# PJTSAU extends degree admission deadline to Aug 13 2026-08-21T11:51:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) has extended the application deadline for BSc (Hons) Agriculture and other degree programmes for the 2026-27 academic year to August 13. The announcement was made on July 30 by Vice Chancellor Aldas Janaiah, who urged Telangana EAPCET-2026 qualified candidates to apply online via the official university website. The university has added 360 additional BSc (Hons) Agriculture seats this year. These seats will be distributed across three newly established constituent colleges in Kodangal, Huzurnagar, and Dichpally, with 120 seats each. The university also plans to introduce new courses such as Artificial Intelligence and Digital Agriculture into the curriculum. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 360 additional seats address the growing demand for agricultural education in Telangana, where the sector employs over half the workforce. The three new colleges are located in underserved rural districts, potentially improving access for students from farming families. PJTSAU's jump from 37th to 19th in national rankings reflects its investment in technology, a move that may help attract more applicants. The next key date is August 13, when the extended deadline closes. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com Straight factual reporting on the deadline extension and seat increase, with no framing or commentary.
