TS ICET 2026 Spot Admission: The Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Telangana, has announced the official guidelines and schedule for the institutional spot admission round for TG ICET 2026. This admission phase aims to fill remaining vacant seats in Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Computer Applications (MCA) programs across private unaided and university constituent colleges. Candidates interested in securing a seat through this round must approach the Principal of their chosen institute directly.
The spot admission process operates on an institutional level and allows both TG ICET-qualified and non-qualified applicants to seek entry based on merit and seat availability.
The Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE), through the Department of Technical Education, Telangana, has released the spot admission guidelines for MBA and MCA vacant seats in university and private unaided colleges on 24 August 2026. This round is meant to fill seats that remain vacant after the first phase and final phase of TG ICET 2026 counselling. Candidates who qualified for TG ICET 2026 get first priority; if seats still remain vacant, colleges may consider other eligible candidates.
Spot admissions are conducted directly at the college level, not through the centralised online counselling portal. Check the official notice below:
