HYDERABAD: After going through the grind called EAMCET, tension continues to haunt candidates with the rank cards nowhere in sight even as the last date for sending the applications for medical courses is fast approaching.

Parents and students are doing the rounds of the EAMCET Convenor's office and the courier service that is supposed to deliver the rank cards.

Hundreds of people approaching either officials at JNTU in Kukatpally or the private courier service centre.

And the eager parents are not just from the city but from places as far as Kurnool, Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Adilabad.

What is worrying the parents is the last date set for submitting applications for medical and related courses to NTR University of Health Sciences.

Applications have to be sent along with photo copies of the original rank cards before July 6 or students lose an opportunity to appear for counselling.

"The officials should have ensured early despatch of cards rather than giving us nightmares," says, Venkat Rao, relative of a girl student residing in Nalgonda district.

Officials say that they had engaged a courier service to ensure smooth and timely despatch. "They have been despatched a week back and students would receive them in a couple of days," says an official.

But parents say the private operator doesn't have the men and machinery to deliver them to small towns and villages.

`No proper replies'

When some parents approached the courier service office to know the status of delivery they didn't get satisfactory answers.

Parents and students have also alleged that officials at JNTU gave them curt replies when they sought information about the cards.
