    Free seats in the Polytechnic generally mean seats at college, whose tuition fees are covered under the Government-aided support, fee reimbursement, or a scholarship-type provision. Candidates will be required to obtain higher marks to be eligible for the free seats. For the TS Polytechnic exam, a marks range of 105 to 120 out of the total 120 marks is required for free seats. However, it doesn’t indicate that there are no fees at all. The free seats scheme will only cover a significant portion of the tuition fees, making it a more affordable option for students.
