Hyderabad: The Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (TG EAPCET) engineering mock allotment on Saturday left 8,740 students without seats, while the same number of seats remained vacant. These students could not be allotted a seat as they exercised a limited number of web options.
The mock seat allotment details released by the Technical Education department reveal that 88,062 students exercised web options for seat allotment from among 88,053 seats in 175 colleges. As many as 79,313 seats were allotted, leaving 8,740 vacant.
Mock allotment is based on the options exercised by the candidates participating in the mock round. The first phase allotment of seats may vary from mock allotment depending on the priority of choices exercised by the candidates in the first phase i.e. after mock allotment of seats, said A Sridevasena, TG EAPCET 2026 admissions convener and Commissioner of Technical Education.
Candidates can modify their web options from July 5 to 7 so as to consider options for the first phase provisional allotment. They have been advised to exercise as many options as possible so as to get allotment in a better college and course.
If the candidate does not change the options given for mock allotment, the same options will be considered for the first phase provisional allotment, which will be released on or before July 10, she added.
