University Vice-Chancellor A.V. Krishnam Raju said at a press conference on Monday that the university had decided to adopt online method for MBBS and BDS together and separately for other courses.
He made it clear that the candidates intending to join these courses should have secured 50 per cent marks both in EAMCET and Intermediate.
