Deputy Chief Minister Kadaim Srihari today stated that all arrangements for holding the EAMCET 2015 on May 14 were made and the students will be allowed to other centers if they failed to reach out to the original examination centers.

Addressing a press conference at Secretariat here, Srihari said that despite the ongoing strike of RTC workers, the government has taken necessary steps by pressing vehicles of educational institutions and police department. To avoid inconvenience due to the strike, the government has taken required steps to ensure that the students reach the centers in time, he said.

Vehicles arranged: Papi Reddy
In a related development, TSPHE chairman Papi Reddy, Eamcet 2015 convenor Prof Ramana Rao said that the students should try to reach the exam centers on time. Rao said that students will not be allowed to enter the examination centres even if they arrive late by even a minute. Candidates should reach the centers half an hour before the scheduled time. They also said the officials at the centers were asked to allow the students to appear for the exam even if they make it to other centers. The parents should avoid confusion as the government pressed adequate number of vehicles to shift the students to the exam centers. This arrangement was also made in districts and towns also, they said.
