The exam board will conduct instant or supplementary examination for students who either failed or want an improvement in their marks from May 14. The last date for payment of the fee for these exams is April 20.

Srihari said the state could conduct a joint entrance examination (JEE) for admissions into engineering, pharmacy and agriculture courses as well across the country from 2019 on the lines of NEET for admissions into medical colleges.

The state government may have to do away with the present EAMCET from 2019, he said.

“Keeping this in view, the Telangana government has decided to start special coaching for intermediate students appearing for JEE and NEET for admissions into engineering and medical colleges from this academic year itself. We want our students to perform well at all the national level entrance tests,” Srihari added.
