For the latest updates and direct links to official notifications, keep checking Manabadi.

High Court Fee Update for TG ECET Counselling 2026

The TG ECET Counselling Authority has issued an important notification regarding the tuition fees of 13 participating engineering colleges. These colleges are currently covered under various interim orders passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Telangana in connection with the fixation of tuition fees for the 2026–27 academic year.

Why Did These Colleges Approach the High Court?

Before every admission cycle, the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) reviews the fee proposals submitted by private engineering colleges and approves the tuition fee that can be collected from students for a specified block period.

However, several engineering colleges were dissatisfied with the fees approved by TAFRC. According to the institutions:

• The approved tuition fee was lower than what they had proposed.
• Certain genuine expenses, such as infrastructure development, laboratories, faculty salaries, maintenance, and other academic costs, were either reduced or not fully considered while calculating the fee.
• Some colleges also claimed that TAFRC considered incorrect student strength while calculating the fee, which resulted in a lower fee per student.
• They argued that these decisions would make it difficult to maintain the quality of education and campus facilities.

Because of these reasons, the colleges filed separate writ petitions before the Telangana High Court, requesting permission to collect either the previous fee structure or the revised fee they had proposed until the dispute is finally decided.

What Has the High Court Decided?

Since the TG ECET counselling process had already started and thousands of students were waiting for admissions, the High Court decided not to stop the counselling process.

Instead, the Court issued interim (temporary) orders allowing admissions to continue while the legal cases remain pending.

Under these interim directions:

• The concerned colleges are permitted to collect the tuition fee allowed under the respective High Court interim orders.
• The counselling authority has been instructed to display these court orders on the official counselling portal so that candidates are aware of the ongoing fee dispute.
• Candidates must also be informed that the tuition fee for these colleges may increase or change depending on the final judgment of the High Court.
• The Court has not yet given its final verdict on the fee dispute. The issue will be decided after hearing all parties in detail.

What Does This Mean for Students?

Students and parents do not need to worry about their admissions.

The High Court order does not affect the TG ECET counselling schedule, seat allotment, or admission process.

If you receive a seat in any of the colleges covered under these High Court orders:

• You can continue with tuition fee payment and online self-reporting as per the official counselling schedule.
• Your admission will remain valid after completing all counselling formalities.
• However, since the fee dispute is still pending before the High Court, the tuition fee for these colleges may be revised later, depending on the final decision of the Court.
• Candidates should therefore carefully read the fee details displayed during counselling and keep checking official notifications for further updates.

In simple terms, there is no issue with your admission, but the final tuition fee for these colleges has not yet been permanently decided.

Colleges Covered Under the High Court Orders

The latest notification issued by the TG ECET counselling authority includes the following institutions:

Revised Fee Structure 2026

The High Court has cleared specific Writ Petitions permitting the following prominent colleges in Hyderabad to implement increased annual tuition fees starting this academic year:

Important Note on Counselling Codes: Candidates must verify the exact Counselling Code during option entry. For instance, the new fee structure applies exclusively to Anurag University under the code ANUG. Do not confuse it with other campuses or institutions under the same management that operate under distinct counselling codes (such as ANRH or ANRK).

What Should Candidates Do Now?

If you are allotted a seat in any of the above colleges:

• Complete tuition fee payment within the prescribed schedule.
• Finish online self-reporting before the deadline.
• Read the tuition fee details carefully before confirming admission.
• Keep copies of your allotment order and payment receipt.
• Regularly visit Manabadi for the latest TG ECET counselling updates, official notifications, and any further announcements regarding the High Court cases.

Important: The High Court has issued only an interim (temporary) order to ensure that admissions continue smoothly. The final tuition fee for these colleges will be decided only after the Court delivers its final judgment in the pending writ petitions.
