New rules make it tough for admission for even toppers of Engineering Agricultural and Medical Co

A student who tops EAMCET (Engineering Agricultural and Medical Common Test) may still not be eligible for admission at the first phase if he fails to pass the intermediate annual exam at the first go, officials said in Hyderabad.

In fact, candidates who take supplementary examination to clear any backlogs will be eligible for seats in the second counselling rounds only, with the new rules in place.

This move comes after the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) fixed deadlines for giving out entrance exam results and admission.

According to the new rules laid down by AICTE, all entrance test results would have to be released by June 5 and the first round of counseling completed in the same month. It also says the 2013 academic year must begin on August 1.

Until now, government was announcing EAMCET ranks after considering advanced supplementary results, which is released in June end or July first week. Last year the supplementary exam results came out in although EAMCET was conducted in May.

The new AICTE norms are all based on a Supreme Court ruling and experts say similar guidelines were also in place regarding the medical admissions by the MCI, which specifies that medical admission is not exceeded beyond September 30 and admissions made after that are not approved.
