Results are available online for 10 days through the DGE Telangana website. Students who have passed will be awarded an SSC Pass Certificate mentioning both internal and external marks alongside grades for co-curricular activities.

A few results have been temporarily withheld due to missing data from schools or valuation centres. These are expected to be cleared soon. The department also reminded that children with special needs continue to receive concessions introduced in 2022 under GO 27.

Following the release of SSC Advanced supplementary results, Telangana Board of Intermediate Education (TGBIE) has announced the Phase -2 admission schedule for first year Intermediate courses up to July 31, with no further extension.

Principals of all colleges offering the two-year course were directed to admit eligible students until the last date. The board urged parents and students to ensure admissions taken only in affiliated colleges by checking the recognized institutions on official websites at acadtgbie.cgg.gov.in and tgbie.cgg.gov.in.

A delegation from the Telangana Recognised School Managements Association (TRSMA) met with senior education department officials on Thursday to present their inputs on the draft Bill proposing fee regulation in private schools and junior colleges. The association reiterated its earlier concerns and suggestions regarding the Bill’s implementation framework and financial impact on budget schools.

In their formal representation submitted last month, TRSMA had requested the government to permit annual fee revisions based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus a five per cent margin. They argued that this model, used in states such as Rajasthan and Gujarat, would reduce bureaucratic delays and allow institutions to meet rising operational expenses without breaching fairness. Any revision above the suggested threshold, they said, should still be routed through the Fee Regulatory Committee (FRC) for clearance.

The association had suggested that fee slabs be determined across four academic stages like pre-primary, primary, upper primary, and high school, based on curriculum and co-curricular offerings at each level. Representatives said this structure would better match fee expectations to the kind of education provided, particularly for budget private schools that serve a large section of middle- and lower-income families.

Though no formal commitments were made, education department officials took note of the submissions placed on record. TRSMA office-bearers said they were hopeful that their inputs would help develop a more balanced bill that supports both student welfare and school sustainability.
