- Your EAMCET rank
- Category (OC/BC/SC/ST)
- Local status
- Web option preferences
- Seat availability
There are three main rounds plus a special (spot) round for leftover seats .

💳 3. Registration & Fee Payment
Step-by-step:
- Visit the counselling portal and log in with your EAPCET hall ticket & DOB.
- Confirm your details. If there are mistakes, fix them online before submission .
- Pay the fee:
- OC/BC: ₹1,200
- SC/ST/PH: ₹600
- Record the payment receipt—essential for verification.
✔️ Tip: Use this receipt to book your Verification slot (time + helpline centre).
📄 4. Certificate Verification
After payment:
- Slot booking — Pick your date, time, helpline centre (HLC).
- Verification mode:
- Auto: If records match (SSC, Inter)
- Manual: Visit HLC with original documents if not auto-verified
Documents required:
- EAMCET Hall Ticket, Rank Card, SSC & Intermediate Memo
- Caste, Income/EWS, Nativity certificates
- Aadhar, Study Certificates, TC, Passport-size photos
Only verified candidates can entry web options.
🧩 5. Web Option Entry
This is the heart of the process:
- Log in and access “Option Entry” form.
- Add college + branch combos in priority order (your dream to backup).
- Use move-up/down buttons; review your list before submission.
- Save and Lock before deadline; otherwise, lower-priority seat may be allotted ,
✔️ Pro Tip: Mix high-demand and safe options. If they don’t lock, seat allocation uses your list.
🎛️ 6. Seat Allotment
Once options are locked, TSCHE’s algorithm assigns seats based on rank, category, local status, and availability. You’ll receive a Provisional Allotment Letter if successfully matched.
After allotment, you have two choices:
- Accept and report to the college (self-reporting via portal + in-person)
- Skip and wait for the next round for possible upgrade
🏫 7. Self-Reporting & College Reporting
✔️ Self-report: Confirm the seat online
✔️ College-report: Visit the allotted college with:
- Provisional Allotment Letter
- Originals + Copies of all certificates
- Fee payment receipt
Failure to self or college-report results in loss of seat.
🔁 8. Rounds 2 & 3 + Spot Round
- Round 2: For leftover/vacated seats. Fresh option entry required.
- Round 3: Final main round, last chance before spot round.
- Spot Round: Institutional, for leftover seats, after final round
✔️ Note: Main rounds usually allow fee waiver for candidates already registered.
📈 9. Seats & Closing Rank Trends
- Closing ranks generally move 20–30% higher each round.
- E.g., an OC closing CSE rank of 1,500 could become ~2,000–2,300 in round 2, and ~2,500–3,000 in round 3.
- Category benefit:
- OBC adds ~2k
- SC/ST adds ~7–12k buffer
Strategy: pick dream seats early, but lock safe seats ideally by round 3.
🧭 10. Category-Wise Tips
| Category | Relaxation Margin | Strategy Tip |
|---|---|---|
| OC | None | Apply as-is |
| OBC | +2,000 | Improves chances for dream seats |
| SC/ST | +7–12k | Allows broader seat access |
✔️ Use reservation wisely—if OBC rank is 6k, equivalent OC seat may be at 8k–10k mark.
