The post TG EAPCET 2026 Counselling Process, Dates & Seat Allotment at manabadi.co.in appeared first on Manabadi Entrance Exams.

Following the web option-freezing deadline, the comprehensive TG EAPCET 2026 Final Phase Seat Allotment Result will release on or before August 5, 2026. Candidates securing an allocation must complete online tuition fee clearances and self-reporting mechanisms between August 5 and August 7, 2026. Because Round 3 functions as the absolute final regular centralized phase of the academic calendar, all remaining college vacancies will transition exclusively to internal sliding windows and institutional spot admission tracks starting August 12, 2026.

What is Round 3 (Final Phase) Counselling?

The Round 3 (Final Phase) is the last opportunity for candidates to secure admission through the convener quota. This phase is specifically designed for:

• New Candidates: Students who did not participate in Phase 1 or Phase 2 counselling 
• Upgradation Seekers: Candidates who wish to secure a better college or branch 
• Missed Opportunity Candidates: Students who failed to get a seat in earlier rounds

Critical Note: It is mandatory to exercise options afresh for the Final Phase. Options submitted during Phase 1 or Phase 2 are automatically discarded and will not be considered .

The TG EAPCET 2026 counselling for the MPC stream officially commenced on June 19, 2026, following the activation of the online portal by the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE). The Phase 1 counselling process involves several essential stages, including online registration, payment of the processing fee, slot booking, and certificate verification at designated Help Line Centres (HLCs).

Following verification, candidates proceed to web option entry (June 25 to July 1) and receive a mock seat allotment by July 4. Candidates can modify their selections from July 5 to July 7 before the final Phase 1 seat allotment on or before July 10, 2026, which is followed by tuition fee payment and online self-reporting. The released TG EAMCET 2026 Counselling Notification outlines this entire schedule and admission procedure for Engineering courses, with a separate timeline designated for Agriculture and Pharmacy (BiPC) streams. Qualified candidates can participate by completing their online registration and attending document verification, after which they can lock in their preferred colleges and branches based on their TG EAPCET rank, reservation category, and seat availability.

According to the latest reports, the TG EAPCET (formerly TS EAMCET) 2026 counselling process is scheduled to commence from June 19, 2026. The admission process will be conducted in three phases, followed by internal sliding and spot admission rounds to fill remaining vacant seats. The counselling schedule was finalized during a meeting of the admission committee held at the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) office in Hyderabad, under the chairmanship of TGCHE Chairman Prof. V. Balakista Reddy. Candidates seeking admission into Engineering and Pharmacy courses offered by various institutions across Telangana can participate in the counselling process as per the prescribed schedule.

This complete guide covers everything you need to know about the TG EAMCET 2026 counselling schedule, including registration fees, required documents, slot booking for certificate verification, web option entry, and the seat allotment process. Before counselling begins, candidates are advised to refer to reliable college predictor tools to estimate admission chances based on their rank and make better-informed choices during web options entry.

TG EAPCET 2026: Engineering Slot Booking Conclude

The slot booking process for admissions into engineering courses under TG EAPCET 2026 will conclude by 29-06-2026 (Monday). This was announced by the Admissions Convenor, Sridevasena, in an official statement released on Sunday.

Key Details from the Announcement:

• Current Registrations: Around 92,000 candidates had successfully booked their counseling slots as of Sunday evening.
• Important Guideline: The convenor explicitly clarified that candidates will only be allowed to exercise their web options after they have successfully booked a slot and completed their mandatory certificate/document verification process.

Manabadi Notice to Students: If you have not booked your slot for certificate verification yet, today is your last opportunity to complete the fee payment and lock in a time slot at your preferred Help Line Centre (HLC). Web options entry will open only for candidates who complete this verification.

15,000 New Seats Expected for Second Phase Counselling.

As the TG EAPCET Phase 1 Counselling gets underway starting June 19, with web options opening on June 25, a significant development is expected to change the seat availability matrix for the Second Phase of Counselling.

