TSCHE to introduce mock counselling for engineering admissions

In a major decision, the Telangana Council of Higher Education and Technical Education department have decided to introduce mock counselling for admissions to undergraduate engineering programmes under convener quota this year

Hyderabad: Candidates participating in the Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (TG EAPCET) 2025 web counselling can now view their tentative seat allotment based on their rank and choices submitted.

In a major move, the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) and the Technical Education Department have decided to introduce mock counselling for undergraduate engineering admissions under the convener quota for the first time this year.

TSCHE Chairman, Prof. V. Balakista Reddy, said that TG EAPCET 2025 mock counselling will be conducted on the lines of the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), which manages admissions to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded technical institutions.

As part of the new system, a mock seat allotment will be conducted first, and candidates will be informed via SMS about the college in which they have been tentatively allotted a seat. Students will then be given a chance to revise their choices before the final seat allotment is made.

Prof. Reddy added that the admission schedule for undergraduate engineering programmes under the convener quota through TG EAPCET 2025 will be released in the first or second week of July.

Meanwhile, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is expected to complete its annual approval process for all technical institutions by the end of this month. Once completed, the respective universities will grant affiliation to colleges, paving the way for the commencement of web counselling.
