Eamcet ranks, marks to be released together

HYDERABAD: The department of higher education is preparing to release the Eamcet-2012 marks and ranks together, probably in the fourth week of June.Ever since it introduced 25 per cent weightage to Intermediate marks in the Eamcet ranks three year ago, the department has been releasing  marks and ranks separately.There was criticism that announcement of marks and ranks separately helped no one else but corporate junior colleges to advertise themselves to get more admissions. Several eminent people and political leaders like CPI state secretary K Narayana have been asking the government not to announce marks and ranks separately.After studying the demand, officials in the higher education department have decided to put a stop to the practice of announcing marks and ranks separately from this year. They have sent the file to chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy for approval. If sources are to be believed, the chief minister is inclined to give his nod for the proposal.
