  • No change in EAMCET syllabus this year.

    HYDERABAD: With the Eamcet-2011 scheduled for May 8, the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) vice-chancellor DN Reddy has written a letter to the education department to give an exemption in the eligibility criteria for engineering courses.

    As per the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) norms, a minimum of 50 percent score in (mathematics, physics and chemistry) in the Intermediate exams is essential for eligibility to engineering courses.

    “We have written a letter to the AICTE officials in this regard and requested them to exempt the minimum eligibility criteria for engineering students. We are awaiting the decision and will abide by the AICTE decision on the issue,” the vice-chancellor said.

    JNTU examination committee has decided to set up cell phone ‘jammers’ along with manual frisking being introduced for the medical examination. Eamcet will be conducted in 606 centres for engineering candidates and in 104 centres for medical students across the state.

    “There is no change in the syllabus of the examination this year and the SMS facility will continue this year as well. While we will be taking help from the state revenue department and other universities to conduct the examination, additional examination centres will be set up this year based on the applications received,” said convenor for Eamcet-2011, Dr. NV Ramana Rao.

    Meanwhile, grading of engineering colleges across the state is underway and the grading will be announced within the next two weeks, said principal secretary for higher education, CR Biswal.

    However, the forms can also be obtained from the convener’s office from April 9 to May 5 with payment of late fee. This year, Eamcet is scheduled to be held on May 8.

    Telephone jammers will be introduced this year at the centres for medical entrance examination. This, officials said, will be done in coordination with the state police and revenue department to prevent irregularities. Last year, extensive use of bluetooth devices was reported at several medical entrance test centres.

    “We will ensure that the sensitive centres of Kurnool, Kadapa and Tirupati are closely monitored. Security will be tight and police will guard these centres in mufti,” said D N Reddy, vice-chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru Technical University (JNTU).

    With the syllabus for this year’s Eamcet remaining unchanged, officials said that they have made representations to the AICTE chairman to stick to the schedule announced for starting classes. The qualifying marks this year too stands at 25 per cent.

    While candidates can submit applications with a late fine of Rs 5,000 till April 25, those submitting it by May 5 have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000.

    Candidates submitting their forms with late fees (either with Rs 5,000 or Rs 10,000) will have to appear for the Eamcet only at centres in twin cities, unlike previous years.
