The test and counselling for admissions were being supervised by a three-member committee comprising a top official of the Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (AFRC), Vice-Chancellor of NTRUHS and a government nominee.
Mr. Santha Rao said the test would have 160 objective type questions in the same lines as the Eamcet and there would be no negative marks for wrong answers.
