[edit] About

The EAMCET test is taken by a large number of Engineering and Medical aspirants in the state. Presently the JNTU located in Hyderabad conducts the examination. This is the entrance exam for Engineering and Medicine . In the year 2007 around 1.85 lakh(185,000) students gave a shot in the Engineering Stream and around 0.9 Lakh(90,000) in the Medical & Agricultural Stream. The best part of this exam is that the results are declared in a record time of 13 or 14 days every year making the counselling and admission process very smooth. EAMCET-2008 will be held on 08th May 2008 conducted by JNT University on behalf of APSCHE.

The format of the test had to be changed many times to make the test fair for all students. An expert committee constituted by the Educational Department of the state government decides how the test is conducted.

Of late, several institutions that train aspirants for the exam have mushroomed all over the state. The exorbitant fees charged by these institutions has raised concerns about education being unaffordable for many students.
