What Is Telangana Open School Society?
Telangana Open School Society provides an alternative educational opportunity for people who could not continue their studies through the regular school system.
It is particularly useful for school dropouts, working people, rural learners, women, persons with disabilities and others who want to complete SSC or Intermediate through a flexible learning system.
However, open schooling still requires regular effort. Learners must attend the prescribed Personal Contact Programmes, submit Tutor-Marked Assignments and appear for the public examinations.
Eligibility for TOSS SSC Admission 2026–27
Applicants seeking admission into the SSC course should satisfy the following basic conditions:
- The applicant must have completed 14 years of age as of 31 August 2026.
- There is no upper age limit.
- No minimum formal educational qualification is prescribed.
- A learner who has not attended school may submit a self-declaration stating that they have sufficient knowledge and ability to study the Class 10 course.
- Applicants who previously studied in a school must produce their Transfer Certificate or school record.
Candidates must verify the complete eligibility conditions in the official prospectus before applying.
Eligibility for TOSS Intermediate Admission 2026–27
Applicants seeking admission into the Intermediate course should fulfil these requirements:
- The applicant must have completed 15 years of age as of 31 August 2026.
- There is no upper age limit.
- The candidate must have passed SSC or an equivalent examination from a recognised board.
- Candidates who passed SSC from another state or country may have to submit proof of residence in Telangana.
- Applicants should select their subject group carefully according to their future higher-education plans.
Learners interested in science combinations should confirm that the selected Accredited Institution is authorised to offer the relevant science subjects.
Mediums and Courses Available
TOSS offers SSC and Intermediate courses in different mediums, including:
- Telugu
- English
- Urdu
- Hindi
At the Intermediate level, English is a compulsory subject. Available subject combinations may include MPC, BiPC, CEC, HEC, MEC and other combinations listed in the official prospectus.
Students should not select a group simply because it appears easier. They should first check the subjects required for the degree, professional course or career they intend to pursue later.
Documents Required for TOSS Admission
Applicants should keep the following documents ready before beginning the online application:
- Aadhaar number and an active mobile number

Applicants must ensure that names, parents’ names and date of birth exactly match their supporting documents.
