TS PGECET 2027 is due to be held in May-June 2027. It will be an online computer based test (CBT) of two hours duration with the question papers in English. The registration link is also expected to go live in Feb-Mar 2027 along with the notification.

The 2027 schedule hasn’t been released yet. All the dates and fees listed above are purely indicative based on the previous cycle and are subject to change. The final details will be confirmed on the official TG PGECET website.

TG PGECET (also known as TS PGECET) is the state-level entrance exam for postgraduate courses in Engineering, Technology, Pharmacy and Architecture in Telangana. Eligible GATE and GPAT candidates can also apply for admission through the relevant admission process. The rules relating to their admission and seat allocation will be different from those for candidates appearing in the TG PGECET.

What is the Telangana PGECET entrance test?

JNTUH conducts the Telangana Post Graduate Engineering Common Entrance Test (TGPGET) on behalf of the Telangana Government Council of Higher Education (TGCHE). It is the entrance test for admission to eligible postgraduate professional programmes at the various universities and colleges across Telangana that are part of the TGPGET.

Candidates wishing to join M.E., M.Tech., M.Pharm. and M.Arch. courses may appear for the relevant test paper subject to the course-specific eligibility criteria. Admissions to the Pharm.D. (Post Baccalaureate) course will be in accordance with the relevant admission rules.

The process is generally online registration, entrance exam, declaration of results, and then counselling. If you’re a GATE/GPAT candidate, you’ll need to check the official admission notification to see how your score is going to be used and whether you need to go through a separate process.

TS PGECET Eligibility 2027: Academic Requirements and Conditions

Eligibility is course-specific and will vary from university to university. Candidates should check the official course-specific eligibility document rather than assume that one qualification will be acceptable for all courses.

Eligibility for M.E. and M.Tech. Programmes

Applicants will generally be required to have a relevant undergraduate qualification (e.g. a B.E. or B. Tech.) or another qualification as accepted for the specialisation in question. Some courses will accept other qualifications where that is specified in the official rules.

Candidates in their final year of their qualifying degree may be eligible to apply (subject to the conditions set out in the notification). The required subject background and minimum marks will of course vary from course to course and institution to institution.

Eligibility for M.Arch. Courses

Candidates will generally be required to hold a recognised B.Arch. degree or another qualification which is specifically accepted for the architecture programme in question. Applicants are advised to check the eligibility requirements of the relevant university prior to selecting the examination paper.

Eligibility for M.Pharm. Admissions

A recognised B.Pharm. is generally a prerequisite for M.Pharm. programmes. GPAT-qualified candidates should check the official admission guidelines to see how their GPAT scores are treated and what registration is still required.

Minimum Marks and Other Conditions

Previous admission rules generally required a minimum of 50% for eligible engineering and pharmacy candidates and 45% for those from the specified reserved categories. The applicable conditions will of course vary depending on the course and the rules in force.

Candidates must also meet the relevant nationality and local/non-local status requirements. Final year students, those with equivalent qualifications, and those applying for category benefits should refer to the official 2027 notification for confirmation.
