Writ on Inter weightage for Eamcet

By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad,July 4: A writ petition was filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court seeking a direction to declare that it was illegal to give weightage to Inter marks in Eamcet.

G. Kushal Prasad, a resident of Kurnool, B. Bhargavi, from Kadapa and B. Harish, from Anantapur who were aspiring for medical courses approached the High Court challenging the order issued by the government to give weightage marks to Eamcet candidates.

The petitioners contended that introducing a new system of weightage has totally changed the eligibility criteria for admission into MBBS and was not justified. They argued that the new system only benefited corporate colleges. The High Court will hear the writ on Monday.
