TS #Eamcet2021 exam may be postponed by a month parents & teachers against holding JEE in February. The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) might be held from February 2021, but the Telangana Engineering Agricultural and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET), which is generally held in May, will likely be postponed by at least a month. The #Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) officials said that depending on inter board examinations, the Telenagana EAMCET examination date will be decided after taking suggestions of Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education officials. “It is too early to say anything about the EAMCET. Once the intermediate board announces inter examination syllabus and dates, we will decide on EAMCET. The exam will most likely be postponed at least by four weeks,” told T Papi Reddy, chairman, TSCHE to TOI. Meanwhile, the decision of National Testing Agency’s (NTA) to conduct JEE four times in 2021 has not gone down well with lecturers and parents. Calling the move completely unnecessary, they said that conducting JEE as early as in February will create tremendous pressure on students, especially because the syllabus is not completed in most of the colleges. “Conducting competitive exams continuously for fourths months is not advisable and can have adverse impact on board examinations as well,” said Ashok Kumar, IIT Coordinator, Narayana Group of Institutions. Few, however, opined that students might prefer appearing for JEE in February or May as those dates are not going to coincide with board examinations. “NTA is giving more options to students. They don’t have to appear for all four exams if they are confident about their performance in one of the exams. However, this is not necessary. It’s like conducting four Olympics at the same time and giving golds medals to four different people,” said M Uma Sankar, All India Coordinator, Sri Chaitanya Group, adding that average students, however, can take advantage of these exams and secure a good score. Registrations for JEE-February had begun on Tuesday i.e December 15. Second, third, and final exam will be conducted in March, April, and May, respectively. https://www.instagram.com/p/CI2aaS2h2p0/?igshid=1qa99cfpeazol
