Year-on-Year TS POLYCET Qualification Trends
The total number of students appearing in TS POLYCET has grown steadily over the past several years while the overall pass percentage has remained remarkably stable. This consistent qualification rate shows that TS POLYCET is accessible to a large proportion of Class 10 students who prepare across the three subjects.
- Total registrations have grown by approximately 5–8% each year over the past three years, driven by rising demand for polytechnic diploma courses in Telangana.
- The overall pass percentage has stayed between 78% and 82%, making TS POLYCET one of the more inclusive state-level entrance exams in South India.
- ST students show a slightly lower qualification rate compared to OC and BC students, partly because the minimum marks threshold is 30% for OC/BC yet remote ST-region schools often have fewer preparation resources — though SC/ST students can still qualify by appearing.
- The gap between registered and appeared students has consistently been around 5–7% — students who registered but did not show up on exam day account for this difference.
- Male students have historically formed the larger share of appeared students in TS POLYCET, though female participation has been increasing each year.

- SC category: Qualify by appearing — no minimum marks requirement. Any score earns a rank in the SC merit list.
- ST category: Qualify by appearing — no minimum marks threshold. Any score earns a rank in the ST merit list.
- PH (Differently-Abled): Qualify under horizontal reservation rules; specific relaxations may apply based on the disability certificate submitted at registration.
