The Telangana Board of Intermediate Education suspended on Tuesday the admission schedule for the 2026–27 academic year that it had issued on Monday. The May 4 circular had set May 8 as the admission commencement date and June 1 as the start of classes for intermediate colleges across the state.

The board directed principals to adhere to the stated timeline before reversing course less than 48 hours later. It said the earlier circular was kept in abeyance after the release of “certain proposed reforms” affecting the academic calendar and admission process.

A fresh communication stated that revised instructions would be issued shortly without specifying a new schedule. The board did not provide details of the reforms or say whether the June 1 class-start target would be retained.

The board said it would notify colleges once the revised admission calendar is approved. No immediate date for the release of the new circular was given.