Candidates participating in the admission rounds should closely follow these critical updates:

Key Highlights for Candidates:

• 15,000 New Seats Sanctioned: The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has granted approval for 15,000 new engineering seats across various colleges in the state. This includes intake for brand-new courses and additional seats in existing branches.
• Why it Impacts Phase 2: University inspections by JNTUH and Osmania University were initially completed based only on last year’s branch capacities. To officially include these new seats, fresh inspections must be conducted to verify faculty, labs, and mandatory infrastructure.
• Final Approval Awaited: The state government must issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for these seats, and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will make the final decision. Because of this verification timeline, officials estimate that these additional seats will only be available starting from the Second Phase of Counselling.
• Focus on Core Branches: While nearly 70% of currently available seats are in Computer Science (CSE) and allied branches, authorities note signs of rising demand for core engineering branches this year. The government is analyzing whether expanding CSE seats further is necessary before finalizing the second phase seat distribution.

TS EAMCET Counselling: Next Steps After Certificate Verification

• Verify Your Receipt of Certificates (ROC): Before leaving the Help Line Centre (HLC), carefully check your Receipt of Certificates (ROC) for any errors. Ensure your Fee Reimbursement eligibility status is correctly mentioned. If it is incorrectly shown as “No” despite having a valid Income Certificate, request the HLC staff to correct it immediately.
• Submit Pending Documents on Time: If you have submitted only part of the required documents during certificate verification, you must sign the Pending Document Undertaking. Submit all pending original certificates to the Principal of the allotted college within the prescribed time. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of your allotted seat.
• Check for Your Login ID: After successful certificate verification, a unique Login ID will be sent to your registered mobile number via SMS. If you do not receive the message within a reasonable time, contact the officials at the Help Line Centre before leaving to ensure your verification process has been completed successfully.
• Create Your Web Options Password: The counselling authority does not send a password. Candidates must generate their own password through the official TG EAPCET counselling portal using their Hall Ticket Number, Registration Number, Login ID, and Date of Birth.
• Exercise Web Options: Once the Web Options link is activated on the official counselling portal, log in using your credentials and enter your preferred college and branch choices. Keep your Login ID and password secure, as they are required for modifying, saving, and freezing your web options.

Note: All candidates must ensure that documents are valid, original, and properly issued by authorized government departments. Carrying photocopies (preferably 2 sets) is strongly recommended for smooth verification at the Helpline Centre.

How to Book TG EAPCET Counselling Slot

Booking a counselling slot is the first important step after the TS EAPCET 2026 schedule is announced. Candidates must complete the process online to secure a date and time for certificate verification at the Helpline Centre(HLC).

What is HLC in TG EAPCET 2026 Counselling?

HLC (Help Line Centre) is a designated centre where candidates must visit for certificate verification during TG EAPCET 2026 counselling. Without completing verification at an HLC, candidates will not be allowed to exercise web options or participate in seat allotment.

What Happens at an HLC?

At the Help Line Centre, officials will:

• Verify the candidate’s identity through biometric authentication.
• Check original certificates such as TG EAPCET Rank Card, Hall Ticket, Intermediate Memo, SSC Memo, Study Certificates, Income and Caste Certificates (if applicable).
• Issue a Receipt of Certificates (ROC) after successful verification.

How to Choose an HLC?

After paying the counselling processing fee, candidates can select a Help Line Centre during slot booking. It is advisable to choose a centre nearest to their residence, as certificate verification done at any authorized HLC has equal validity across Telangana.

Step 1: Pay the Processing Fee

Log in using the TG EAPCET Hall Ticket Number, Date of Birth, and other required details. Complete the online payment of the counselling processing fee.

Step 2: Select District or City

The portal displays the list of available Help Line Centres across Telangana. Candidates can filter centres based on their preferred district or city.

Step 3: Choose a Convenient HLC

Candidates are free to choose any nearby Help Line Centre. There is no requirement to visit Hyderabad unless it is convenient. Certificate verification performed at any authorized HLC carries equal validity throughout the state.

