Opinion of the students

"This is my first competitive exam, especially a computer-based one. I was initially nervous about the difficulty level of questions, but the paper turned out to be quite easy," said Mohan, an EAPCET candidate. "Almost all the questions were from the intermediate syllabus, which is what we had prepared for. I'm very hopeful that I will crack the EAPCET exam with good marks," said Utham, another candidate.
