Students who have cleared TS PGECET 2026 must carry all original certificates along with two sets of self-attested photocopies to the designated helpline centre for mandatory document verification before their seat allotment is confirmed.
TS PGECET 2026 — now officially referred to as TG PGECET — was conducted from May 29 to June 1, 2026, by TSCHE. The result has been declared and counselling is expected in August 2026. Certificate verification at a helpline centre is a non-negotiable step: the verification officer must clear your documents before a seat is allotted. Missing even one mandatory document can lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.
- Carry every document in original plus two sets of self-attested photocopies — helpline centres may not have photocopying facilities on-site.
- Category certificates (BC/SC/ST/EWS) must be issued by a competent Telangana government authority; income certificates must be dated after 01.01.2026.
- The verification officer will collect one set of photocopies; collect your Receipt of Certificates before leaving the helpline centre.
- Students with a GATE or GPAT score should carry the score card to claim additional weightage during counselling.

Local and Non-Local Student Requirements
TS PGECET 2026 seats in each district are divided between local and non-local students. You must establish your local status with the correct residence certificate at the time of document verification.
- Local students: Submit a residence certificate showing continuous residence in Telangana for at least 10 years preceding the date of the qualifying examination. A certificate from the MRO or a school study certificate covering those years is accepted.
- Non-local students: Submit an MRO (Mandal Revenue Officer) certificate confirming that either parent has resided in Telangana for at least 10 years. An income certificate in the parent’s name issued from Telangana is also required as supporting proof.
- Students who studied outside Telangana: A Migration Certificate from the last institution attended outside the state is mandatory, in addition to normal residence proof.
- Private study students: A residence certificate for the 7 years preceding the qualifying examination, issued by a Gazetted Officer of the locality, is required to establish local status.
Document Preparation Tips
Organising your documents before the helpline centre visit prevents last-minute delays that can cost you a seat. Follow the steps below once the TS PGECET 2026 counselling schedule is released.
- Request originals from your college early. TC, provisional certificate, and mark sheets can take days to obtain — do not wait until the counselling notification is published.
- Make two complete sets of self-attested photocopies and arrange them in the same order as the checklist. The verification officer takes one set; the second goes to the allotted college at the time of reporting.
- Check certificate dates. Income certificates must be issued after 01.01.2026. Community/caste certificates must be in the current Telangana prescribed format. Replace outdated certificates before the verification date.
- Upload documents online during registration. TS PGECET counselling includes a preliminary online document upload stage; scan each document at a minimum of 200 DPI in the specified file size before registration opens.
- Carry extra photographs. Bring at least 6 recent passport-size photographs (white background); they are required both at verification and when reporting to the allotted college.
- Collect the Receipt of Certificates from the counter before leaving the helpline centre — this receipt is proof of submission and is required at the time of college reporting.
