What is TS POLYCET?
TS POLYCET stands for Telangana State Polytechnic Common Entrance Test. It is also known as TG POLYCET. The State Board of Technical Education and Training (SBTET), Hyderabad, conducts this exam every year. It is the official gateway to diploma engineering and technology programs in polytechnic colleges across Telangana.
The exam tests candidates on Class 10 (SSC) level Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. More than 1 lakh students typically appear for TS POLYCET each year. Seats are offered in disciplines like Computer Science, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and more.
In 2025-26, there were 115 polytechnic colleges in Telangana — 59 government and 56 private — with a total intake of around 30,102 seats. Telangana Today also reported that the state is adding 10 new diploma programs in government polytechnics from the 2026-27 academic year, which may increase the seat count further in 2027.

TS POLYCET 2027 Cutoff
The TS POLYCET cutoff is the closing rank at which the last seat is filled in a particular branch at a specific college. SBTET releases the cutoff after each counselling round. The 2027 cutoffs will be announced after the counselling process concludes. Until then, you can use the 2026 data to plan your college choices.
Qualifying Cutoff (Minimum Marks to Qualify)
| Category | Qualifying Marks | Out of |
|---|---|---|
| General / OBC | 36 marks (30%) | 120 |
| SC / ST | No minimum (just appear) | — |
Expected Closing Ranks for Top Government Polytechnic Colleges (Based on 2026 Trends)
| College | Branch | Approximate Closing Rank (General) — 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Government Polytechnic, Masab Tank, Hyderabad | CSE | Below 2,500 |
| Government Polytechnic, Masab Tank, Hyderabad | ECE | Below 2,500 |
| Government Polytechnic, Warangal | CSE | Below 2,500 |

The above figures are based on 2026 trends and estimates. Official 2027 cutoffs will be published on polycet.sbtet.telangana.gov.in after each counselling round.
The difficulty of the exam, the number of candidates, and the total seats available all affect the cutoff. In recent years, demand for government polytechnic CSE seats has been very high. Telangana Today reported that government polytechnic colleges continue to see "huge demand" — with top institutions filling up early in Phase 1 counselling.
TS POLYCET 2027 Counselling Process
TS POLYCET counselling is conducted online by SBTET after the result is declared. The counselling process decides which college and branch you will get based on your rank, category, and your preferences. For 2027, counselling is expected to start in June 2027.
Counselling Registration Fee
| Category | Counselling Registration Fee (Expected) |
|---|---|
| General / OBC / BC | Rs. 600 |

SBTET may revise the number and sequence of counselling rounds for 2027. The above is based on 2026 pattern. Check tgpolycet.nic.in for the official 2027 counselling schedule.
Documents Required for Certificate Verification
- TS POLYCET 2027 rank card (printed)
- SSC (Class 10) marks memo (original)
- SSC (Class 10) pass certificate
- Aadhaar card
- Transfer Certificate (TC) from your school
- Conduct Certificate
- Study Certificate (Class 4 to 10, if studying in Telangana)
- Caste certificate (for SC/ST/BC/EWS candidates)
- Income certificate (if applicable)
- Residence certificate (if applicable)
- 4 passport-size photographs
TS POLYCET 2027 Seat Allotment
SBTET runs seat allotment in multiple phases after the counselling option entry. The seat allotment is done purely on the basis of your rank, category, and the preferences you entered during web option entry. Higher rank holders get priority.
How Seat Allotment Works
- You enter up to a maximum number of college-branch combinations as preferences during web option entry.
- SBTET’s allotment algorithm matches your rank to available seats in the order of your preferences.
- If your preferred college is full, the next preference is considered.
- After Phase 1 allotment, you can accept the seat, upgrade to a better option in Phase 2, or exit.
- In the internal sliding round, you can move to a better branch within the same college (if available).
- Remaining seats after all rounds are filled through spot admissions.
Seat Reservation Matrix
| Category | Reservation Percentage |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 15% |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 6% |
| Backward Classes (BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, BC-E) | 29% (combined) |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 10% |
| Physically Handicapped (PH) | 3% (horizontal) |
| NCC / Sports / CAP | As per state norms |
| Non-Local Candidates | Up to 15% (in institutions other than home district) |
| Open / General Category | Remaining seats |
In 2025-26, only about 64% of total seats were filled across all polytechnic colleges. This means you can still get admission through spot rounds or even after Phase 1. Do not lose hope if you do not get your preferred college in the first round.
Top Colleges Accepting TS POLYCET Score
There are 115 polytechnic colleges in Telangana that accept TS POLYCET scores — 59 government and 56 private (as of 2025-26). Government colleges are in higher demand because of lower fees and better infrastructure. Here are some of the top government polytechnic colleges you can target.

TS POLYCET 2027 Preparation Tips
TS POLYCET tests you on Class 10 topics. If you study your SSC books well and practice enough questions, you can score above 90 marks — which is needed for the top government college seats. Here are the most effective preparation tips:
Start with Mathematics — It Has the Most Marks
- Mathematics carries 60 marks — half of the total. You cannot afford to ignore it.
- Focus on Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, and Statistics — these chapters typically carry more questions.
- Practice at least 20-30 problems daily from NCERT and TS State Board Class 10 textbooks.
- Speed and accuracy matter. Time yourself when solving mock tests.
Use Telangana State Board Class 10 Textbooks
- The syllabus is directly from the TS SSC (Class 10) curriculum. Your state board textbooks are the most important source.
- Read every concept from the textbook first. Then move to solved examples and exercises.
- NCERT books can be used as supplementary material, especially for Physics and Chemistry.
Solve Previous Year Papers
- Solving the last 5-7 years of TS POLYCET question papers is one of the best strategies.
- You will see repeated topics and understand the type of questions asked.
- Previous year papers also help you manage time better during the actual exam.
Take Subject-wise Mock Tests
- Take at least 2 mock tests per week in the last 2 months before the exam.
- Analyse your mock test results. Find which topics are weak and revise them.
- Try to complete all 120 questions in under 2 hours — this gives you 30 minutes for review.
No Negative Marking — Attempt All Questions
- Since there is no negative marking, you should attempt every question.
- If you are unsure about an answer, use elimination to shortlist 2 options and pick the most logical one.
- Never leave a question blank — a random guess can still earn you 1 mark.
Revision Plan for the Last 30 Days
- Spend the last month only on revision and mock tests — no new topics.
- Make short notes for formulas, chemical equations, and key concepts.
- Revise high-weightage chapters: Quadratic Equations, Trigonometry, Acids and Bases, Electricity.
