The TG EAPCET 2026 (Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test) counselling began with Phase 1 on June 19, 2026. Conducted by JNTUH on behalf of TGCHE, the counselling process covers online registration, processing fee payment, certificate verification, Web Options, Mock Seat Allotment, option modification, Final Seat Allotment, tuition fee payment, and self-reporting for admission into Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy courses across Telangana.
The TG EAPCET 2026 Phase 2 Counselling is scheduled to begin on July 17, 2026. It is intended for candidates who were not allotted a seat, did not participate in Phase 1, or wish to upgrade their college or branch.
