   A Common Entrance Test, designated as Engineering, Agricultural and Medical Common Entrance Test (EAMCET) is the gateway for entry into the various under graduate level professional courses offered in different Government and Private Colleges of Andhra Pradesh. The test, which is taken by a huge number of aspirants, is presently conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNT), Hyderabad on behalf of the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE). An expert committee constituted by the Educational Department of the State Government decides the modus-operandi of the test.

   The APSCHE, which has been set up as per the recommendation of the National Education Policy 1986 is the first of its kind in the Country, and responsible for all matters related to the higher education of the state. The council is headed by a chairman appointed by the government of Andhra Pradesh from among the eminent educationist. For the smooth and efficient conduct of the examination, APSCHE has entrusted the responsibility of EAMCET to JNT University, Hyderabad-renowned for providing quality education for nearly 4 decades. Situated in the heart of the city at Kukatpally, JNT University, Hyderabad, has an environment of academic excellence with 'A' Grade accreditation by NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council).

   The EAMCET is conducted for two groups, that is, Engineering and Medical/Agriculture. The students opting for Medical studies have to appear in Physics, Chemistry and Biological Science papers. The obsession for the examination is so much that it is not uncommon to find cases wherein students have successfully cleared EAMCET but botched in higher secondary/intermediated examination. For example, according to a report more than 35,000 students who have qualified the EAMCET this year failed to clear Intermediate and Class XII examinations conducted by the Board of Intermediate Education, CBSE and ICSE respectively. Every year near about 4 lakhs students attempt EAMCET But wherein the number of Engineering aspirants are on rise with each passing year that for medical is on decline. For example in 2010 applications for medical studies has decline by nearly 15,000.As a result post-EAMCET, private medical colleges are struggling to fill their MBBS seats.

   At present there are approximately 4300 seats available in 32 medical and 21 dental colleges, both government and private/minority, in the state of AP.

   85% of the seats are reserved in favor of the local candidates. Reservation categories include SC/ST/BC, children of defense personnel, sports, NCC, GOI nominees.

Backed by dedicated and committed group of faculty, the medical studies of AP have secured a special place in the academic map of our country. The colleges have given our Nation many of its eminent doctors.

For practicing as a physician or surgeon, one needs to have completed the MBBS course from a recognized medical college and must possess a license from the State Medical Council to practice.

   As a profession, Medicine offers maximum opportunity for growth. Over the years, the field of medical studies has undergone enormous stages of development, and it has become so vast that specializations within it have been growing day by day.

   There are various areas of specialization available for the doctors. After doing MBBS, candidates can go for post graduate level studies (MD or MS). Post Graduate Programmes (MD or MS) is usually of 3 years duration. There are also Super Specializations which require a further 3-5 years of study.
  
   Those with Post Graduation (MD or MS or M.Sc. in Medicine) can go for Ph. D in any specialized area of medicine. MD or MS holders can complete the Doctoral Program (Ph. D) in 2 years and M.Sc. Medicine holders in 3 years.

The employment opportunities a doctor finds can broadly be categorized as below:
• In Government or private hospitals
• In Nursing homes/clinics/health departments
• In medical services of the army, navy and air force, under the Ministry of Defense
• In charitable institutions
• In medical colleges and training institutes as teachers
• In research institutes and medical colleges as researchers
• In the industrial sector
• Private practice/ self-employment

   Furthermore once they are specialized, they become eligible for openings in prominent hospitals, even abroad. Some of the countries like Malaysia Saudi Arabia, Oman, and UAE hire doctors from India at higher pay. Even in United States and Europe, doctors from India are regarded with high esteem. The solid reputation of Indian doctors and the validity of courses and their frequent up gradation contributes a great deal in making medical profession a financially viable one, with an added factor of respectability.

   The need and demand for medical professionals are on enormous rise as the super specialty hospitals are burgeoning both within the country and abroad, thereby, opening up new avenues of employment for them. The doctors are also drawn towards these state-of-art medical establishments as they offer better working conditions, more salary package, and greater opportunities of research with recognition for work.
