The Eamcet committee had admitted to three errors last year and deleted them from valuation. This year, it has decided to refer the errors to experts, who will examine them and sub
mit a report within a week.
Eamcet convenor Prof N.V. Ramana Rao, said, “We will release the preliminary key on May 13 and seek objections, if any, on the initial key. Anyone can bring errors to our notice within a week. Subject experts will examine whether they were indeed erroneous and based on that, we will release the final key along with Eamcet results.” The date on which the results would be announced is yet to be finalised, he said.
For twenty minutes, it was terrible mental torture and agony not only for Gadde Lakshmi Swathi of Jegurupadu village in Kadiam mandal in East Godavari district, but also others appearing for Eamcet examination at PR College on Saturday.
Swathi’s leg got trapped in an iron grill on the college gate while she was entering the examination center and she could not pull it out. As the examination time was approaching, she panicked; so were the students around her, who thought she may not make it to the exam on time. The police were also informed. After much effort, the police and relatives of other students freed Gadde Lakshmi, by bending the iron grills with crowbars. She could move in to the examination hall just on time. In view of the incident, circle inspector Deva Kumar directed the college authorities to close the particular gate for pedestrians and that only vehicles should be allowed through the gate. Another gate of the college was opened for the students.
