What is TG CPGET (OUCET) Application Form 2026?

TG CPGET — Telangana Common Post Graduate Entrance Test, formerly called OUCET (Osmania University Common Entrance Test) — is the state-level PG entrance test administered by TGCHE for admission to M.A., M.Sc., M.Com., M.Ed., MSW, MCJ, MLibISc, and 5-year integrated programmes at nine Telangana universities including Osmania, Kakatiya, Telangana, Mahatma Gandhi, Palamuru, and Satavahana University. Kakatiya University is the organising university for the 2026 cycle on behalf of TGCHE. The test covers over 40 subjects; admissions are for the 2026–27 academic year.

The TG CPGET 2026 application form opened on May 15, 2026. The deadline to apply without a late fee is June 10, 2026 — only three days away. The exam is computer-based (CBT), with 100 MCQ questions in 90 minutes, and is tentatively scheduled for the first week of July 2026. All applications are accepted only at cpget.tgche.ac.in — no offline forms are accepted.

TG CPGET (OUCET) Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

Registration peaked at 78,305 in 2021 and has trended downward to 62,806 in 2025 — a roughly 20% decline over five years, which reflects growing competition from CUET PG and expanding private PG admission routes. Attendance has held steady between 87–90%, indicating that students who register do follow through with the exam. For 2026, registrations are expected to stabilise in the 60,000–65,000 range given the continuing enrollment trend.

TG CPGET (OUCET) 2026 Eligibility Criteria (Before You Apply)

Verify your eligibility before you begin the application. TGCHE rejects ineligible applications, and the fee is non-refundable in those cases.

• Educational qualification: You must hold a Bachelor’s degree in the relevant subject from a UGC-recognised university. Students in their final year are eligible to apply, provided their results are available before the admission process begins.
• Minimum marks: General and OBC students need at least 40% marks in graduation. SC/ST students need only a pass — no minimum percentage applies.
• Age limit: There is no age limit for TG CPGET 2026.
• Nationality: Indian nationals can apply. Foreign nationals and NRIs may apply under the NRI/Foreign Nationals quota as notified by individual universities.
• Domicile: Students from any state can apply. Telangana local and non-local status is applied at the counselling stage by individual universities and does not affect your eligibility to sit the exam.

Note: Degrees obtained through open/distance learning from unrecognised institutions and single-subject degrees do NOT satisfy TG CPGET eligibility. Verify that your graduation degree is from a UGC-recognised university before submitting your application — a rejected application does not attract a fee refund.
