The Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) has officially opened the TS EAMCET 2026 counselling process, also known as TG EAPCET 2026 counselling, for admission into BE/BTech and Pharmacy courses across Telangana. Eligible candidates can now register online, pay the processing fee and book a certificate verification slot at the official website, tgeapcet.nic.in.
The online application window for the first phase went live on June 19, 2026 and will remain open until June 28, 2026. Students who cleared TS EAMCET 2026 and secured a rank must complete registration separately, since qualifying the entrance test alone does not guarantee a seat. Admission is confirmed only after registration, fee payment, certificate verification, web options entry and final seat allotment.
To apply for TG EAPCET 2026 counselling, a candidate must have qualified TS EAMCET 2026 and secured the minimum aggregate in the group subjects of Intermediate (Class 12) or an equivalent examination. The qualifying cut-off is 45 per cent for OC category candidates and 40 per cent for candidates belonging to other categories. Securing a rank in the entrance test does not automatically translate into a seat; candidates must complete every step of the counselling process to be considered for allotment.
Candidates belonging to the SC and ST categories are required to pay a processing fee of Rs 600, while all other candidates, including OC, EWS, BC and Minority, must pay Rs 1,200. After fee payment, candidates under OC, EWS, BC, SC, ST and Minority categories must book a slot for certificate verification. Special category verification will be carried out on separately announced dates.
The first phase covers registration, certificate verification, option entry and provisional seat allotment.
