The Telangana State Government decided to allow those candidates to participate in this year's TS EAMCET counselling process who have secured passing marks in the inter exams and valid ranks in the TS EAMCET 2021 examination due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Check details below.
Candidates appearing for this year’s TS EAMCET examination have been notified by the exam conducting officials that they have scrapped the “45% rule” for TS EAMCET counselling temporarily in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The interested candidates can now appear for the TS EAMCET 2021 counselling process if they have secured minimum passing marks in their respective qualifying examinations and a valid rank in the TS EAMCET 2021 examination. Earlier, the TS EAMCET aspirants needed to secure at least 45% marks in their respective intermediate examinations and a valid rank in the TS EAMCET entrance test to be considered eligible for the TS EAMCET counselling process.
The Telangana state government had earlier cancelled its class XIIth state board examinations because of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The second-year intermediate students were awarded their respective first-year intermediate marks and those who could not secure passing marks in their respective first-year intermediate exams were awarded 35% marks. The relaxation is applicable for the Telangana Open School Society (TOSS) students as well.
The decision to relax the 45% rule to participate in the TS EAMCET 2021 counselling process was taken by the Higher Education Department (HED) of the Telangana state in a meeting held on August 11th, 2021. One of the higher education department officials stated that necessary orders regarding this relaxation decision will be issued by the state government very soon.

Last year, the same relaxation was in place due to the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the TOSS, BIE, and inter examinations being cancelled by the state government. The first-year inter marks were awarded to the second-year inter candidates and candidates who failed in their first-year inter exams were passed with 35% overall aggregate marks.
