The number of registrations are expected to go up further as the last date for submitting applications with a late fee of Rs.5,000 ends on Tuesday (late night). Candidates can download their hall tickets from the website https://eamcet.tsche.ac.in/.
Speaking to a press conference here on Tuesday, Telangana State Council of Higher Education Chairman (TSCHE) Prof. R Limbadri attributed the increase in EAMCET 2023 applications to a rise in the number of intermediate admissions during the last two academic years.
He also cited that the addition of BSc Nursing admissions through the EAMCET was also one of the reasons behind the surge in registrations besides the “craze” for engineering courses, particularly the booming computer science and engineering.
The EAMCET 2023 is scheduled to be held from May 10 to 14 with AM test on May 10 and 11 and the engineering exam on May 12, 13 and 14. Given the record number of registrations, 26 additional centres have been added with a total being 113 for AM and 137 for the engineering test. As the test will be held in computer-based mode, all the centres were technically audited.
According to Prof. Limbadri, as against the regular practice of flying squads, this time, the sitting squad will be deployed in each of the centres to monitor the conduct of the CETs. Except for the Chief Superintendent (CS) and observer, no official on the examination work will be allowed to carry a mobile phone inside the centre.
The TSCHE Chairman said efforts were being made to hold TS EdCET, ECET, LAWCET & PGLCET in a single day with multiple sessions instead of multiple days.
