The JNTU V-C and Eamcet-3 Chairman Prof. Venugopal Reddy said that the committee decided to award 8 marks to all the candidates for fairness.
The ambiguity in answers was due to tough questions set by IIT experts and they had a different view of the answers. “We approached the IIT experts to avoid the regular Eamcet paper setters given the leakage earlier as we wanted to be doubly sure of avoiding all those who were part of the earlier exam,” he said.
