Telangana Inter Exams 2026 – Practical dates and JEE provisions
Theory examinations for the first-year (Junior Inter) cohort will begin on 25 February 2026 and run until 17 March 2026. Second-year (Senior Inter) theory papers start on 26 February and conclude on 18 March 2026. All theory papers are scheduled in a single morning shift from 9 am to 12 pm, with students taking one paper per day according to the published timetable.
The board has adjusted some dates to accommodate local festivals. Papers originally set for 3 March have been moved to 4 March 2026. Students are advised to consult the official PDF for any further revisions and to confirm the exact dates and subject codes.
Practical examinations will be held between 2 and 21 February 2026. The practical schedule includes Sundays and operates in two sessions: a morning session from 9 am to 12 noon and an afternoon session from 2 pm to 5 pm. English practical examinations are scheduled separately, with first-year English practicals on 21 January 2026 and second-year English practicals on 22 January 2026.
Importantly for aspirants of national engineering entrance tests, the board has clarified special provisions for students who face a clash between Intermediate practical exam dates and the JEE Main 2026 schedule. Those students will be allowed alternative arrangements so they can attend the JEE Main without jeopardising their practical assessment requirements. Candidates affected by such clashes should contact their colleges and the board promptly to obtain details of the alternative arrangements.
Hall tickets and exam instructions are available via the board’s timetable PDF and the official portal. Media reports have indicated that the board will issue hall tickets via WhatsApp as part of efforts to increase transparency and parental involvement. First-year students can preview their hall ticket by providing their SSC roll number and date of birth. Second-year students should use their first-year hall ticket number and date of birth to download the admission slip. The timetable PDF also lists reporting times, exam duration, subject codes and other important guidelines that candidates must follow on exam days.
Students and guardians should ensure they download and verify hall tickets well before exam dates, and keep in touch with college exam coordinators for any updates.
