What Is TS SET and Why Do These Dates Matter?
The Telangana State Eligibility Test (TS SET), conducted by Osmania University on behalf of the Telangana State Government, is the gateway exam that determines eligibility for Assistant Professor and Lecturer positions in universities and degree colleges across the state.

TS SET 2026 Application Process: Step-by-Step
Once the application window opens on 3rd August 2026, here’s how you can apply:
- Visit the official TS SET portal at www.telanganaset.org.
- Locate the “Apply Online” link under the Useful Links section on the homepage.
- Register with your basic academic and personal details.
- Upload the required documents — photograph, signature, and category certificate (if applicable) in the prescribed format and size.
- Pay the applicable examination fee through the online payment gateway.
- Submit the form and save the confirmation page for future reference.
Applicants planning to submit their forms close to the 30th August deadline are strongly advised not to wait until the last moment, since server load tends to spike in the final 48 hours of any application window.
Late Fee Structure for TS SET 2026 Application
If you miss the 30th August deadline, you can still apply, but with an escalating late fee:
- 31 Aug – 5 Sep 2026: Rs. 1,500/- late fee + registration fee
- 6 Sep – 10 Sep 2026: Rs. 2,000/- late fee + registration fee
- 11 Sep – 12 Sep 2026: Rs. 3,000/- late fee + registration fee
After 12th September 2026, no further applications will be entertained, so this is effectively the final cut-off for TS SET 2026 registration.
Correction Window (Edit Option)
Candidates who spot an error in their submitted application — whether it’s a subject choice, exam center preference, or personal detail — get a short window from 13th to 15th September 2026 to make corrections online. Use this window carefully, since edits after this period will not be possible.
