Decision Based on TAFRC Recommendations
The move comes following the recommendations made during the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) meeting held on 18th June 2025. In its report, the TAFRC observed that many fee proposals submitted by private colleges for the new block period (2025–28) did not align with the norms laid down by the Supreme Court and High Court.
In light of this, the Committee recommended that the existing fees (2022–25 block) be retained for the 2025–26 academic year while a committee of officers is appointed to study fee fixation models in other states and propose revised parameters.

The extended fee structure will apply to the following courses in private un-aided professional institutions across Telangana:
- B.E./B.Tech
- M.E./M.Tech
- B.Arch/M.Arch

What This Means for Students and Colleges
