For conducting exoplanet observations and related scientific feasibility studies, the 80 cm Xizang University Telescope(XZUT) is equipped with two interchangeable CCD cameras, with models of Proline PL and FLI Proline, respectively. Observations of three exoplanet candidate targets released by TESS were conducted in this paper using XZUT and the 80 cm Telescope at Xinglong Observatory Base (Tsinghua-NAOC Telescope, TNT) during the telescope's initial operation phase. The data processing results show a significant transit signal in the light curve of the target TOI3646.01, with a magnitude of 14.164±0.103 in the V-band. The differential photometric precision of the light curve obtained by XZUT in the full-band with single-frame exposures of 70 s was found to be 0.0032 mag, while the one obtained by TNT in the V-band under the same exposure time is approximately 0.0054 mag Parameters such as orbital period, transit depth, and radius ratio of the target are obtained using Periodic fitting analysis, showing an excellent consistency with TESS data. In addition, the standard star field of Landolt was observed using XZUT, and its photometric precision in the B and V bands was derived to be about 0.02 mag by matching with established catalogs. These results indicate that XZUT has the capability of high-precision photometric observation, which provides a technical reference for future time-domain astronomical studies based on the telescope.
