AP Inter 1st Year English Exam 2026: The Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) in Andhra Pradesh has scheduled the AP Inter 1st Year (Class 11) English Paper-I test for Friday, February 25th 2026. This is a significant event for roughly ten lakh students throughout Andhra Pradesh. The English language test follows the Second Language test and will assess students’ ability to communicate through language by testing their ability to read, write, listen and speak in English (i.e., poetry, prose, and sophisticated grammar will be part of the assessment).
The English Paper will be divided into 3 sections and will be worth 100 marks. Students will use a single answer book (one binder) for the entire paper, which consists of 32 pages and will therefore have to make sure they manage their time correctly in terms of completion time. There will be no extra sheets permitted this year. Those students who arrive after 9 AM will not be permitted to enter the exam room or examination area.
