Andhra Pradesh's Board of Intermediate Education has announced that supplementary theory examinations for first- and second-year students will run from 21 May to early June 2026, giving students who need to retake papers a clear timetable ahead of the session. Separately, the state's Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department has issued a delimitation order redrawing ward boundaries across 87 municipalities and 13 municipal corporations, expanding the number of electoral wards in major cities — Visakhapatnam's wards, for instance, rise from 98 to 120, while Vijayawada's grow from 64 to 86. The ward expansion, based on updated population data, is expected to improve local governance representation across Andhra Pradesh (a southern Indian state on the Bay of Bengal coast).
