Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) has extended the application deadline for BSc (Hons) Agriculture and other degree programmes to August 13, 2026, for the 2026-27 academic year. The Hans India reports that Vice Chancellor Aldas Janaiah announced the move on July 30, advising Telangana EAPCET-2026 qualified candidates to apply online. The university is offering 360 additional BSc (Hons) Agriculture seats this year, with 120 seats each at new constituent colleges in Kodangal, Huzurnagar, and Dichpally. Janaiah also noted that PJTSAU has improved its national ranking from 37th to 19th and is introducing new courses such as Artificial Intelligence and Digital Agriculture.

Some may see the deadline extension as a sign of waning interest in agriculture degrees. But the addition of 360 seats across three new colleges suggests growing demand and institutional confidence. The university's jump from 37th to 19th rank also points to improving quality. The real test will be whether these new seats attract enough applicants by August 13, and if the new campuses can match the standards of the main university.
