The model EAMCET exam is very helpful for students who are preparing for EAMCET and NEET he added. He said it is observed that students who get ranks in the model EAMCET exam organised by SFI are getting good ranks in the main examination.

He further said that getting medical seats had become difficult and turned out to be a dream for the poor students. By giving autonomous status to private medical colleges, the PG medical college fees had been increased from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 30 lakh he added.
