Documents Required for Registration
Before logging onto eapcet.tgche.ac.in on February 19, ensure you have the following:
- Intermediate Hall Ticket Number (or 10+2 equivalent).
- Date of Birth Certificate (SSC Memo).
- Local Status Details (to determine OU/AU/SVU/Non-local eligibility).
- Caste Certificate (for fee relaxation and reservation).
