Eamcet ranks to be out on July 20

HYDERABAD: Eamcet ranks will be declared only on July 20 and not on July 16 as announced earlier. The release of ranks will be delayed as the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) will be able to come out with their re-evaluation marks only on July 18.

Since 25 per cent weightage is given for Intermediate marks while calculating Eamcet ranks, JNTU authorities incharge of Eamcet 2010, decided to delay the release of ranks by four days.

"The board authorities had earlier informed Eamcet committee that they will be able to come out with the re-evaluation marks before July 15. Hence the tentative date of release of ranks was fixed as July 16. But since they extended their deadline, we too had to do the same," said D N Reddy, convener, Eamcet committee.

Meanwhile, the BIE authorities informed that they will need some time till July 18 to complete the valuation process as they received around 8,000 applications for re-evaluation due to allegations of flawed valuation of Intermediate Public Examination (IPE) answer scripts this year.

Meanwhile, JNTU authorities said that even if the BIE fails to deliver the results by July 18, they will have to declare the results on July 20 or 21 as medical counselling is scheduled to begin on July 26.
