Andhra Pradesh's medical students in a fix, as government changes entrance test

At least 70,000 students in Andhra Pradesh preparing to sit for state medical entrance tests are in a fix. The reason? The Central government has announced that the tests will now be a nationwide common entrance test based on the CBSE syllabus, which is vastly different from the syllabus followed in the state. Worried students say there is no time to prepare for this new syllabus and want the new system to start from the next academic year instead.
