TS ICET 2026 Counselling Process - Step by Step
- Basic registration: Visit tgicet.nic.in, select "Candidate Registration," and enter your TS ICET 2026 Hall Ticket Number, Registration Number, Date of Birth, and State Rank to create your counselling login.
- Processing fee payment: Pay the non-refundable counselling processing fee online via net banking, debit card, or credit card. A Counselling Login ID is sent to your registered mobile number after successful payment.
- Slot booking: Choose a Help Line Centre (HLC), preferred date, and time slot for physical document verification, then print the slot booking slip.
- Certificate verification: Report to the assigned HLC with original documents and two self-attested photocopy sets. On verification, you receive a stamped Receipt of Certificates (ROC) form.
- Web option entry: Log in and arrange your preferred colleges and courses in order of preference. Options can be exercised from home, an internet centre, or the HLC.
- Seat allotment: TGCHE releases the provisional seat allotment result based on rank, category, cutoff, and options exercised.
- Online self-reporting: If allotted a seat, pay the tuition fee online and complete self-reporting to confirm acceptance within the stated deadline.
- Physical reporting to college: Visit the allotted college with your original Transfer Certificate, printed Joining Report, and fee payment receipt to complete admission formalities.
Important Instructions
- Register and book your verification slot as early as possible once the counselling window opens, since slots fill quickly.
- Certificates without a booked slot receipt will not be accepted for verification at the Help Line Centre.
- If you skip online self-reporting after being allotted a seat, that allotment is automatically cancelled and the seat returns to the pool.
- Keep your income certificate dated on or after January 1, 2026, to avoid losing fee reimbursement eligibility.
- Always cross-check dates and fee amounts on tgicet.nic.in before making any payment.