Step 4: Book Date and Time Slot

After selecting the Help Line Centre, candidates can choose an available date and time slot. Once confirmed, they should download and keep a copy of the Slot Booking Slip for future use.

Prefer Early Slot Booking

Candidates are advised to book slots during the initial days of the counselling schedule. In case of missing or incorrect certificates, early booking provides sufficient time to rectify the issue and attend verification again before the deadline.

Important for Special Category Candidates

Candidates claiming reservation under NCC, Sports (SG), CAP, PHC, and Anglo-Indian (ANG) categories must attend certificate verification only at Government Polytechnic, Masab Tank, Hyderabad, as special category verification is conducted exclusively there.

Note: Candidates must strictly attend the Helpline Centre on the selected date and time slot along with all original documents and required photocopies. Missing the scheduled slot may delay the counselling process.

Importance of TG EAPCET Help Line Centres

TG EAPCET Help Line Centres (HLCs) are designated centres established by the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) for certificate verification during the counselling process. These centres are generally located in Government Polytechnics, Degree Colleges, and University campuses across Telangana. Candidates must visit the allotted HLC in person after slot booking to complete document verification.

• A centre nearest to your residence.
• A centre with convenient travel access.
• An HLC with available slots on your preferred date and time.

Once the slot is booked, candidates must report only to the selected Help Line Centre on the scheduled date and time. Without processing fee payment and slot booking, certificate verification will not be permitted.

TG EAPCET 2026 Certificate Verification: Common Mistakes to Avoid at HLCs and Problems Students May Face

The certificate verification process at the Help Line Centers (HLCs) is one of the most crucial stages of TG EAPCET 2026 counselling. A small mistake during verification can create problems in seat allotment, category reservation, or fee reimbursement. Candidates should therefore be extremely careful and ensure that all details are verified before leaving the HLC.

1. Reaching the HLC Without Complete Documents

One of the most common mistakes made by students is attending certificate verification without carrying all the required documents. Some candidates also fail to bring enough photocopies or arrange the certificates in the prescribed order.

Problems Students May Face

• Delay in certificate verification.
• Need to revisit the HLC with missing documents.
• Possibility of missing the allotted verification slot.
• Unnecessary stress and confusion at the centre.

How to Avoid It

Carry all original certificates along with at least three sets of photocopies. Arrange the documents in the order specified in the counselling notification and on the notice boards at the Help Line Center.

Important documents include:

• TG EAPCET Hall Ticket
• TG EAPCET Rank Card
• SSC Marks Memo
• Intermediate Marks Memo
• Study Certificates from Class VI to Intermediate
• Transfer Certificate (TC)
• Caste Certificate (if applicable)
• Income Certificate
• Aadhaar Card and other supporting documents as prescribed

2. Not Checking the Receipt of Certificates (ROC)

After the verification process is completed, candidates receive a Receipt of Certificates (ROC). Many students simply collect the document and leave without verifying the information printed on it.

Problems Students May Face

• Incorrect name or spelling mistakes.
• Wrong date of birth or gender details.
• Incorrect local area status (OU, AU, or SVU).
• Wrong caste category.
• Incorrect income status affecting fee reimbursement.
• Errors in the database that may impact seat allotment.

How to Avoid It

Before leaving the HLC, carefully verify every detail mentioned in the ROC. If any mistake is found, immediately approach the Chief Verification Officer and get it corrected on the same day.

3. Submitting Expired or Invalid Income and Caste Certificates

Many students unknowingly carry old certificates that do not satisfy the validity requirements mentioned in the official counselling notification.

Problems Students May Face

• Rejection of income certificate.
• Loss of tuition fee reimbursement benefits.
• Rejection of EWS or caste reservation claims.
• Being treated under the Open Category (OC).

How to Avoid It

Ensure that Income Certificates and EWS/Caste Certificates are valid and issued according to the timelines prescribed for TG EAPCET 2026 counselling.

