Eamcet-2011 committee will meet for the first time on January 29 to finalise the schedule for issuing notification and to begin the sale of applications. Eamcet notification is likely to be issued on February 5.
The committee comprises representatives from 25 uni versities and the officials of higher and technical education departments. The issue of “hitech cheating” in the Eamcet last year using modern gadgets is likely to prominently figure in the meeting. The committee will examine various options like installing cellphone jammers at Eamcet centres to check hitech copying.
Eamcet will be conducted on May 8. The government has decided to conduct Eamcet on a Sunday like last year to save students from weekday traffic snarls.
The JNTU-Hyderabad will conduct the Eamcet for the 12th year in a row.
Prof D.N. Reddy, the Eamcet chairman, said the applications would be available in all Andhra Bank branches, e-seva centres and post offices.
