Shocked by the attempt of some students to leak the Eamcet medical entrance question paper in Kadapa last month, the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, which conducts the test, has proposed to the government that it be allowed to hold the entrance test for medical seats for the entire state only in Hyderabad, on one day, and the engineering entrance test the next day.
“The setting of Eamcet question papers is fool-proof; the lacuna lies in the seating pattern. Also, the examiners are overburdened with engineering and medical entrance tests being conducted on the same day. So, we want to conduct the two tests on different days from the forthcoming academic year,” explained Prof D.N. Reddy, the Vice-Chancellor, JNTU-Hyderabad.
He admitted that “there are chances of a nexus in the districts between staff at the examination centres and students. As only 55,000 students appear for the medical entrance test in the state, we will request the government to conduct it in Hyderabad only.”
