Hyderabad: Students who wish to appear for Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (Eamcet) must have Aadhaar number.

That apart, the government has increased the fee for examination from Rs 250 to Rs 350 from this year.
Besides, jammers will be arranged at the test centres and they also be under electronic surveillance system. The decision was taken to avoid any kind of malpractices in the examinations.
