EAMCET: reach on time or waste a year

APSRTC to provide special bus service

HYDERABAD: Despite year-long preparations, the dream of making into an engineering or medical college cannot translate into reality if the candidates reach the venue late even by five minutes what with EAMCET authorities being very strict with the entry time.

Reaching the examination venue half-an-hour before the scheduled time should be the most important aspect of the candidate's preparation for the examination day scheduled on May 4, say the officials.

The APSRTC will be providing special bus service.

EAMCET-2007 Convenor E. Saibaba Reddy told The Hindu that the test would be conducted in 551 centres for the 1,87,239 candidates registered for the engineering stream and 94,416 candidates registered for the medical stream.

The engineering examination is scheduled at 10 a.m. and the medical stream at 2.30 p.m.

Candidates would be allowed to enter the exam hall 30 minutes before the test time and under no circumstances they can get in after the scheduled time.

Prof. Reddy said the OMR sheets would also have photographs, hall-ticket numbers and names of the candidates.

In case of any defect, candidates can ask for replacement within five minutes of the commencement of the test. Any correction in name, father's name or local status can be done on the nominal rolls available with the invigilator and those changes would reflect in the rank cards.

Five per cent blank OMR sheets are being sent to each centre to be used in case of emergency.

Photographs

If candidates get hall-tickets without photographs, they need to take two photographs to the respective Regional Coordinators on May 3 for the duplicate hall-tickets, which have to be handed over to the invigilator or else their papers would not be valued.

Pencils would be supplied to the candidates in the examination hall itself.
