Hyderabad: On Wednesday, around 44,683 students were given seats in the special category phase-1 of the Degree Online Services, Telangana (DOST).
In this special phase, a total of 44,683 candidates were allotted seats. Out of these, 38,760 candidates received their first choice. However, about 5,923 candidates did not get a seat due to their limited options. In total, 46,538 candidates participated in the web options process.
Officials from the Telangana State Council of Higher Education stated that candidates who are allotted seats will receive an SMS on their registered mobile numbers. They can also check their seat allotment details using their candidate login ID on the DOST website.
Candidates who secured a seat in this special phase need to reserve their seat through online self-reporting from August 8–9. This can be done by paying Rs 500 or Rs 1,000 (as applicable) using their DOST candidate login.
Students who have been provisionally allotted seats in government degree colleges or university colleges and are eligible for the ePASS fee reimbursement do not need to pay any amount to reserve their seats. This depends on their caste and income certificate verifications.
Both online self-reporting candidates and those who self-reported online during the special phase must report to their respective allotted colleges by August 9. They need to submit all required documents. If a candidate fails to report to the college, they will lose their allotted seat and will need to self-report again, according to a senior officer.
