TS DOST Special Drive Cut Off 2026: Subject-Wise Marks Out

The Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) has published the subject-wise cut-off marks for the TS DOST (Degree Online Services Telangana) Special Drive 2026. Students who participated in the special round of admissions can now check the released cut-offs to understand the minimum marks required for allotment across various undergraduate degree programmes in Telangana's government and aided colleges.

What Is TS DOST Special Drive?

TS DOST is the centralised online platform through which admissions to conventional undergraduate degree courses — such as BA, B.Com, B.Sc, and BBA — are conducted across Telangana. The Special Drive is an additional round held after the main admission phases to fill remaining vacant seats in participating colleges.

Subject-Wise Cut-Off Overview

The cut-off marks vary depending on the subject combination, college category, and the applicant's social category. Students are advised to visit the official TS DOST portal to view the detailed subject-wise and college-wise cut-off list. The general trend observed is that popular science and commerce combinations tend to attract higher cut-offs compared to arts streams.

• Cut-off marks differ across government, aided, and private unaided colleges.
• Category-wise cut-offs are available for SC, ST, BC, EWS, and General candidates.
• Subject combinations such as MPC, BiPC, CEC, and HEC have individual cut-off thresholds.
• Students who did not secure a seat in earlier phases should compare their inter marks against the released cut-offs before applying in any subsequent rounds.
