Originals All documents listed above — for on-the-spot verification at the college
Self-Attested Photocopies Two sets of each document, signed by you as "Attested by Self" with date
Notarised Copies Required only if specifically mentioned in the college’s reporting notice
Passport-size Photographs Minimum 6 recent photos — white background, formal attire; carry 10 to be safe

Category-Specific Documents for TS PGECET 2026 Counselling

If you were allotted a seat under a reserved category, your certificate must be issued by a competent authority at MRO or Tahsildar level or above. Certificates issued by a non-competent authority are rejected during verification and the allotted seat may be cancelled on the spot.

Category Document Required Issuing Authority
SC / ST Caste Certificate MRO / Tahsildar
BC (A / B / C / D / E) Caste and Community Certificate MRO / Tahsildar
EWS Economically Weaker Section Certificate in the prescribed format Tahsildar

Students claiming local status must provide study certificates from every institution attended from Class 6 to their qualifying degree year. Each study certificate must carry the school or college stamp and the principal’s signature — unsigned or unstamped certificates are not accepted.


Steps to Report at the Allotted College After Phase 1

Follow these steps in sequence on the reporting day. Reach the college before the cut-off time mentioned in your allotment order — late arrivals may not be accommodated and risk losing the allotted seat.

  1. Download and print the Phase 1 allotment order from pgecet.tsche.ac.in before you leave home. Keep a soft copy on your phone as a backup.
  2. Arrange all documents in sequence as listed in the checklist above. Use a dedicated folder to keep originals separate from self-attested photocopies.
  3. Report to the admission cell of the allotted college and present the allotment order along with your Aadhar Card for initial check-in.
  4. Document verification — the college staff will check all original certificates one by one. Keep the originals ready but do not hand them over unless the staff specifically ask for them.
  5. Fill anti-ragging and declaration forms — these are usually available on-site and must be signed by both the student and a parent or guardian.
  6. Pay tuition fee and any other dues as per the college fee structure. Collect an official receipt for every payment made.
  7. Collect the provisional admission order issued by the college after all steps are completed. This document confirms your admission into the allotted program.

TS PGECET 2026 Counselling Documents FAQs

Ques. What happens if I am missing a document on the Phase 1 reporting day?

Ans. If a document such as the caste certificate or degree marks memo is missing, the college may give you a short window of one to two days to produce it. However, if the allotment order or rank card is absent, reporting is typically not processed. Carry every document listed in the checklist to avoid complications.

Ques. Is the Transfer Certificate mandatory for TS PGECET 2026 Phase 1 college reporting?

Ans. Yes, the Transfer Certificate (TC) from your previous institution is required for admission. If your qualifying degree results were declared recently and the TC is pending, carry a letter from your degree college confirming the TC will be issued within a specified number of days and submit the original TC as soon as it is ready.

Ques. Can someone else report on my behalf if I cannot be present on July 17?

Ans. No. TS PGECET 2026 Phase 1 college reporting requires you to be physically present for document verification and biometric authentication. A representative or parent cannot complete the reporting process on your behalf.

Ques. How many passport-size photographs should I carry for TS PGECET 2026 counselling?

Ans. Carry a minimum of 6 recent passport-size photographs with a plain white background in formal attire. Some colleges require photographs for multiple forms and ID cards, so carrying 10 photographs is safer to avoid any last-minute shortage.

Ques. Is an income certificate required for all students reporting after Phase 1?

Ans. The income certificate is required only for students applying under the EWS category or those who want to apply for the state government’s fee reimbursement scheme. Students from the general or open merit category who do not seek fee reimbursement do not need to submit an income certificate.

Ques. If I report in Phase 1 but am unhappy with the allotted college, can I still participate in Phase 2?

Ans. Students who report and take admission in Phase 1 may be allowed to participate in Phase 2 counselling to seek an upgrade, subject to TSCHE rules for the 2026 cycle. Check the official TS PGECET 2026 counselling schedule at pgecet.tsche.ac.in for Phase 2 dates, eligibility conditions, and upgrade process details.
