The Telangana EAPCET 2025 notification, originally scheduled to start accepting applications on February 25, has been postponed to March 1, 2025. EAPCET convenor Prof. Deen Kumar and Co-convenor Prof. Vijay Kumar Reddy announced the news. The notification from the official website reads, "The commencement of submission of online applications for TG EAPCET-2025 is postponed to 01-03-2025 (Saturday) instead of Tuesday 25-02-2025(Tuesday). The detailed notification and instruction booklet for TG-EAPCET 2025 will be available from 01-03-2025 onwards."
According to the reports, the delay is due to pending government orders (GO) related to local and non-local quota regulations. The Telangana government is yet to provide clarity on local and non-local admission criteria. As it's been 10 years since the bifurcation, the Telangana government is advised to remove the non-local quota and prioritize admissions to local students.
The non-local quota in Telangana engineering colleges is currently at 15%. It remains to be seen if there will be a change to this number. There is currently confusion that's arising out of this. While officials suggest that non-locals may still be eligible, the lack of clarity from the government could lead to admission issues post-exam.
It's expected that the Telangana government to finalize a decision by releasing a GO outlining local quota regulations.
