The Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh (BIEAP) has officially released the hall tickets for the Intermediate Public Practical Examinations (IPE) 2026. Students appearing for the practical exams can now access their admit cards online, ahead of the examinations scheduled to begin on February 1, 2026.
The practical examinations for general courses will be conducted from February 1 to February 10, while vocational course practicals will take place slightly earlier, from January 27 to February 10. The announcement brings much-needed clarity for lakhs of Intermediate students across Andhra Pradesh, allowing them to plan their preparation and logistics in advance.
How to Download AP Inter Practical Hall Tickets
Students can download their hall tickets by visiting the official BIEAP website at bie.ap.gov.in. To log in, candidates must enter their first-year hall ticket number, Aadhaar number, and date of birth. Once logged in, the hall ticket can be viewed, downloaded, and printed for future reference.
In addition to the website, BIEAP has also made hall tickets accessible through the ‘Mana Mitra’ WhatsApp chatbot, offering a convenient alternative for students. To use this service, students need to send “Hi” to 9552300009, select Educational Services, and follow the on-screen instructions to download their hall tickets directly on their phones.
Hall Tickets Through Colleges
Students can also collect their hall tickets from their respective junior colleges. College principals can download the hall tickets using their institutional login credentials and distribute them to students. Importantly, the board has issued strict instructions to private colleges not to withhold hall tickets under any circumstances, including pending fee payments. This move ensures that no student is denied the opportunity to appear for examinations due to administrative issues.
Exam Timings and Schedule
Vocational practical examinations will be held in two shifts each day:
- Morning shift: 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon
- Afternoon shift: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Meanwhile, BIEAP has confirmed that Intermediate theory exam hall tickets will be released in February 2026. As per the revised schedule:
- Second-year theory exams: February 24 to March 23
- First-year theory exams: February 23 to March 24
All theory examinations will be conducted in a single shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon. The board had earlier revised the timetable due to holidays, with select exam dates shifted by a day.
Students are advised to carefully check the details mentioned on their hall tickets and report any discrepancies to the college authorities immediately. With exams approaching, timely download and preparation remain crucial.
