Hyderabad: The TS Council for Higher Education stated on Wed-nesday that the Eamcet medical entrance this year will only partly be online. A cap of 25,000 has been put on the online test on a first-come-first-served basis. Once the limit is reached, the other candidates will have to give the test offline.
The authorities had initially planned to conduct the test online. Logistical problems coupled with the likely rise in the number of candidates prompted them to play safe and go for the dual mode of exam.The online test will be conducted at selected centres, mostly engineering colleges that are equipped with computers and Inter-net facilities, in Hyderabad and Warangal. Both tests will be held on May 2.
A new option, to select online or offline, will be included in the registration link of the Eamcet website, officials said after their meeting.
Within the first 10 days of online registrations, nearly 24,000 candidates applied for the medical stream, while for engineering it was below 19,000, a trend seen during previous years.