4. Missing Special Category Verification

Candidates claiming reservations under NCC, CAP, Sports, or PwD categories often assume that verification can be completed at any Help Line Center. However, these certificates are generally verified only at designated HLCs and on specific dates.

Problems Students May Face

• Loss of special reservation benefits.
• Ineligibility under NCC, CAP, Sports, or PwD quota.
• Need for additional visits and delays.
• Missing the scheduled verification date.

How to Avoid It

Carefully read the counselling notification and verify special category certificates only at the designated Help Line Centers on the specified dates.

5. Providing an Incorrect or Inactive Mobile Number

After certificate verification, the system sends an SMS containing the Login ID to the registered mobile number. This Login ID is essential for password generation and web options entry.

Problems Students May Face

• Failure to receive the Login ID.
• Difficulty in generating the password.
• Problems accessing the candidate portal.
• Inability to exercise web options.
• Delay in participating in subsequent counselling stages.

How to Avoid It

Ensure that the mobile number provided during registration is active and accessible. Keep the phone with you during and after certificate verification and preserve the Login ID message safely.

6. Leaving the HLC Without Correcting Errors

Some students notice mistakes in their records only after returning home.

Problems Students May Face

• Incorrect category or local area status in the database.
• Issues during seat allotment.
• Loss of fee reimbursement eligibility.
• Additional effort required to request corrections later.

How to Avoid It

Do not leave the Help Line Center until all details in the Receipt of Certificates have been thoroughly checked and confirmed.

7. Not Preserving the Receipt of Certificates (ROC)

The ROC issued after verification is an important document required during later stages of counselling.

Problems Students May Face

• Difficulty generating the password.
• Issues during web option entry.
• Trouble during subsequent counselling rounds.

How to Avoid It

Keep the ROC safely and retain both physical and digital copies for future reference.

TG EAPCET 2026 Option Entry / Web Options

The TG EAPCET 2026 web options entry process allows candidates to select and arrange their preferred colleges and branches in order of priority. This step plays a key role in seat allotment.

Step-by-Step Guide for Web Options Entry

• Start by logging in using your Registration Number and Password
• Enter your Hall Ticket Number and Date of Birth for verification
• An OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number, enter it to proceed
• Click on the “Click Here for Option Entry” link
• Select your preferences such as district, college type, and course/branch
• Add your chosen colleges and branches in order of priority (highest preference first)
• Review your selected options and click on “Save Options” to store them
• Before the deadline, use the “Freeze Options” option to lock your choices (no changes allowed after freezing)

Note: Candidates should carefully arrange their preferences because seat allotment is based on the saved and frozen options. Always double-check before final submission to avoid mistakes.

Pro Tips for Web Options:

TG EAPCET Counselling 2026 Schedule – Complete Round Summary

What is TG EAPCET Normalization & How it Works:

TG EAPCET is a massive exam conducted over several days in multiple morning and afternoon shifts (sessions). Because a fresh question paper must be made for each shift, it is practically impossible to keep the exact same difficulty level for every single session.

If ranks were allocated purely based on raw marks, a student who got a difficult shift would be unfairly punished, while a student who got an easy shift would get an unfair advantage.

Normalization is a data-driven, scientific process that balances the playing field. It adjusts scores based on how hard or easy a specific shift was relative to all other shifts combined, ensuring a fair competition for everyone.

1. The Official Normalization Formula & Breakdown:

The official formula used by JNTU Hyderabad (on behalf of TGCHE) to calculate your normalized score is:

Normalized Marks=GMS+(STA−SMS)/(GTA−GMS)​×(Actual Raw Marks−SMS)

Formula Component Breakdown:

• Actual Raw Marks: The score you actually obtained in your shift (out of 160) based on the official key.
• GMS (Global Average + Standard Deviation): The sum of the average marks and standard deviation of all candidates across all shifts combined.
• GTA (Global Top 0.1% Average): The average marks of the top 0.1% of candidates across all shifts combined.
• SMS (Session Average + Standard Deviation): The sum of the average marks and standard deviation of only the candidates in your specific shift.
• STA (Session Top 0.1% Average): The average marks of the top 0.1% of candidates in your specific shift.

