Eamcet Schedule Very Soon

Metro news / hyderabad : Amidst a raging controversy, the State government on Monday said that the Telangana State Higher Education Council would release the schedule for EAMCET and other common entrance tests soon. As expected, EAMCET would be conducted by the TS council and if AP students want seats in Telangana, they would have to appear in the test conducted by TS council. The admission procedure after the results, however, would remain the same as in past.

Putting to rest apprehensions among students and parents, Education Minister G Jagadish Reddy said that the decision of Telangana government was conveyed to Governor E S L Narasimhan and the issue was later discussed extensively with Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. He said, “The Telangana government is very much authorized to hold these tests on its own as per the A P Reorganization Act.” He appealed to the students not to panic. He, however, said that even at this juncture if the A P government comes forward seeking the help of TS, “Our council will conduct test for students of AP along with Telangana.”

He reiterated that the stance of state government was repeatedly put forth before the Governor several times and the dates would be finalized in a day. He said that the ten districts of Telangana do not come under the jurisdiction of the AP Council and hence it was not authorized to conduct the test. Meanwhile, G Jagadish Reddy on Monday released the newly designed logo of Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education at the board office.

The logo contains the Kakatiya Arch representing the state of Telangana encircled with leaves emerging from the book in the bottom, representing the educational growth. The open book represents learning and the rising Sun represents the enlightenment of students with knowledge. The floral design around the logo represents the state festival Batukamma. The pink color represents friendship and prosperity.
