Failure in EAMCET may not be an impediment for engg. aspirants

Officials to put the suggestion before Chief Minister

After declaring all the students in Intermediate second-year pass without examinations, the government is contemplating to make all of them eligible for engineering admissions irrespective of their performance in the EAMCET to be conducted in August. Since the EAMCET or some kind of entrance test is mandatory to decide the merit for admissions into professional courses, officials are also looking into the option of reducing the qualifying marks to lessen the burden on the students. Officials are considering these ideas given the disturbed academic year with literally no physical classes held during the entire year though online classes were held. The decision would not affect the chances of any students in the order of merit or other wise as the admissions into engineering and other professional courses are based on merit in the entrance test both open and reserved categories.
