TS EAMCET 2026 tuition fee payment for seat confirmation is accepted through three modes — online payment (Net Banking, Debit/Credit Card, UPI), SBI Bank Challan, and Demand Draft (DD) — and students allotted seats must complete payment by the stipulated deadline to secure their admission.
After seat allotment in TS EAMCET 2026 counselling, Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) requires students to pay the tuition fee within the prescribed window to confirm the allotted seat. The payment window is expected to open around July 19, 2026 based on the counselling schedule. Not paying within the deadline leads to automatic cancellation of the seat, which is then transferred to subsequent rounds.
- Three accepted payment modes: Online (Net Banking/Card/UPI), SBI Bank Challan, and Demand Draft.
- The DD must be drawn in favour of "The Secretary, TSCHE" payable at Hyderabad.
- SBI Challan payment must be completed at an SBI branch within 24 hours of generating the challan online.
- Tuition fee amount varies by college type: Government, Aided, and Private Self-Financing colleges have different fee structures.
- SC/ST/BC/EWS students must pay the fee first and apply for fee reimbursement separately through the Telangana scholarship portal.

Why Tuition Fee Payment is Required for Seat Confirmation
Once TSCHE allots a seat through TS EAMCET 2026 counselling, the allotment is provisional. The seat becomes confirmed only after the student pays the tuition fee and submits required documents within the prescribed timeframe. Students who do not pay the fee by the deadline forfeit their allotted seat, and it is made available in subsequent counselling rounds.
Fee payment is mandatory for all seat types across government, aided, and private self-financing colleges — regardless of whether you choose the freeze or float option. The amount paid at this stage is adjusted against the total annual tuition fee charged by the allotted college.
TS EAMCET 2026 Accepted Tuition Fee Payment Modes
TSCHE accepts tuition fee payment for TS EAMCET 2026 seat confirmation through the following modes:
| Payment Mode | Sub-Modes Accepted | Where to Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Online Payment | Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card, UPI | Official TS EAMCET counselling portal (eamcet.tsche.ac.in) |
| SBI Bank Challan | Cash payment at SBI branch | Any SBI branch across India |
| Demand Draft (DD) | DD drawn on any nationalised or scheduled bank | Submitted at reporting centre or allotted college |
Online payment is the fastest mode as it reflects immediately on the portal and avoids a visit to a bank or reporting centre. Challan and DD modes are suitable for students without internet banking access.
How to Pay via SBI Bank Challan
Follow these steps to pay TS EAMCET 2026 tuition fee through the SBI Bank Challan mode:
- Log in to the official TS EAMCET counselling portal at eamcet.tsche.ac.in using your application number and password.
- Navigate to the Tuition Fee Payment section in your counselling dashboard.
- Select SBI Bank Challan as your payment mode.
- The portal generates a pre-filled challan with your application number, allotted college details, and fee amount — download and print it without modifying any details.
- Visit the nearest SBI branch and pay the exact amount printed on the challan in cash.
- Collect the SBI branch stamp and seal on your copy of the challan as payment proof.
- Return to the portal and enter the SBI Journal Number (transaction reference printed on the challan) to complete online acknowledgement.
The SBI Challan is valid for 24 hours from the time of generation. If it expires before you visit the bank, generate a fresh challan from the portal. Keep the bank-stamped challan copy safely as proof during document verification.
Demand Draft (DD) Details and Process
Students opting to pay tuition fee via Demand Draft must follow TSCHE’s exact specifications to avoid rejection at the reporting centre:
| DD Specification | Required Detail |
|---|---|
| Drawn in favour of | The Secretary, TSCHE |
| Payable at | Hyderabad |
| Issuing bank | Any nationalised or scheduled commercial bank |
| DD amount | Exact tuition fee amount as displayed on the official portal |
| Information on back of DD | Application number, Hall Ticket number, allotted college name (written in black ink) |
| Where to submit | Reporting centre or allotted college on document verification day |
Do not make the DD payable to any college name. Only DDs drawn in favour of "The Secretary, TSCHE" are accepted. A DD with the wrong beneficiary name will be rejected, and obtaining a replacement takes additional processing time that may cause you to miss the seat confirmation deadline.
Before submission, write your TS EAMCET application number, Hall Ticket number, full name, and allotted college name on the reverse side of the DD in black ink.
