TG EAPCET 2025: Mock Allotment Exercise Finds 5900 Engineering Seats that Remain Open
The Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (TG EAPCET) 2025 is the most desirable entrance test by the students who intend to study undergraduate engineering and other professional courses in the state of Telangana. This move was initiated by Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) in the admission process by carrying out a mock allotment exercise of seats in engineering studies which is a practice followed to provide the students with an idea of their position in the process of allotment of seats.
Mock seat allotment in TG EAPCET engineering Undergraduate admissions was held on Saturday which is the first time had been done in the history of TG EAPCET and the candidates got far reaching insights which would help them make an informed choice. The exercise that was done during the first phase web-based counselling of the academic year 2025-26 disclosed that only 5,900 out of the total 12000 engineering seats could be filled during the mock allotment round.
This detailed report expounds further on the importance of the mock allotment, its procedure, results and implications of the same to candidates in future.
What is TG EAPCET and Why is it Important?
TG EAPCET, previously referred to as TS EAMCET (Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture & Medical Common Entrance Test) is a state level entrance examination administered by the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Hyderabad, on behalf of TSCHE. It is an entry point to thousands of students who want to pursue different professional courses in engineering, agriculture, and pharmacy streams which are offered in universities and private colleges in Telangana.
The number of students who attempt the exam each year is so humongous and all the students are hoping to land in their college and branch of choice. The TG EAPCET marks are very important in eligibility and seat allocation besides other parameters like category, sex and reservation factors.
Introduction of Mock Seat Allotment in 2025
TSCHE took a great leap in promoting transparency and the convenience of candidates by conducting the mock allotment exercise, the first instance of the same, in 2025. This is already a norm in other various states as well as counselling processes being held at the national level such as JEE Main, NEET UG counselling.
The main aim behind conducting a mock allotment is to provide an average notion to the candidates regarding the seat he may obtain according to the options filled by the candidate, his ranks, category and the seat matrix of the available seats. It serves as a sort of a model before final seat allocation and students can evaluate their own preferences, change preferences and increase the likelihood of obtaining a desired seat.
TG EAPCET 2025 Mock Allotment: Key Statistics
The mock allotment exercise for TG EAPCET 2025 was conducted on Saturday, where a total of 94,059 candidates had exercised their web options for 83,054 engineering seats available across 172 engineering colleges in Telangana.
Here’s a breakdown of the numbers:
- Total number of candidates who exercised web options: 94,059
- Total number of engineering seats available: 83,054
- Seats allotted in mock allotment: 77,154
- Seats remaining vacant after mock allotment: 5,900
- Number of candidates without allotment: 16,905
These figures indicate that 5,900 engineering seats were still up for grabs after the initial mock allotment round, signaling opportunities for candidates to make revised and smarter choices in the subsequent rounds.
Why Some Seats Remained Vacant
While a substantial number of candidates received provisional mock allotments, 5,900 seats remained unfilled. This outcome can be attributed to several factors:
1. Restricted Web specialized skills: Up to 16,905 of the candidates were not allotted a seat due to the fact that they had fewer web options. The candidates are generally recommended to cast as many options as they can presumably have better luck in securing a seat.
2. Trilling Competitive Preferences: Most candidates prefer to choose certain popular courses such as Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, and Information technology in best ranking colleges so there is much demand in particular colleges and other available courses are left empty.
3. Rank and Reservation Dynamics: The progression of details like category (BC, SC, ST, EWS, etc.), gender and non-local / local position affects allotment result. This is due to the fact that some candidates might have not got a seat owing to the fact that the option they have chosen have been taken by a candidate with a higher ranking in their same category.
4. College and Branch preferences: There are a few vacant engineering seats in lower colleges or lesser preferred branches of engineering and that is because candidates would want to go to the best colleges and join the most sought after courses.
Options for Candidates after Mock Allotment
The mock allotment is a strategic checkpoint for candidates. Those who received an allotment but are unsatisfied, or those without a seat, now have the opportunity to modify their web options.
Key Dates for Option Modification:
- Mock allotment results available on: July 13, 2025
- Web option modification window: July 14 & 15, 2025
- Provisional seat allotment result: On or before July 18, 2025
During this period, candidates can review the mock allotment data — which includes college-wise and branch-wise allotment details — and rethink their preferences.
They can:
- Add more options to increase their chances of securing a seat.
- Reorder their existing preferences based on the mock allotment results.
- Remove less preferred choices to focus on viable options.

Why Mock Allotment is Crucial for Candidates
The mock allotment exercise is a significant feature in the counselling process for several reasons:
- Informed Decision-making: The candidates also get a fair idea of what college and branch his or her can get and therefore can modify his or her options prior to the allotment finally.
- Calms the mind: The procedure relieves the tension and the anxiety that candidates tend to have through the provision of an indication of the probable outcome of the admission process.
- Aids in the Efficiency of Seat Allotment: Now that the options have been reviewed and well calculated in the Shadow allotment, it is expected that the last round of allotment will give a better seat distribution along with more contented face value among the candidates.
- Maximizes Seat Use: Students who are ready to explore alternative branches/colleges can be targeted to fill up vacant seats asserted during mock allotment to maximize the use of the available seats.
Advice for Candidates Moving Forward
Candidates need to utilize the mock allotment knowledge to the best to have the best preparations when the provisional seat allotment is announced on the 18th of July. The following are what they should concentrate on:
1. Go through the Mock Allotment Result: See exactly what is going on and what opportunity was lost.
2. Fill Max Web Options: The greater the decisions you make, the more will the possibility of securing a seat. Do not limit yourself to a couple of colleges/branches.
3. Stay Open-Minded: You can be choosy in the selection of branches and colleges where you intend to get the best. But it is prudent that you look into other options provided you have a fair shot at it.
4. On the Official Schedule: Be regular in modifying options and procedures involved in the rest of the counselling process deadlines.