Note: If the final calculated normalized mark results in a negative value, it is rounded off to zero. If a candidate scores a near-perfect score, their normalized score can mathematically exceed 150+ based on the shift variables.

2. Easy vs. Difficult Shifts (With Examples)

• Difficult Shift: The overall group performance drops because the questions are tough. The session average (SMS) and top 0.1% average (STA) will be lower.
  • Result: The formula heavily rewards your score. Your normalized marks will increase compared to your raw marks.
• Easy Shift: The overall group scores highly because the paper is straightforward. The session values (SMS and STA) will be higher.
  • Result: Your normalized marks might stay the same or decrease slightly because you need a much higher score in an easy paper to match the same percentile rank of a tough paper.

Practical Comparative Example:

Even though Student B got more raw marks, Student A gets a higher final rank because their performance in a harder environment was statistically superior.

3. Subject-Wise Marks Distribution

The test paper contains 160 multiple-choice questions (1 mark each). The exam lasts 3 hours, and there is no negative marking.

MPC Stream (Engineering)

• Mathematics: 80 Questions (80 Marks)
• Physics: 40 Questions (40 Marks)
• Chemistry: 40 Questions (40 Marks)
• Total: 160 Marks

BiPC Stream (Agriculture & Pharmacy)

• Biology (Botany + Zoology): 80 Questions (40 Botany + 40 Zoology = 80 Marks)
• Physics: 40 Questions (40 Marks)
• Chemistry: 40 Questions (40 Marks)
• Total: 160 Marks

4. Merit List & Minimum Qualifying Criteria

• The 100% Merit Rule: The final merit list and rank assignment are calculated 100% based on your final Normalized Score. No board weightage is mixed into your ranking score.
• Qualifying Cutoff: To find a place on the rank list, General (OC) and OBC candidates must score a minimum of 25% of the total marks (meaning a minimum of 40 marks post-normalization).
• SC/ST Relaxation: There are no minimum qualifying cutoff marks for SC and ST candidates.

5. Official Tie-Break Rules

If two or more candidates obtain the exact same final normalized score, the board applies strict, step-by-step tie-breaking criteria to decide who secures the better rank.

MPC Stream (Engineering) Tie-Breakers:

1. 1st Step: Higher normalized marks secured in Mathematics in TG EAPCET.
2. 2nd Step: Higher normalized marks secured in Physics in TG EAPCET.
3. 3rd Step (Age Seniority): If the scores are still tied, the candidate who is older (by Date of Birth) is placed higher on the rank list.

BiPC Stream (Agriculture & Pharmacy) Tie-Breakers:

1. 1st Step: Higher normalized marks secured in Biology in TG EAPCET.
2. 2nd Step: Higher normalized marks secured in Physics in TG EAPCET.
3. 3rd Step (Age Seniority): If the scores are still tied, the candidate who is older (by Date of Birth) is placed higher on the rank list.

Why the TG EAPCET Counselling Notification 2026 is Delayed

• College Inspections & Verification: The Higher Education Department has been conducting rigorous verifications across various university and private engineering colleges. They are inspecting critical infrastructure, faculty availability, and mandatory lab facilities to match the required course standards before submitting their final report to the government .
• The Fee Reimbursement & GO 7 Dispute: A major conflict arose between private college managements and the state government over GO Number 7. Under this proposed rule, the government planned to credit fee reimbursement amounts directly into the students’ personal bank accounts rather than routing them directly to the colleges .
• Management Objections: College owners challenged this in court, arguing that if funds are deposited into students’ personal accounts, many families might divert the money for personal use, creating severe maintenance and financial tracking problems for the institutions .

