Who is affected?
This update affects eligible TG EAPCET 2026 candidates seeking B.E., B.Tech or Pharmacy admission through the M.P.C. stream. The notification states that qualified candidates should have at least 45% in the group subjects of Intermediate or an equivalent examination for the open category and 40% for other categories, subject to the complete admission rules.
Second-phase options may be exercised by candidates who did not receive a seat, did not enter options earlier after certificate verification, received a seat but want a better option, or are otherwise eligible under the notification. Candidates with NCC or Sports certificates verified in the first phase must also exercise options in the second and final phases to be considered for those category seats.
Required student action
- Open the official counselling website and sign in with your existing credentials.
- Review the available colleges and branches carefully.
- Enter fresh second-phase options by July 19; do not assume first-phase choices will be reused.
- Save, verify and freeze the final order of preference before the deadline.
- Check the portal for the provisional allotment on or before July 22.
- If allotted, pay the tuition fee and complete online self-reporting by July 24.
- Download and print the admission number and allotment documents.
- Physically report at the allotted college between July 25 and July 28 with the required records.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Sign in and enter fresh choices
Use the candidate login on the official portal. Add as many genuinely acceptable college and branch options as possible, then arrange them in your real preference order. The authority clearly states that first-phase options will not be considered for second-phase allotment.
2. Review the risk before changing an allotted seat
If a new seat is allotted from the fresh options, the previously allotted seat is released to another candidate. You cannot claim the old allotment afterward. Candidates satisfied with their current allotment should follow the reporting directions in their allotment order and official notification.
3. Complete payment and online self-reporting
After allotment, use Net Banking, credit card or debit card to pay the tuition fee shown in the order. Complete online self-reporting and print the generated admission number. The general processing fee in the notification is Rs. 600 for SC/ST candidates and Rs. 1,200 for other candidates; the tuition fee depends on the allotted institution and course.
4. Report physically with documents
Reporting after the second-phase allotment is mandatory. Carry the documents required by the official notice and allotment order, submit a set of photocopies and the original Transfer Certificate, and obtain an acknowledgement from the college.
Documents to keep ready
The official notification asks candidates attending certificate verification to bring original certificates and two sets of photocopies. The main records include:
- TG EAPCET 2026 rank card and hall ticket
- Aadhaar card
- SSC or equivalent marks memo
- Intermediate or equivalent memo-cum-pass certificate
- Study certificates from Class VI to Intermediate or equivalent
- Transfer Certificate
- Income, EWS, caste, residence and special-category certificates when applicable
- Allotment order, self-reporting printout and any document listed in the candidate’s order
Read the complete certificate list in the official detailed notification; the documents required vary by category and eligibility claim.
What happens if a deadline is missed?
Missing the tuition-fee or self-reporting deadline automatically cancels the provisional allotment. A candidate allotted a seat in the second phase who does not physically report at the college is not permitted to exercise options in the final phase. The authority also states that no requests will be entertained after the notified date and time, so complete each step early and save receipts and screenshots.
