TG ICET 2026: Key Dates and Timeline
With the new deadline in place, it’s essential to keep track of the entire schedule to avoid any last-minute issues. After the registration window closes, the authorities will open a correction window from April 18 to April 24, allowing applicants to edit specific details in their forms. Following this, the TG ICET 2026 hall tickets will be made available for download from May 4 onwards. The entrance exam itself will be conducted across two days, May 13 and 14, in two separate shifts: 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
Eligibility and Exam Pattern Explained
To be eligible for TG ICET 2026, candidates must hold a three-year bachelor’s degree. General category students need a minimum of 50% aggregate marks, while the requirement is relaxed to 45% for SC, ST, and OBC candidates. The exam is a 150-minute Computer-Based Test (CBT) featuring 200 multiple-choice questions. The test is divided into three sections: Analytical Ability (75 questions), Mathematical Ability (75 questions), and Communication Ability (50 questions). A key advantage for test-takers is the marking scheme—each correct answer fetches one mark, and there is no negative marking for incorrect or unanswered questions.
