AP EAMCET May 15 Wrapped: Moderate-to-Difficult Sessions Across both the Shifts
The AP EAMCET exam on May 15 concluded with an overall moderate-to-difficult profile across both shifts. Mathematics emerged as the toughest and most time-consuming section due to lengthy calculus derivations. Physics remained conceptually balanced, while easy NCERT-based Chemistry questions anchored student scores.
The AP EAMCET exam was successfully conducted for both the shifts on May 15, 2026. Students shared that the test was of moderate-to-difficult level across both the Shifts. In a detailed analysis, students also stated that Maths remained the primary bottleneck due to its length, while Chemistry provided highest scoring potential across both sessions.
Conducted by JNTU Kakinada in computer-based testing mode across major exam centres in AP, the exam proceeding will take a halt for two days, and will be conducted for one final day on May 18, 2026.

AP EAMCET 2026: Shift 1 vs. Shift 2 Combined Analysis
While both shifts maintained a uniform 160-question structure (80 Mathematics, 40 Physics, 40 Chemistry), subtle differences emerged in execution and time pressure.
| Shift & Time |
Difficulty |
Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Shift 1 (9AM - 12 PM) |
Moderate to Difficult |
Heavily concept-driven session. Punishingly long, time-consuming Mathematics section. Success relied on utilizing standard formula-based shortcuts. |
| Shift 2 (2 PM - 5 PM) |
Moderate |
Matched the morning session's difficulty curve. Featured a high density of calculus-dependent questions. Absolute time management was the deciding factor for top ranks. |
