Conducting Intermediate Exams this year has become new contentious issue between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. While AP is pressing for common examination, Telangana government unilaterally announced the schedule for a separate exam.
According to Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, both the states will be having EAMCET common for a period of 10 years. Intermediate marks have weight-age in EAMCET and hence both the states should have common Intermediate examination according to AP. There is a chance that examinations in one State might be tough and easy in the other State which will deprieve equal chances for students in EAMCET.
Andhra Pradesh government is planning to take up the issue with the Governor ESL Narasimhan and will also hesitate to take up the issue with Courts if necessary. Minister for HRD Ganta Srinivasa Rao has instructed officials to explore all the possible options in this issue.
