EAMCET 2012 results are out on Friday evening. Damodar Raja Narasimha minister for higher and technical education released the results here on Friday. Two Hyderabad students bagged the top rank one each in medical and engineering streams. Out of a total of 2.83 lakh students who wrote the engineering stream of the examination about 2.07 lakh had secured ranks. Out of a total of 90,917 students who wrote the medical examination just about 77,800 students secured ranks. The first rank in medical stream was secured by Vijay Ketan Reddy, a resident of Dilsukhnagar and in engineering stream the first rank was bagged by Chinta Nitish Chandra, a resident of Madhapur. Unlike the previous year where most of the top ranks were bagged by girl students, this year in both the streams just two girl students each secured top ranks.

The toppers said that they had secured the best ranks as they had spent 18 hours a day preparing for the test. Medicine topper Vijay Ketan said he decided to opt for the stream against his father's wish and hence he had to prove his mettle. Ketan's father, Raghuveer Reddy is an ophthalmologist who runs a private clinic in the city. "He did not want me to become a doctor as my elder sister had opted for the same profession. My family wanted me to be an engineer but my interest was in medical sciences and I followed my dream," said Ketan who is planning to join Gandhi Medical College. The topper in engineering, Chinta Nitish Chandra said he is interested in computer engineering. "I have still not decided which college to choose from as I have cleared national entrance examinations as well," Chandra said.
