EAMCET exam is for entering in to the statewide Engineering colleges.

In this exam questions are given in Objective Type only. In EAMCET objective questions
occurs based on basic concepts of Intermediate books
In EAMCET, both speed and strike-rate matter. You need to be quick as well as accurate
to achieve high scores.
Master the fundamentals, practice a lot, and manage your time to get good rank
