Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on Tuesday urged the Centre to initiate both interim and long term measures to ensure that students from AP are not put to undue disadvantage in national level tests including IIT-JEE.
In this regard, the CM has written to Union HRD minister M.sM. Pallam Raju. Ironically, the state government has made two important suggestions to the Centre which contradict its own practices being followed for Eamcet tests.
The CM suggested that there should be no weightage to marks secured in class XII and admission should be based on the entrance test only. Whereas the state gives 25 per cent weightage to class XII marks in Eamcet.
He also requested the Centre to take into consideration the marks obtained by all the students who appeared for intermediate examination, irrespective of the streams, in all subjects to arrive at the top 20 percentile at the national level.
This is also contradictory to the state’s policy of taking into consideration the marks obtained by students in group subjects like maths, physics and chemistry for engineering and biology, physics and chemistry for medicine.
The CM said that the revised admission pattern of JEE has caused considerable grief to thousands of bright students of AP. He directed the higher education principal secretary to take immediate steps to get a stay order from the HC against admissions to B category seats vacated.
