Nearly three-fourths of seats at the Government Engineering College, Kosgi remained unfilled after the second phase of TG EAPCET 2026 counselling. Telangana Today reports 73.8% of 214 seats are vacant — about 158 seats — as of July 23, 2026. The college offers CSE, CSE (AI & ML) and CSE (Data Science).
This is the third consecutive year of weak admissions. In its first intake in 2024–25, only 84 of 198 seats were filled (57.6% vacant). In 2025–26, the vacancy rose to 71.8% after final phase counselling, per earlier reports.
The engineering college began in 2024–25 “as per” Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s directions, in the Kodangal constituency he represents. Telangana Today, citing unnamed sources, says the college has required faculty with doctorates but lacks dedicated buildings and lab infrastructure, and that a proposed 11.2-acre campus and an alternative “education hub” plan at Hakimpeta are both yet to materialise. These claims are attributed to sources; no named official has put a timeline on facilities or explained the delay.
Statewide, more than 11,600 engineering seats were vacant across Telangana last year, indicating a broader admissions problem beyond one campus.
The Technical Education department and the Chief Minister’s Office have not publicly responded to the latest Kosgi figures or the status of the proposed infrastructure.