How the Issue Was Resolved

• The 1-Week Payment Rule: The legal and administrative bottlenecks have now been cleared. It has been finalized that while the money will be credited to student bank accounts, students must mandatorily transfer the fee to their respective colleges within one week of receiving it.
• Backend System Ready: The government has completed the backend framework, including banking tie-ups, to ensure seamless routing of these funds explicitly to the colleges and to prevent personal diversion.
• The “e-Pass” Tracking System: To maintain absolute accountability, a specialized tracking system through e-Pass accounts will be deployed. This system will dynamically track who has received government credits and verify whether the corresponding amount has successfully been submitted to the college.

Every year, lakhs of students appear for the TG EAPCET to compete for seats in Government, University, Autonomous, and Private colleges. Admission is granted through the TG EAPCET 2026 Counselling process, where candidates are allotted colleges and branches based on their rank, category, local area status, reservation policy, web options, and seat availability. Candidates aspiring to secure admission into top colleges should stay updated with the latest counselling schedule, cutoff ranks, seat allotment, and admission notifications throughout the counselling process.

For the latest TG EAPCET 2026 Cutoff Ranks, Marks vs Rank Analysis, Counselling Updates, College Predictor, Counselling Simulator, and Category-wise Qualifying Marks, candidates can visit Manabadi.co.in, one of India’s leading educational portals. The platform provides timely updates on TG EAPCET 2026 results, rank cards, counselling schedules, certificate verification, web option entry, seat allotment results, engineering college cutoff trends, and admission notifications, helping students stay informed throughout the admission process.

What is TS EAMCET Cutoff 2026?

The TG EAPCET (formerly TS EAMCET) Cutoff 2026 refers to the minimum qualifying marks required for candidates to become eligible for ranking and participation in the TG EAPCET 2026 counselling process. The qualifying cutoff is prescribed by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH) on behalf of the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE). It is the first eligibility criterion for admission into Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy courses offered by participating colleges across Telangana.

Candidates who secure the prescribed qualifying marks are assigned a TG EAPCET 2026 rank, which is used during counselling and seat allotment. The final admission, however, depends on multiple factors such as TG EAPCET rank, reservation category, local area status, seat availability, and the web options exercised by the candidate during counselling.

The TG EAPCET 2026 cutoff also helps candidates estimate their admission chances by comparing their expected rank with previous years’ college-wise closing ranks and cutoff trends. Understanding the cutoff enables students to make informed decisions while selecting colleges and branches during the web options process.

Factors Affecting TG EAPCET Cutoff 2026

Several factors influence the cutoff marks every year. Students should understand these variables to realistically assess their admission chances.

1. Number of Candidates Appeared

Higher the number of test-takers, higher the competition, which can increase cutoff scores.

2. Difficulty Level of the Exam

If the question paper is tough, the cutoff may decrease. Conversely, an easier paper often results in higher cutoffs.

3. Number of Available Seats

Seat availability across engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy colleges directly impacts cutoff ranks.

4. Reservation Policy

Category-wise reservation (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) plays a crucial role in determining cutoff scores.

5. Performance of Candidates

Overall performance trends of candidates in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry affect normalization and cutoff.

Tips to Maximize Admission Chances

Here are strategies to improve your chances of getting into top colleges:

• Focus on Scoring High Marks
  Higher marks generally mean better ranks and choice of branches.
• Use Rank Predictors
  Tools that estimate rank based on your marks can guide counselling decisions.
• Understand College Cutoff Trends
  Research past cutoff ranks of your target colleges — this helps set realistic expectations before counselling.
• Prioritize Choices Wisely
  During counselling, choose colleges based on both your rank and future career goals.

The reservation policy aims to ensure equitable admission opportunities for candidates from different social and economic backgrounds. In addition to vertical reservations for various categories, horizontal reservations are provided for women candidates and other special categories as per the Government of Telangana norms. These reservation provisions are strictly implemented during the certificate verification, web counselling, and seat allotment process.

