The Phase 1 seat allotment results will be released on August 16, with candidates required to report to their allotted colleges between August 17 and 20.

Admissions through the TS EDCET counselling will be determined based on several factors, including the candidates' ranks, the reservation policy, their college preferences, and the availability of seats in participating institutions. This year, the competition is particularly intense, with approximately 96.95% of qualified candidates registering for the counselling process, underscoring the high demand for B.Ed programs in the state.
