Dates of Eamcet 2012, Icet, Pgecet, Edcet Schedules - OU or AU for Eamcet

It is most likely that the EAMCET 2012 will be conducted by Osmania University for admission to engineering, agriculture and pharmacy admissions in Andhra Pradesh for 2012-13. The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Hyderabad has been conducting EAMCET for the past 13 years in a row. The recent appointments of Vice Chancellors to JNTU and some other universities in the state are believed to be the reason for the proposed change of guard for EAMCET 2012. Unofficial sources are saying that in all its probability, Osmania University or Andhra University will take the responsibility of EAMCET 2012.

Eamcet is the highly popular Common Entrance Test in AP. Iit is estimated that the host university of EAMCET will get about Rs.12 crore through sale of Eamcet applications. Osmania University seems to be very keen on replacing JNTUH and want to conduct EAMCET 2012 during May 2012. The AP State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) is likely to take a decision in the last week of this month in this regard. The APSCHE selects the responsible universities that will conduct all Common Entrance Tests such as Eamcet, ECET, ICET, EDCET, LAWCET, PGECET, DIETCET etc. on its behalf. All the CETs schedules will be displayed on www.apsche.org. Following is the list of CETs and probable responsible universities for the academic year 2012-13.

1) EAMCET 2012: Osmania University or Andhra University
2) PGECET 2012: Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati
3) ICET 2012: JNTU Hyderabad
4) EDCET 2012: Nagarjuna University, Guntur
5) LAWCET 2012: Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuram
6) DIETCET 2012: Department of School Education, Andhra Pradesh.

Dates and schedule of notifications for these examinations will be announced in the last week of December 2011. APSCHE has been entrusting the responsibility of various CETs to different universities on a rotation basis. Though both Osmania and Andhra Universities are contesting for taking EAMCET responsibilities, APSCHE has been with JNTUH for the past 13 years. With the appointment of Prof Rameshwar Rao as the new Vice-Chancellor of JNTU Hyderabad in November 2011, it appears that the relations between Prof Rameswara Rao and APSCHE are under strain. Prof D.N. Reddy, who is known for his adinistrative capabilities was retired in August 2012. Prof. Rameswarao was removed from his post of convenor for PGECET 2011 due to his inept handling of the examination process.
