The Telangana State government has decided not to set up any examination centres in Andhra Pradesh State for EAMCET scheduled on May 14. Keeping in mind the larger interests of its students, the Andhra Pradesh government had asked the Telangana government to set up test centres in their region.
Prof T Papi Reddy of TSCHE informed that technically “it is not feasible to set up centers in the AP State at this moment.” An official of TSCHE said off-record that there were securities concerns for conducting the test in the neighbouring Telugu State. “Who will take responsibility for mass copying or high-tech copying that takes place in the examination centres? Some parts of AP are known for such cases earlier,” the official said.
The AP government picked up central schools for conducting the test in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, over 2.4 lakh candidates have registered for the Telangana EAMCET. The last date for applying for the test is April 9.
