As the State is yet to recover from the series of paper leakages or malpractice with the investigations on and government under pressure, the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) has decided not to take any chances in the conduct of Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET) starting on May 10 this year.
The TSCHE has decided to send sitting squads to every centre this year as it doesn’t want to give any scope for malpractice in the centres. These squads will be accountable. Till last year only a few centres would see sitting squads or observers. This year, they will be in the halls throughout the sessions.
The decision, officials said, was taken in view of the TSPSC paper leaks and the subsequent political row that erupted. “Even a small mistake or incident in the EAMCET has the potential to create a negative image of the government and we don’t want to take any risk,” an official said.
