TS EAMCET 2026 Phase 1 seat allotment was released on July 10, 2026 — students not allotted a seat can participate in Phase 2 counselling starting July 17, 2026, with allotment expected by July 22.
Phase 2 opens fresh opportunities across Telangana engineering colleges, with seats vacated by students who did not report after Phase 1 or who upgraded to a better option. Based on 2025 trends, Phase 2 closing ranks shift upward by 3,000 to 10,000 ranks compared to Phase 1, bringing popular colleges and branches within reach of students ranked lower. The official counselling portal is eamcet.tsche.ac.in.
- Phase 2 counselling starts July 17, 2026 — register and submit fresh option entries on the official portal.
- Phase 2 seat allotment is expected by July 22, 2026 based on the schedule released by TSCHE.
- Students who received a Phase 1 seat can still participate in Phase 2 to attempt an upgrade to a preferred college or branch.
- Students who did not participate in Phase 1 can register fresh for Phase 2 — document verification is mandatory before option entry.
- A Spot Round is expected from August 16, 2026 for seats remaining unfilled after Phase 2.

Steps to Take After Phase 1 Non-Allotment
Not receiving a seat in Phase 1 does not end your TS EAMCET 2026 counselling journey. TSCHE conducts multiple phases of allotment, and seats vacated through non-reporting or upgrades after Phase 1 become available in Phase 2. Here is what you should do right now:
- Visit eamcet.tsche.ac.in from July 17, 2026 onwards to access the Phase 2 registration link and begin the process.
- Complete document verification: Students who missed Phase 1 must complete fresh document verification before Phase 2 option entry closes.
- Revise your option entries: Phase 2 allows you to add or reorder college and branch preferences — expand your list to mid-tier and district colleges to improve allotment chances.
- Consider branch flexibility: Branches like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and EEE at reputed Hyderabad colleges consistently have Phase 2 vacancies at higher closing ranks than CSE or ECE.
- Report to your allotted college on time: Once allotted in Phase 2, pay the seat acceptance fee and self-report within the deadline announced at eamcet.tsche.ac.in to secure your seat.
You will lose your Phase 1 seat only if you accept a new allotment in Phase 2 — if Phase 2 does not return a new allotment or you choose not to accept it, your original Phase 1 seat remains valid.

Expected Phase 2 Cutoffs for Top Telangana Engineering Colleges
The table below shows expected Phase 2 closing ranks for popular Hyderabad engineering colleges in the CSE branch for the Open Category (OC). These are projected estimates based on 2025 Phase 2 data — actual 2026 cutoffs will vary by seat availability and applicant count.
| College | Branch | Phase 1 Approx. Closing Rank 2025 (OC) | Expected Phase 2 Closing Rank 2026 (OC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| JNTU Hyderabad (Autonomous) | CSE | ~1,200 | ~2,500–4,000 |
| CBIT Hyderabad | CSE | ~5,000 | ~8,000–12,000 |
| VNR VJIET | CSE | ~7,500 | ~12,000–17,000 |
| Vasavi College of Engineering | CSE | ~11,000 | ~16,000–22,000 |
| MVSR Engineering College | CSE | ~14,000 | ~20,000–26,000 |
| Chaitanya Bharathi IT | CSE | ~18,000 | ~24,000–32,000 |
| Gokaraju Rangaraju IT | ECE | ~22,000 | ~29,000–38,000 |
| SR Engineering College | CSE | ~30,000 | ~39,000–50,000 |
Phase 2 closing ranks are typically 3,000 to 10,000 ranks higher than Phase 1 at the same college and branch, based on 2025 trends. The gap is narrower at top government colleges where few seats go unreported and wider at mid-tier and district colleges with larger Phase 2 vacancy pools.
Colleges and Branches Likely Open After Phase 1
Several categories of colleges and branches consistently carry unfilled seats into Phase 2. Students with ranks beyond 40,000 should focus their option entries on these:
- Government colleges outside Hyderabad: Colleges in Warangal, Karimnagar, and Nizamabad districts carry Phase 2 vacancies in Mechanical, Civil, EEE, and Mining Engineering.
- Newer private colleges: Colleges established in the last 5–7 years frequently have open seats across CSE, IT, and ECE in Phase 2 and may offer merit scholarships to attract students.
- Minority-quota seats: Muslim and Christian minority-category seats at private colleges in Hyderabad often remain open into Phase 2 and beyond.
- Female-quota seats: Unreserved female-quota seats at co-educational colleges go unfilled in Phase 1 regularly and are among the easiest seats to secure in Phase 2.
- Specialist branches: Bio-Technology, Mining Engineering, Metallurgy, and Chemical Engineering at reputed colleges have significantly higher Phase 2 closing ranks than CSE and are accessible to students ranked between 30,000 and 60,000.
| Region | Branches with Expected Phase 2 Seats | Typical Closing Rank Range (OC) |
|---|---|---|
| Hyderabad (Top Private) | ECE, EEE, Mechanical | 20,000–45,000 |
| Hyderabad (Mid-Tier Private) | CSE, IT, Civil | 35,000–65,000 |
| Warangal District | Mechanical, Civil, Mining, EEE | 25,000–70,000 |
| Karimnagar and Nizamabad | CSE, ECE, Civil, Mechanical | 40,000–85,000 |
| Khammam and Nalgonda | All branches | 50,000–1,00,000+ |
