Students seeking admission to the Telangana Open School Society’s Intermediate programme have received additional time to complete their applications. TOSS has extended the deadline for payment of the One-Time Registration fee, submission of the online application and payment of the admission fee without a fine until August 15, 2026.
The extension applies to students applying for TOSS SSC and Intermediate Science and Non-Science courses for the 2026–27 academic session. Intermediate first-year applicants who have not yet completed registration should use the extended window to submit their forms and pay the prescribed fees.
Candidates must remember that this announcement relates specifically to Telangana Open School Society admissions. It should not be confused with the admission schedule for regular Intermediate junior colleges affiliated with the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education.

Who Can Apply for TOSS Intermediate Admission?
Applicants must fulfil the eligibility requirements prescribed by the Telangana Open School Society.
A candidate should be at least 15 years old as of August 31 in the year of admission. TOSS does not prescribe an upper age limit, making the programme suitable for school dropouts, working learners and students who could not continue through the regular education system.
Applicants must also have passed the SSC, Class 10 or an equivalent examination from a board recognised by the Council of Boards of School Education in India. The candidate’s original matriculation or secondary examination certificate should contain a valid record of their date of birth. Students who completed SSC outside Telangana may be required to provide proof of residence in Telangana.
Candidates planning to select a Science combination should carefully check the subject requirements. The TOSS prospectus states that students seeking an Intermediate Science combination should have studied the relevant Mathematics, Science and language subjects at the SSC level.
Courses and Subject Combinations Offered
TOSS provides Science and Non-Science Intermediate options, allowing students to choose subjects according to their academic interests and higher-education plans.
Commonly offered combinations include:
- MPC: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
- BiPC: Biology, Physics and Chemistry
- CEC: Commerce, Economics and Political Science
- HEC: History, Economics and Political Science
- MEC: Mathematics, Economics and Commerce
- Other combinations involving Home Science, Psychology, Sociology, Geography or Mass Communication
English is a compulsory Group A language for all Intermediate learners. TOSS offers courses in Telugu, English, Urdu and Hindi media. Students must select their group and subjects carefully because changes may not ordinarily be permitted after the admission has been confirmed.
Students planning to pursue engineering, medicine, agriculture, degree or professional programmes should ensure that their chosen TOSS subjects meet the eligibility conditions of the course or university they intend to join.

Documents Required for TOSS Intermediate Admission
Applicants should keep the following documents ready:
- Aadhaar card
- Active mobile number
- SSC or Class 10 marks memo
- SSC pass certificate
- Date-of-birth certificate or matriculation certificate
- Recent passport-size colour photograph
- Candidate’s signature
- Residence certificate, wherever applicable
- Integrated caste certificate for eligible categories
- Disability or SADAREM certificate, where applicable
- Ex-servicemen certificate, where applicable
- Printed online application and payment receipt
The prospectus requires applicants to submit the printed application and supporting documents to the coordinator of the selected Accredited Institution or study centre. Original documents are checked during verification and returned after scrutiny, while photocopies are retained for official records.
TOSS Intermediate Admission Fee 2026
The prescribed Intermediate registration fee is ₹300 for all categories.
For up to five subjects, the admission fee is:
- ₹1,500 for general-category male candidates
- ₹1,200 for SC, ST, BC, minority, ex-servicemen, differently-abled and transgender applicants, as well as women of all categories
- ₹300 per subject for an additional subject
The prospectus states that an additional late fee of ₹200 may be charged during the notified late-fee period. Therefore, students should complete their applications by August 15 to avoid paying a fine. Fee concessions are subject to the submission and verification of valid supporting certificates.
Online Submission Does Not Automatically Confirm Admission
Paying the fee and submitting the application online does not by itself guarantee admission. Candidates must submit the printed application and supporting documents to the selected TOSS Accredited Institution.
The documents will first be verified by the AI coordinator and then examined by the district-level admission committee. Admission is confirmed only after the candidate’s eligibility and documents have been approved. Applications containing incorrect information, unclear photographs, mismatched dates of birth or insufficient documents may be rejected.
Students should ensure that their name, parents’ names, date of birth and other details exactly match their SSC and Aadhaar records. They should also retain copies of the OTR receipt, application form and fee-payment receipt.
Why the Deadline Extension Is Important
The August 15 extension gives students who missed the earlier application period another opportunity to continue their education through the open schooling system. It is particularly useful for working students, school dropouts, learners with family responsibilities and candidates who require a flexible mode of education.
However, applicants should not wait until the final day. Payment failures, OTP delays, document-upload problems or incorrect information could prevent an application from being submitted successfully. Candidates are advised to complete registration well before August 15 and regularly check the official TOSS portal for further instructions.
