The results of the Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (TG EAPCET) 2026 are tentatively scheduled to be declared around May 25–26, according to a senior official of JNTU Hyderabad, which conducted the examination on behalf of the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE).
The entrance test was held in two phases - the Agriculture & Pharmacy (A&P) stream on May 4 and 5, and the Engineering stream on May 9, 10, and 11 - across examination centres spread throughout Telangana.
Strong Turnout: Over 2.82 Lakh Students Appeared
The examination witnessed impressive participation across both streams:
- Engineering stream: 2,10,766 candidates registered; 1,97,241 appeared
- A&P stream: 90,977 candidates registered; 84,954 appeared
- Total appeared: Over 2,82,000 students across both streams
On the final day of the Engineering stream examination alone, more than 65,000 candidates appeared in a single day across two sessions - reflecting the scale and logistical complexity of the exercise.
District-wise Attendance: Nizamabad, Siddipet, and Nalgonda Lead
Zone-wise attendance figures from the Engineering stream reveal notable variations across the state. The forenoon session recorded 32,673 candidates present out of 35,092 registered - an attendance of 93.11%. The afternoon session saw 33,225 candidates present out of 35,518 registered, achieving 93.54% attendance.
