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.

Moderate-to-Difficult Sessions Across both the Shifts on May 15

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.
