176 Colleges to Participate, New Universities Join This Year
This year’s counselling will include:
- 156 private engineering colleges
- 19 government university colleges
- New entries: Engineering programs from Palamuru, Satavahana, and Kothagudem Health Sciences University
While two private colleges have applied for closure, the entry of new universities means seat availability is expected to increase slightly. Last year, 89,970 seats were available under the convenor quota.
The complete list of participating colleges and available seats will be uploaded online by July 6, according to officials.
No Fee Hike This Year, Confirms Council
Despite ongoing discussions, the government has not approved any fee hike for engineering courses this year.
“The fees fixed in 2022 will continue for the current academic year,” confirmed Prof. Balakishta Reddy, Chairman of the Higher Education Council.
The government is expected to constitute a committee to review and revise fee structures in the future, but for now, students will pay the same fees as in the 2022–23 academic year.
Mock Counselling Introduced for the First Time
In a significant step towards improving transparency and preparation, the Telangana Higher Education Council will conduct mock counselling, similar to the JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) model used for national-level engineering admissions.
This will help students better understand their college and branch options before the actual seat allocation begins.
