B. Sudheer, principal secretary, Higher Education, officially released the results, while the Vice-Chancellor, P. Murali, read out the significant statistics to newspersons.

Hyderabadis topped the list by wresting as many as seven of the top ten ranks, while two (2nd and 8th) ranks went to Visakhapatnam. The lone ranker from the southern half of the State hailed from Nellore, who bagged the ninth rank.
