TS ICET Counselling Dates 2026: Complete Phase-Wise Schedule, Fees & Document Checklist

The Telangana Council of Higher Education, through the Department of Technical Education (Telangana), has released the detailed TS ICET counselling 2026 notification, and the process is already in motion. If you cleared TGICET-2026 and are aiming for an MBA or MCA seat in Telangana, here is the complete, official phase-by-phase breakdown of dates, fees, eligibility, and required documents you cannot afford to miss.

TS ICET Counselling 2026 Overview

TGICET-2026 counselling is conducted entirely online through the official portal tgicet.nic.in, with a mandatory in-person certificate verification step at designated Help Line Centres (HLCs) across Telangana. The counselling covers admissions into MBA and MCA programmes at university and private colleges statewide, and runs across two main rounds — First Phase and Final Phase — followed by spot admissions for any leftover seats.

Who Can Apply for TS ICET 2026 Counselling?

To participate in TGICET-2026 counselling, a candidate must have qualified in the TGICET-2026 entrance exam and secured a minimum aggregate of 50% marks for OC category and 45% for reserved categories in their qualifying degree examination. Simply holding a rank card does not automatically guarantee admission — candidates must meet all eligibility conditions laid down in the official notification.

4. Pay the processing fee online.
5. Book your slot — choose a convenient Help Line Centre, date, and time for certificate verification.
6. Attend certificate verification in person with original documents on your allotted slot.
7. Receive your Login ID (sent via SMS) and use it to exercise your web options.
8. Freeze your options before the deadline and await the seat allotment result.

Documents Required for TS ICET Certificate Verification

Carry the original certificates along with two sets of self-attested photocopies:

• TGICET-2026 Rank Card and Hall Ticket
• Aadhaar Card
• SSC / equivalent marks memo
• Intermediate / equivalent memo-cum-pass certificate
• Degree marks memorandum and provisional pass certificate
• Study/bonafide certificate from Class IX through Degree
• Transfer Certificate (TC)
• Income certificate (issued on or after 01-01-2026), if applicable
• Integrated Community Certificate, if applicable
• EWS certificate valid for 2026–27, if applicable

Candidates under special categories — PHC (Physically Challenged), CAP (Children of Armed Forces Personnel), NCC, and Sports (SG) — must carry an additional set (three photocopies) and get verified only at Government Polytechnic, Masab Tank, Hyderabad, on their designated dates: SG on 1st August, PHC on 2nd August, CAP on 3rd August, and NCC across 1st–4th August 2026.

Reservation Categories in TS ICET Counselling 2026

• EWS reservation: 10%, per applicable government orders
• ST reservation: 10%
• PH reservation: 5%
• Local candidature: 85% seats reserved for local candidates of the Osmania University area, with the remaining 15% unreserved

What Happens If You Miss a Deadline?

If a candidate fails to pay the tuition fee or complete self-reporting within the stipulated window, the provisional seat allotment is automatically cancelled, and the candidate forfeits any claim over that seat. Similarly, physical reporting at the allotted college between 22 and 25 August 2026 (post Final Phase) is compulsory — skipping this step also cancels the admission.

Tips for TS ICET Counselling 2026 Candidates

• Book your certificate verification slot the moment registration opens — HLC slots fill up fast, especially in Hyderabad.
• Prepare a manual option-entry sheet in advance with institution codes, course codes, and district codes before logging in to enter web options.
• Enter as many options as possible in order of genuine preference to avoid missing out on a seat entirely.
• Keep your registered mobile number active throughout the process, since all OTPs, login IDs, and allotment alerts are sent via SMS.
