The Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) has released the fresh schedule for the conduct of its entrance tests into professional courses after they were postponed due to court cases and COVID-19 related issues.

As per the fresh schedule, the engineering stream exam of the EAMCET will be held on September 9, 10, 11 and 14 for which 1,42,860 candidates have registered from both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The agriculture stream of the EAMCET will be held on September 28 and 29.
