TG PECET 2026: Complete Guide to Physical Education Admissions in Telangana

The TG PECET 2026 (Telangana Physical Education Common Entrance Test) is the specialized entrance process for candidates seeking admission into professional courses like B.P.Ed. (Bachelor of Physical Education) and U.G.D.Ed. (Under Graduate Diploma in Physical Education). Managed by Satavahana University, Karimnagar on behalf of the TGCHE, this test is distinct from other CETs as it focuses entirely on physical prowess rather than a written examination.

1. Official Exam Schedule & Registration

The PECET is conducted over several days to facilitate the field-based physical tests for all applicants.

2. Exam Pattern: No Written Test

Unlike other entrance exams, TG PECET does not have a written paper. The selection is based on 500 total marks distributed across physical and skill-based events.

3. Detailed Syllabus & Test Components

The evaluation is split into two major categories to assess overall athletic ability and specialized sports skills.

A. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) - 400 Marks

• Daily Routine: Focus on stamina building (long-distance running) and explosive power (sprints and jumps).

• Game Skill: Practice the chosen sport specifically to improve technical maneuvers (e.g., bowling in Cricket or smashing in Volleyball).

• Coaching: Many aspirants join local athletic clubs or sports academies for 2-3 months before the test.
