Stalemate Continues

Hyderabad: Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments could not come to an agreement on the contentious issue of conducting Eamcet, even after the intervention of Governor ESL Narasimhan. Sources said that Telangana Education Minister G Jagadish Reddy reiterated that Eamcet-15 will be conducted by his government and if needed TS Higher Education Council (TSCHE) will extend help.

He explained the stance of TS government on Eamcet and legal authenticity of it to the Governor. Prior to the meeting with the Governor, Reddy held a meeting to decide the dates for CETs including Eamcet with TSCHE. Meanwhile, earlier in the day, Andhra Pradesh HRD Minister G Srinivas Rao conducted a review meeting with APSCHE chairman L Venugopal Reddy, Law Secretary Narayana Reddy and others. AP government has decided to go to the court on the GO 32 issued by Telangana government which stated to conduct CETs and extended support to the AP if needed.

After taking a legal advice, he called upon Governor and explained the AP government’s point of view on Eamcet and other CETs. With both the governments sticking to their respective stands upon holding the crucial test separately, the issue may land in courts. The controversy over the conduct of Eamcet has attained prominence ever since the APSCHE has announced the schedule for various common entrance tests including Eamcet.
