Hyderabad: Navigating to the Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Pharmacy Common Entrance Test (TG EAPCET) 2025 exam centres has been made easy as the hall tickets will now feature QR codes that aid candidates to navigate to their respective centres.
All that students need to do is scan the Quick Response (QR) code printed on the hall tickets with a smartphone. Once scanned, a link opens in the Google Maps application that enables students to view their route map to their exam centres. In addition, they can ascertain how far is their centre and even the estimated time it will take to reach the venue, considering traffic.
Hall tickets for AM and engineering stream tests will be available for download on the website https://eapcet.tgche.ac.in from April 19 and 22 respectively. The entrance test for AM stream is scheduled for April 29 and 30, while the engineering test will be held from May 2 to 4. Both the tests will be conducted in two sessions – 9 am to 12 noon, and 3 pm to 6 pm.
The centres gates will be opened at 7.30 am for morning session test and 1.30 pm for afternoon session exam. No student will be allowed even if they are late by a minute.

JNTU-Hyderabad Rector and TG EAPCET 2025 co-convener Dr. K Vijaya Kumar Reddy said the pre-examination process, including frisking, capturing candidate’s biometric details, registration and allotment of the system, would take about 20 minutes.
“If students reach centre exactly at 9 am or 3 pm, they will be losing crucial 20 minutes. So, students must reach well in advance to complete this process,” Dr. Reddy said.

“The new SC categorisation reservation will be implemented in admissions for all programmes offered by higher education institutions in the State,” he said.
