This year, in a bid to take the application process online, the government has said that the documents of candidates should be uploaded online and certified online only and Wednesday is the last date for the same, The Indian Express reported. Candidates who had appeared for the entrance exam can check their scores and ranks at sche.ap.gov.in.

For the document verification, candidates have to visit the institute with all the requisite documents and AP EAMCET seat allotment letter. In case, the candidate fails to report, his or her allotment will be stand cancelled.

According to reports, the students on the first day of the counselling had a tough time as the site did not start on time as announced. The counselling which was scheduled to start at 9 am on Monday was up and running only by 1.15 pm.

According to The New Indian Express, EAMCET convenor GS Panda Das said that the technical errors were not anticipated as it was for the first time that EAMCET counselling was being done online.
