TS EAMCET 2026 Registration Gains Pace as Students Finalise Engineering Preferences

The TS EAMCET 2026 registration process is seeing a high volume of applicants as the April 4 deadline for engineering streams approaches.

As of today, February 24, 2026, the TS EAMCET 2026 registration window is seeing a steady rise in the number of applicants. Since the portal opened on February 19, students across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have been busy filling out their details for the Engineering, Agriculture, and Pharmacy common entrance tests. Many students are spending this week carefully choosing their Preferences for exam centers and engineering branches. This year, the exam has been renamed as TG EAPCET, but it remains the most critical test for any student wishing to join a top engineering college in the state.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Hyderabad, which is managing the exam on behalf of the state council, has reported that the system is running smoothly. Unlike last year, more students are opting for specialized branches like Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. Because the Registration process is entirely online, students are advised to check their internet connection before making the fee payment. The board has also reminded students that they have until April 4 to apply without paying any extra late fees.
