The government is considering the implementation of the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota in the state and this will be implemented once the government approves, Papi Reddy said. However, no orders from the government have been issued so far, he clarified. We are however making all necessary arrangements for its implementation in advance and a special column for the EWS quota was being incorporated in the application form, he said.

Papireddy also explained that the All India Technical Education Council (AICTE) has suggested that that chemistry is not mandatory for those who are interested in pursuing the test and for those who are studying maths, physics and other subjects besides maths and physics should be allowed to write the test.

The Chairman clarified that though the AICTE has suggested this, the Board will conduct the EAMCET and admission to the state engineering colleges as per the state government orders. The changes will be implemented only after the state government issues any such orders in accordance with the AICTE changes, he said.
