Eamcet date clashes with AIEEE

Posted On: 11/01/2012      Updated On:
Both the aspirants and college authorities are of the view that the Eamcet should have been conducted sometime in the last week of May to avoid a clash of schedules. The Eamcet exam schedule announced by The Andhra Pradesh State Council for Higher Education, APSCHE, is set to spark row. The authorities stated that the date of the exam (May 12) was finalised in such a way that it would not clash with any other national entrance test. But it is going to be otherwise and the engineering aspirants would stand to lose.

Stakeholders concerned had expressed the opinion it would have been much better had this entrance exam been conducted sometime in the last week of May. The Eamcet examination date (May 12) will clash with the schedule of the All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) meant for admission into the prestigious National Institutes of Technology all over the country.AIEEE online tests were scheduled to be held at three centres in the state namely, Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam from May 7 to May 26. Every year almost 60,000 candidates appear for this test. The Eamcet date clashes with AIEEE scheduleis being an online test, everyday around 2,000 candidates in each centre are likely to appear for the test. Both the aspirants and college authorities are of the view that the Eamcet should have been conducted sometime in the last week of May to avoid a clash of schedules.

Since Eamcet exam date falls right in the middle of this schedule, around six thousand engineering aspirants from Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam scheduled to appear for AIEEE exam on May 12 would be in a big dilemma. They would have no option but to choose either AIEEE or Eamcet. The APSCHE is toying with the idea of introducing online application systems from this year. If this new system becomes a reality, there will be no sale of application forms in banks and post offices for the entrance examination scheduled for May 12.

In all probability, it could be curtains down for the most popular common entrance test, Eamcet conducted by the state, after this year. The Eamcet aspirants would have to login to the website and submit their applications online, APSCHE Chairman Prof. Jayaprakash Rao informed while announcing the schedule. This should not pose a problem to candidates in rural areas because thousands of candidates from rural background applied for VRO posts without any hitch, he quipped. But more clarity on this can be expected only in February first week when APSCHE issues Eamcet notification.Keeping in line with directions given by SHRC not to conduct the entrance exam on working days, the authorities have decided to conduct the test on second Saturday of May this year. The Eamcet will be replaced by the much debated National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to various medicine courses commencing from next year. Some state governments’ appeal to exempt those states for two years had been turned down by the Supreme Court. That order applies to students an AP as well.

The Union Human Resources Development Ministry had announced that plans were on to hold national level common entrance test for engineering aspirants on the lines of the NEET from next year. It would mean that there would not be any state level entrance for admission into engineering streams.Experts opine that the Eamcet could be held for one more time in 2013 if everything is not in place. But by all means the national level entrance would be the ultimate option before the aspirants by 2014.
