From now on, admission to B.Sc Nursing courses will be on the basis of EAMCET rank, said Higher Education Council Chairman Professor R. Limbadri. He said orders have also been issued in this regard. It has been revealed that this policy will be implemented from the 2022–23 academic year. Limbadri spoke to the media at the council office.

He said the Central Government had recently issued guidelines stating that admission to the Nursing course did not work with the National Eligibility Test (NEET) and that it was clear that admissions could be taken through various examinations at the discretion of the states. In this context, the state government has decided to fill the respective seats through EAMCET ranks. The chairman explained that so far admission in the four-year nursing course has been based on Inter (Bi.P.C) marks.

Last date for the applications (EAMCET) – May 28th
The Board of Higher Education has already issued the EAMCET notification. Applications will be accepted online until May 28. The notification said that M.P.C students should write to the Department of Engineering and those who have done Bi.P.C should write an EAMCET for admission in Agriculture and Medical courses. He said that all Bi.P.C students will have the same exam and after the ranks are announced they will have the opportunity to opt for the Nursing‌ course. EAMCET application deadline was May 28 and there was no need to extend the deadline. Explained that the respective colleges will start the admission process after the ranks are announced.
