Fine Arts University is always a two-step process: first qualifying in the relevant entrance test (NATA / AP EAPCET / AP ADCET / university test), and then completing counselling, document verification, and fee payment to confirm the seat.

Step 1: Identify Course & Entrance Exam

• B.Arch: Admission through NATA (and also JEE Main Paper-2 score where applicable) with AP state counselling under APSCHE.

• B.Tech (DTDP, FSP, Planning, Game Design Technologies, Construction Technology, etc.): Admission via AP EAPCET/AP EAMCET conducted by APSCHE.
• BFA/B.Des (Interior Design and all Fine Arts specialisations): Admission through AP ADCET (Art & Design Common Entrance Test) conducted by YSRAFU.

Step 2: Apply for the Relevant Entrance Test

• NATA / AP EAPCET:

• Register on the respective official portals, fill application form, upload documents, and pay the fee within the deadline, then download the admit card and appear for the exam.

• AP ADCET (for BFA/B.Des):

• Fill the AP ADCET online application form via YSRAFU/APSCH E-CET portal, check eligibility, upload photo, signature and certificates, pay fee and submit before the last date; retain login details for admit card, result and counselling.

Step 3: Check Result and Participate in Counselling

• For each stream (B.Arch / B.Tech / AP ADCET courses), results are declared online with rank or score card.

• Candidates then:

• Register for online counselling on the APSCHE/ADCET or AP EAPCET counselling portal.
• Fill in college and course choices (including YSRAFU and its constituent colleges) in order of preference.

Step 4: Seat Allotment and Merit Lists

• Seats are allotted based on entrance test rank, category reservations and choices filled; YSRAFU notes that a merit list is prepared on written test/score for each course.
• Shortlisted candidates receive allotment information/admit to admission round and must follow the schedule for reporting, failing which the seat may move to the next merit list or second round.

Step 5: Reporting, Document Verification and Fee Payment

• At the time of admission, candidates report to the university/allocated college with originals and photocopies of required documents (10th & 12th mark sheets, transfer/migration certificates, entrance rank card, category/reservation certificates, ID proof, photos, etc.).
• University authorities verify certificates; only after successful verification candidates pay the prescribed tuition and other fees to confirm their admission, after which remaining vacancies (if any) are filled via a second merit list or subsequent counselling rounds.
