Getting that medical or engineering seat may soon be a little less toughGetting that medical or engineering seat may soon be a little less tough. The government intends to introduce a new system from 2009



whereby 25 per cent weightage would be given to Intermediate marks while deciding Eamcet rankings.

The new system will be applicable to students who will take admissions to the Intermediate course in 2007 and thereby write Eamcet two years later in 2009.

This was announced by higher and technical education minister P Venkateshwar Rao on Friday at the inaugural function of the three-day orientation programme for officers, principals and lecturers of government junior colleges at the Academy of Rural Development, Rajendra Nagar.

He said the government has also instructed the Board of Intermediate Education to change the syllabus in a way that brings it on par with the CBSE syllabus.

This, according to the minister, would help students to appear for competitive examinations without putting any extra effort.

On Tamil Nadu's move to abolish the common entrance test, the higher education minister said this could be done in the state only after strengthening the existing Intermediate education.

Regarding infrastructure development, the minister sadi that the government has sanctioned Rs 100 crore for the construction of junior college buildings in the state
