Drop in EAPCET takers due to quota changes, availability of exam centres
Hyderabad: Whether due to the abolishment of a 15% quota for non-local candidates or more candidates opting for other exams, the number of candidates appearing for EAPCET this year dropped by about 44,000 compared to 2024. While 207,190 candidates appeared for the engineering stream this year, last year as many as 240,618 took the test. In the agriculture and pharmacy stream, 81,198 appeared this year, as compared to 91,633 last year."Last year, about 55,000 students from Andhra Pradesh appeared for TG EAPCET. This year, we abolished the quota for non-local candidates, and many from AP gave EAPCET a miss," said V Balakista Reddy, chairman, Telangana Council of Higher Education, on whose behalf EAPCET is conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH).Apart from the abolishment of the quota, experts pointed out that not having exam centres in AP is also a reason for the reduction in the number of applicants. "Generally, we have centres in cities like Vijayawada, which is preferred by AP students. This year, however, there were no centres in AP. This too has resulted in fewer students appearing for EAPCET," said T Srinivas, dean, Kavuri Hills zone, Sri Chaitanya Group.A few also pointed out that many are opting for other exams, as many private universities have emerged lately. "There are many top private universities or deemed institutes that conduct their own entrance examinations. Many are opting for these exams and are mentally prepared to join them. So, they don't see the need to write EAPCET," said M Manzoor Hussain, former registrar, added that quite a few students and their parents are particular about the course and college, deciding not to write EAPCET as they are either going to take a management seat or study in an engineering college outside Telangana.
