The Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) has started the counselling process for the Telangana Integrated Common Entrance Test (TS ICET) 2026. Candidates who passed the exam and seek admission to MBA and MCA programs at participating universities and colleges in Telangana can now book their slots for certificate verification. This crucial step runs from July 31 to August 5, 2026.
Understanding the TS ICET Counselling Process
TS ICET is an entrance exam for admission into MBA and MCA courses across Telangana. After results are announced, qualified candidates must undergo counselling to secure their seats. The counselling process involves registration, payment of a processing fee, certificate verification, and finally, web-based choice filling for seat allotment. Certificate verification confirms the authenticity of candidates' documents and eligibility for admission.
Only candidates who complete certificate verification successfully can participate in the seat selection process. This ensures that admissions are granted to eligible students based on merit and reservation policies.
Key Steps and Required Documents for Slot Booking
Booking a slot for certificate verification is mandatory. Candidates must first register for counselling and pay the processing fee. After that, they can log in to the official counselling portal to select a convenient date, time, and helpline center for document verification.
- TS ICET 2026 rank card
- TS ICET 2026 hall ticket
- Degree or provisional certificate
- Consolidated marks memo or mark sheets
- Class 10 and Class 12 certificates
- Transfer Certificate (TC)
- Aadhaar card or another valid photo ID
- Income certificate (if applicable)
- Caste certificate for reserved categories
- Residence or local status certificate (if applicable)

Why Timely Slot Booking and Verification Matter
Completing certificate verification on time is critical for candidates aiming to secure a seat in MBA or MCA programs. This step authenticates the candidate's eligibility and academic credentials. Without successful verification, candidates cannot proceed to the web options entry stage where they select preferred colleges and courses.
Delays or failure to attend the verification appointment can result in losing admission opportunities. Therefore, candidates should carefully follow instructions, keep all documents ready, and book their slots within the specified window to avoid complications.
