AP ECET 2026 Participation Statistics: 2025 vs. 2026

The number of applicants for AP ECET has remained relatively stable over the last few years, with a slight upward trend in 2026 due to the increasing popularity of lateral entry in Computer Science and AI-related branches.

Gender-Wise Breakdown

The AP ECET traditionally sees a higher number of male participants, primarily because a large majority of Diploma students in core engineering branches (Mechanical, Civil, EEE) are male. However, female participation is steadily rising, particularly in Electronics (ECE), Computer Science (CSE), and Pharmacy.

2025 Gender Data (Qualified Candidates):

  • Male: 23,431
  • Female: 6,473

2026 Trend Analysis:

Early registration data for 2026 suggests a 7% to 10% increase in female applicants compared to last year. This is largely driven by the expansion of seats in "new-age" IT branches where the gender gap is narrower than in traditional manufacturing or construction branches.

Stream-Wise Participation Trends

While the exact 2026 numbers by branch will be released post-exam, the current application trends show the following distribution:

  1. Engineering (Diploma Holders): 85% of total participants.
    • Top Branches: CSE, ECE, and Mechanical Engineering continue to have the highest volumes.
  2. Pharmacy (Diploma Holders): 10% of total participants.
    • This stream has a significantly higher female-to-male ratio compared to the engineering stream.
  3. B.Sc. (Mathematics) Graduates: 5% of total participants.
    • This remains a smaller niche, as most B.Sc. graduates opt for regular PG courses, but those seeking lateral entry into B.Tech are increasing.
