The Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education (TSBIE) has announced the main dates for the TS Intermediate Public Examinations (IPE) 2026. This announcement is for both first-year and second-year students across Telangana. According to a recent press briefing by Intermediate Board Secretary S Krishna Aditya , the theory exams will be held from February 25 to March 18, 2026 . All exams will follow the traditional pen-and-paper method.
This early release of exam dates gives students a clear timeline for their preparations. Knowing the exam period well in advance helps students plan their study schedules effectively. All theory exams are scheduled to take place in a single session each day, starting from 9 AM and concluding at 12 Noon . Students must keep a close watch on the official website, tgbie.cgg.gov.in , for the detailed subject-wise timetable and other important updates.
Key Details of TS Inter Exams 2026
The Telangana Board will conduct the theory examinations for Class 11 (first-year) and Class 12 (second-year) students within this three-week window. While the overall period is fixed, the specific timetable showing which subject falls on what day is still awaited. This detailed schedule is expected to be released on the official website soon. Students should check the website regularly to download this timetable as soon as it becomes available. This will help them know their exact exam dates for each subject.
Practical Examinations for First and Second Year
Before the main theory exams, practical examinations will take place. These practical tests are expected to start in the first week of January 2026 . There is a significant change this year: for the first time, first-year students will also sit for external practical examinations. Previously, only second-year students had to appear for these external practicals.
This means first-year students need to prepare seriously for their practical assessments. Both first-year and second-year students should contact their colleges or check the official TSBIE website for the detailed practical exam schedule and guidelines. Understanding the practical exam format and preparing well is as important as studying for theory papers.
