24,000 Eamcet rankers fail Inter

As many as 24,000 students who qualified in Eamcet this year have become ineligible for admission into engineering and medical courses after they failed in Intermediate exams (plus two).

The 25 per cent weight given for Intermediate marks to determine ranks in Eamcet also changed the prospects of several toppers. Some of them slid down the rank list while others went missing from the Top 10 chart when JNTU-Hyderabad on Wednesday released Eamcet ranks.

However, Mohammed Gouse Jani, son of an auto driver in Vizag, who created a sensation by securing 159 out of 160 in Eamcet engineering stream retained his “state topper” status even after the Intermediate marks were given their due weight.

A student of Narayana Group, Gouse Jani secured “state first rank” by scoring 100 per cent marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry in Intermediate.

Ravinuthala Lalitha, a student of Sri Chaitanya, secured “state first rank” in medical stream.

While students from Narayana Group secured nine out of top10 ranks in engineering stream and three out of the top 10 in medical stream, students from Sri Chaitanya Group secured six ranks out of the top 10 in medical stream and one rank in engineering stream.

In engineering stream, the Narayana students who figured in the top 10 include Mohammed Gouse Jani (first rank), Boyapati Pallavi (third), Satyavolu Sai Nitish (fourth), Yangala Lakshmipathi (fifth), B.Sai Krishna (sixth), Koneru Kiran Babu (seventh), Malde Nishit Ketan (eighth), Ayesha Yasmeen (ninth) and Buddi Ramchandran (tenth rank).

Likewise, in the medical stream, Narayana students Challa Madhuri got fifth rank, Dushyant Ramkrishnan seventh rank and K. Amulya Reddy ninth rank.

Of the 10 toppers in the medical stream, six were from Sri Chaitanya Group. While Ravinuthala Lalitha got first rank, Narapaneni Kiranmayee came second, M. Rahul third, Sri Lakshmi Thota fourth, Muddala Durga Prasad sixth, V. Sai Kiran eighth and Syed Khalid Hashmi tenth.

A. Janardhan Reddy, a student of Sri Chaitanya, secured second rank in engineering stream. However, he took admission in IIT-Madras recently as he secured seventh rank in the OC category in IITJEE this year.

Of the failed candidates, 20,031 students had qualified in Eamcet engineering stream and 3,066 in medical stream. Apart from this, another 896 students who qualified in engineering stream and 452 students who qualified in medical stream have not submitted their mark memos to Eamcet officials resulting in non-allotment of ranks.

The 25 per cent weight has also reshuffled the top 10 ranks. In engineering stream, Boyapati Pallavi, who stood at the top along with Gouse Jani by securing 159 marks, got third rank.

A. Janardhan Reddy went up to second rank from third rank while Satyavolu Sai Nitish retained his fourth position. Koneru Kiran Babu went down from fifth to seventh place and Yangala Lakshmi Pathi improved his position from sixth to fifth place. B. Sai Krishna went up to sixth place from seventh. Buddi Ramcharan’s place came down to tenth from eight.

Sridhar Kandimalla and M.V.S. Raghavendra who stood at ninth and tenth places respectively earlier failed to make it to the Top 10 list. Their places were occupied by Malde Nishit Ketan (eighth rank) and Ayesha Yasmeen (ninth rank).

In medical stream, M. Rahul, who stood at first place earlier, went down to third rank. Ravinuthala Lalitha jumped from second to first place and Narapaneni Kiranmayee improved her position from third to second.

Sri Lakshmi Atthota retained her fourth position while V. Saikiran came down to eighth place from fifth. Muddala Durga Prasad retained his sixth position and Challa Madhuri improved her place from seventh to fifth while Dushyant Ramakrishnan jumped from eighth to seventh.

At the same time, Jakkala Sri Lakshmi Durga Tejaswani and Pilla Rakesh who stood at eighth and ninth place earlier failed to make it to the Top 10 list. They were replaced by A. Amulya Reddy (ninth rank) and Syed Khalid Hashmi (10th rank).
