Hyderabad: The Telangana Intermediate Board has proposed a ₹100 increase in the annual Inter exam fee for Intermediate students, ahead of the 2026 board exams. Officials have submitted this proposal to the state government, which will determine whether the hike is implemented.
Currently, the examination fee stands at ₹520 for Humanities and ₹750 for Science streams. If approved, the revised fees would reflect the ₹100 increment accordingly. The board cited operational costs and logistical requirements as the basis for the proposal.
