Eamcet key

As many as seven errors that reportedly crept up in the Eamcet 2008 paper, apart from the chaotic traffic in the city, troubled students who appeared for the test on Thursday.

According to students, a question on thermal conductivity in Physics in the engineering paper had answers which did not tally. Similarly, in Mathematics, the correct answer did not figure among the options.

"Based on inputs given by students, two questions could be wrong. One in Mathematics and the other in Physics. The students said the answers did not tally," Narayana Engineering College, Physics course coordinator, P V R K Murthy told TOI.

Meanwhile, in the medical stream, there were four questions in Physics which had errors and one in Zoology, students said.

Also, in the medical paper, one of the questions had a translation error in Telugu. While the correct option for a question for simple harmonic motion was 'decreases and then remains static,' the same was translated as 'taggi malli perugutundi' (decreases and then increases) in the Telugu question paper.

There were reportedly some mistakes in a question on magnetism and Huygen's principle in the Physics section. The question on magnetism had reportedly wrong data and students could not arrive at the correct answer.

Asked about the errors, Eamcet convener E Saibaba Reddy said these could be detected only after the key is released on May 11. "Students will be awarded marks if there are any wrong questions. Once the key is released, objections can be raised," Saibaba Reddy said.

As many as 2,65,660 students appeared for engineering and 77,143 for the medical stream.

There were also nearly 200 students who missed the examination as they arrived late at their centres. The students who missed the examination by a minute or two said they were stuck in traffic jams.

"I got stuck in a traffic jam at Lakdi-ka-Pul," a student Arshad Ayub said. Ayub and two of his friends missed the examination by two minutes at the Muffakham Jah College of Engineering at Banjara Hills.
In some of the big campuses, including Osmania University, where there were more than one centre some students lost time searching for their centres.
