If you didn’t secure an MBA or MCA seat during the normal TS ICET counselling rounds, you have another chance of get admitted. The Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) has officially launched the spot admissions portal for filling up the vacant seats in various private unaided or university colleges that are participating in it. The institutional round forms the last door for all the candidates who wish to start off with their post-graduate management or computer application education this academic year.
It is essential to be very careful about the schedule, eligibility criteria, and other verifications for the spot admissions process. As the selection takes place based on merit at the institution itself, it becomes essential to prepare oneself with all the necessary documents and fees beforehand. Given below is the procedure, eligibility criteria, fees, and list of documents required for the spot admissions process.
