JNTU-H Plans More TS EAMCET-2023 Centers

Hyderabad, April 18 (Maxim News): With a record number of applications received for the TS EAMCET-2023, the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) – Hyderabad is adding more test centers besides enhancing capacity at some centers.

Last year, engineering Agriculture and Medicine tests were conducted in 109 and 80 centers respectively in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. At least 20 new test centers will be added in addition to these existing centers.

According to a JNTU-Hyderabad official, the University is hunting for new centers in four Hyderabad zones as several engineering colleges are located here. In some centers where there is the availability of computers along with good broadband and buffer systems, the capacity is being increased to 1,000 and more, the official said.

“The engineering test is scheduled in six sessions and the AM test in four sessions. Although the applications have gone up, we will not be increasing the sessions as the test can neither be advanced nor postponed due to various other competitive exams lined up before and after the EAMCET, the official said.

As many as 3,16,848 students registered for the Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture, and Medical Common Entrance Test 2023, so far. Applications for the engineering stream have surged by over 30,500 with 2,02,815 candidates applying this year as against 1,72,238 last year. The number of registration for the AM stream has also shot up from 94,476 in 2022 to 1,13,671 so far.

The applications could further shoot up as the registration with a late fee is underway on the website https://eamcet.tsche.ac.in/. Students can online apply with a late fee of Rs. 500 up to April 20 and with a late fee of Rs. 2,500 and Rs. 5,000 up to April 25 and May 2 respectively.

Hall tickets can be downloaded from the website from April 30. The AM stream test is scheduled for May 10 and 11 and the engineering test is on May 12, 13, and 14, both tests will be conducted in morning and afternoon sessions.

This year, the EAMCET will be conducted covering 70 percent of the inter-first year and 100 percent of the inter-second year syllabus. This is to facilitate second-year intermediate students who had pursued 70 percent syllabus in their intermediate first year due to Covid- 19 pandemic.

Further, there will be no weightage to intermediate marks for calculating ranks in the EAMCET. However, students have to secure a minimum of 45 percent marks in intermediate to be eligible for admission into professional courses through the test. (Maxim News)
