Issue of Hall Tickets for the Entrance Examinations

a) The Hall Tickets will be made available on the University’s Website www.uohyd.ernet.in by 20/05/2011
for downloading. It is the responsibility of the candidates to download the same and appear for the
examinations.

b) The candidates will not be permitted to write the entrance exam at any other centre except the centre
mentioned in the hall ticket.

c) It may be noted that all those who apply may be issued Hall Tickets without verifying whether or not
they satisfy the eligibility criterion for admission to a course. This will be finally verified at the time of
final admission, if granted. The candidates are therefore advised to go through the Prospectus-cum-
Application Form 2011-2012 carefully and judge on their eligibility before submitting their
application forms. Despite this caution, in case the candidates do not meet the minimum eligibility
criteria and still apply and appear for the entrance examination, they will do so at their own risk and
cost. Mere issue of Hall Ticket and allowing a candidate for entrance exam including interview /
practical test will not entitle a candidate for any claim on admission if She/he is not fulfilling the
required eligibility conditions for admission as prescribed in the Prospectus-cum-application form
2011-12 which will be thoroughly verified at the time of admission, if granted. At any stage if it is
found that any candidate does not fulfill the minimum eligibility requirements, his/her candidature
will not be considered for admission and if the admission is granted, it shall be cancelled forthwith.

d) Use of cell/mobile phones in the Examination Hall is strictly prohibited.

Note: The Question papers for admission to some of the courses as listed below are in objective or multiple
choice questions, which will be evaluated using the OMR technology. The candidates will be required
to mark the answers in the OMR Sheet with black or blue ball-point/ sketch pen during the period of the
test. Necessary instructions will be given in the respective question papers. Therefore the candidates
applying for these courses should bring black or blue ball-point / sketch pen to the Examination.