Candidates claiming SC, ST, BC, or EWS reservation must ensure that their caste or income certificate application details are correctly linked during the online counselling registration for successful verification. Candidates applying under special reservation categories such as PwD, NCC, CAP, or Sports must book a certificate verification slot and produce the original valid certificates at the designated Help Line Centres (HLCs). Failure to submit valid supporting documents or complete the verification process within the prescribed schedule will result in the candidate being considered under the Open Category (OC)/Unreserved category, as per the counselling rules.

Telangana Engineering Admissions: 15,000 New Seats Approved by AICTE; Likely to be Available from Second Phase Counseling

AICTE Approval: 15,000 new engineering seats have been sanctioned by AICTE.

Management Request: College managements urge the state government to grant immediate approval.

Counseling Schedule: The newly approved seats are expected to be available by the second phase of counseling; the first phase begins today.

There is a strong possibility that the total number of B.Tech seats in Telangana may increase this year. However, the final decision is yet to be taken by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. Last year, the total intake across both convenor and management quotas stood at 1,25,345 seats.

For the current academic year, several colleges have applied to the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) seeking approval for additional seats in existing branches as well as new course offerings. Accordingly, the AICTE has granted approval for around 15,000 new seats. However, the state government still needs to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for these seats to be officially included.

Representatives from various college managements recently met government authorities to expedite the approval process. Expressing their concerns, the managements stated that while private and deemed universities are admitting large numbers of students, they face restrictions in increasing their own seat intake. They further added that fee structures are being reduced and pending fee reimbursement dues are not being released, which is creating financial pressure on institutions.

Demand Expected to Rise for Core Branches

The government has pointed out that nearly 70% of the currently available seats are concentrated in Computer Science and its allied branches. This year, there are indications that demand for core engineering branches might rise. In this context, the government is carefully analyzing whether it is truly necessary to increase CSE-related seats further.

Meanwhile, the Technical Education Department has sought details from the respective universities regarding how many additional seats each college is asking for. They have requested comprehensive information on the admission trends, the quality of education provided, and the infrastructural readiness of these colleges. A detailed report will be submitted to the Chief Minister as soon as this response is received.

Seats Available Only After Fresh Inspections

Although Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH) and Osmania University (OU) have already completed college inspections, those evaluations were completed entirely based on last year’s branches and seat capacities. Now, if new courses and additional seats are to be approved, fresh inspections must be conducted. Approvals will only be granted to colleges that strictly comply with regulations regarding qualified faculty, laboratories, and other mandatory infrastructure.

Given the timeline, officials estimate that even if these additional seats receive government clearance, they can only be included starting from the second phase of counseling. The first phase of the engineering counseling process is scheduled to begin on June 19, with the web options facility opening on June 25. For reference, the government had permitted 7,650 additional seats during the second phase of counseling last year as well.

76,795 Engineering Seats Filled Last Year

Last year, two new government engineering colleges were added under the jurisdiction of Palamuru and Satavahana Universities. On the other hand, five private colleges closed down—among which two were converted into deemed universities, one merged into a private university, and two others did not apply for renewal at all. In total, 76,795 B.Tech seats were filled across government and private engineering colleges last year. Additionally, it was estimated that around 6,500 seats would be added under the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) quota.

Old Fee Structure to Continue for 12 Select Colleges

The Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) has clarified that tuition fees will not be increased for 11 private engineering colleges and one law college in the state.

College representatives from 12 institutions—including Anurag, Guru Nanak, Mahavir Group, Sree Dattha, Methodist, and Nalla Malla Reddy, among others—had previously filed a petition in the High Court. They claimed injustice, stating that their fees for the 2025–28 block period were initially increased but subsequently slashed. The High Court then directed TAFRC to summon the college representatives and conduct a fresh hearing regarding their fees.

In compliance with the court’s directive, TAFRC held detailed review meetings with the college representatives on June 15 and 16. On Wednesday, TAFRC officially issued letters to these colleges stating that after a thorough verification of all income, expenditure, and financial documents necessary for fee determination, the committee has decided to maintain the previously fixed fee structure without any changes. TAFRC issued this clarity as the engineering counseling is set to commence on June 19.
