Students will be allotted seats on the basis of merit. Students will have to confirm seats by self reporting and paying the fees and if they don’t confirm, the seat will be carried forward to the second phase of registrations. Earlier , the Phase 1 registration was scheduled to begin from 1 July. Candidates will have to pay one-time registration fees of Rs 200 for all colleges or courses of one or more universities. The registration for Phase 1 will be available from 24 August to 9 September. Phase 1 web options will be open from 29 August to 8 September. Registration for Phase 2 will require a fee of Rs 400 and will begin from 17 September. The registration fee for the third phase will also be Rs 400.

The TSCHE will announce the date for commencement of classes at a later date. Here’s the official notification of DOST. Students can finalise the procedure by paying the required fees on the official DOST portal. The council has taken steps to follow all COVID-19 protocols. A real-time digital face recognition system, or the T App Folio, has been created. According to a report by The New Indian Express, this will facilitate the verification of a student’s identity without the invigilator actually having to sign on a sheet, thereby minimising human contact.
