Vardhaman College of Engineering (VCE) follows a well-structured and transparent admission process for its undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The college ensures prospective students have a clear understanding of how to apply, what entrance exams are accepted, selection criteria, important admission timelines, and documentation requirements. This streamlined admission process aims to select meritorious and eligible candidates while maintaining accessibility and fairness.
Admissions to Vardhaman College of Engineering are primarily conducted through an online application process facilitated by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) through the TS EAMCET, TS PGECET, and TS ICET portals. Candidates aspiring to join B.E./B.Tech programs must apply and appear for the TS EAMCET entrance exam, while M.E./M.Tech applicants need to qualify through GATE or TS PGECET exams. For the MBA program, TS ICET scores are considered.
Applicants can register, fill application forms, and make fee payments online via the official counselling portals. After successful completion of entrance exams and result announcements, candidates must participate in centralized online counselling conducted by TSCHE, where they register, fill their college and course preferences, and undergo seat allotment. On final selection, candidates report to Vardhaman College with original documents for admission confirmation.
There is typically no offline application process directly at the college for regular admissions; all processes are managed electronically, ensuring transparency and ease of access for applicants from all regions.
TS EAMCET:Â Mandatory for admission to UG engineering courses. It is a state-level computer-based test assessing knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
GATE and TS PGECET:Â Accepted for PG engineering admissions. GATE is a national-level exam, while TS PGECET is state-level.
TS ICET:Â Required for admission to the MBA program at Vardhaman College.
Candidates need to meet the minimum qualifying marks in these exams to become eligible for counselling and allotment.
The selection of candidates for VCE is merit-based, primarily dependent on the merit rank obtained in the respective entrance examinations: TS EAMCET for UG, GATE/TS PGECET for PG engineering, and TS ICET for management. During counselling, candidates provide their preferences of courses and colleges, and seats are allotted on the basis of rank, availability of seats, reservation policies, and preferences.
In addition to entrance exam scores, candidates must satisfy eligibility criteria including minimum aggregate marks in qualifying exams (e.g., 45% in 10+2 for UG admissions). Reservation norms of the Telangana government for SC/ST/OBC and other categories are duly followed. For PG admissions, work experience may be given weightage during interview rounds if applicable.

TS EAMCET Exam Date:Â May (Usually first or second week)
