These test zones will not reflect during the fresh registration and students from these areas have to choose their nearest test zone or have to appear in Hyderabad.

In addition to four Hyderabad zones, Warangal, Sathupally and Khammam zones, the A&P test registrations are accepted in Karimnagar zone, where a few slots are available.
