What is AP EAMCET Exam?
The Andhra Pradesh Engineering Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (AP EAMCET) is a state level examination for the state of Andhra Pradesh. The AP EAMCET is organised by the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE), a statutory body of the government of Andhra Pradesh. The exam is carried out by Jahawarlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Kakinada, on behalf of APSCHE.
AP EAMCET is an entrance examination conducted for admissions into professional courses related to medicine, engineering, and agriculture offered by various universities and colleges spread across the Andhra Pradesh State.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) was established and vested with the authority to conduct the medical entrance examination in the country. Apart from NTA, no board or university can conduct the medical entrance examination. Hence, AP EAMCET is conducted only for engineering and agriculture courses in the State.
