HYDERABAD: Telangana students ruled the Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET) 2018 by clinching six of the top 10 spots in engineering.
City lad Gattu Mytraya with a cumulative score of 94.94 got the second rank in the results that were declared by AP Human Resources Development minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao at Vijayawada on Wednesday.
GV Srivardhan with a score of 94.20 secured 4th rank, M Shaik Wajid got a score of 93.78 and 5th rank, B Jishnu who scored 93.51 is at 6th position and AVP Vamsinath with 92.86 score is at 7th place in the toppers list. They are all from Rangareddy district of the state.Mytraya, who fared well in JEE Mains and got 5th rank, told Express that he had hoped he would make it to the coveted list of toppers, but it’s too soon to celebrate.
“The focus is now JEE Advanced and IIT Bombay is the aim,” he said. Support of teachers and parents and stress-free environment are responsible for his performance in the national-level competitive examinations, he said. Fond of travelling and computers games, he also regularly participates in several Olympiads. “This is one of the reasons why he never felt stressed about exams,” said G Anuradha, Mytraya’s mother. Like Mytraya, GV Srivardhan’s fourth rank in AP EAMCET “was expected” by his parents. They say that he was able to get good ranks in both JEE Mains (10) and AP EAMCET only on the basis of the classroom studies which he did from 6am to 10 pm.
“There would not be any time for self-study but my son never complained that he felt stressed. He has been studying in techno-school since class 6, so by Intermediate when he became a hostel student, he had adapted himself,” said mother Rukmini Rao. Srivardhan, who likes math and physics, wants to study in IIT Bombay and take up research later.Among the girls, M Vishnu Manogna, who got the 10th rank, is the topper among girls, and is also from the city.
