Expected Qualifying Marks
TGCET 2026 counselling follows result declaration and involves certificate verification, sliding options, and seat allotment for selected candidates.

Principals at venue schools handle verification from 9 AM, following society norms (TSWREIS, TTWREIS, etc.) for leftover vacancies, including sliding for first-preference non-allottees and waitlisted candidates.
Key Steps
Download provisional allotment from tgcet.cgg.gov.in and attend scheduled verification.
Present originals for biometric capture and confirmation.
Pay fees post-verification; report to allotted school by deadline (typically early April).
Required Setup
TGCET 2026 counselling requires specific original documents for verification at district venues to confirm eligibility and finalize admissions.
Required Documents List
TGCET 2026 counselling fees are paid post-certificate verification, typically at the allotted Gurukul school or online via official portals.
Fee Structure
Payment Process
Download allotment order after verification.
Pay via demand draft (favouring school principal), online (net banking/UPI), or cash at reporting venue.
Deadline aligns with Phase 1/2 (late March to early April); non-payment leads to seat forfeiture.
Fees cover tuition, hostel, mess; scholarships available for eligible categories via TSWREIS/TTWREIS.
Result Analysis Strategies
Compare your rank/marks against category cutoffs (~30/120 for General) and merit lists to gauge selection probability.
Download rank card immediately; note subject-wise scores for weak areas if reattempting next year.
Counselling Preparation
Delaying Rank Card Download: Failing to save rank card/merit list immediately; portals may update or face glitches, blocking access later.
Incomplete Documents: Not preparing originals + Xerox sets (TC, caste certs) ahead, causing verification rejection at counselling venues.
Missing Deadlines: Ignoring SMS notifications for Phase 1 (March 25+); late arrivals forfeit seats despite shortlisting.
Wrong Fee Payment: Paying without allotment order or using incorrect mode (DD/cash required post-verification), leading to forfeiture.
