FAQs on Management Quota B.Tech Admissions

Do I need to qualify EAPCET to get a Category-B seat?

No, you do not need an EAPCET rank to secure a Category-B seat, provided you have at least 45% (40% for reserved categories) in your class 12 group subjects. However, candidates with valid JEE Main or EAPCET ranks will be given higher preference in the merit list.

Are Category-B students eligible for government Fee Reimbursement?

No, students admitted under Category-B (Management Quota) or NRI quota are not eligible for the Telangana government's Fee Reimbursement (RTF/MTF) scheme. The full fee must be paid by the student directly.

When does the Management Quota application start?

Colleges usually start inviting online applications for Category-B seats after the release of intermediate results and the first phase of EAPCET counselling. Notifications are published in major newspapers and on respective college websites.
