IPE Marks are important

The effect of IPE marks has been more than expected on ranks of many students. So for current second year students give a lot of attention to IPE, because IPE score can alter your ranks greatly. Looking at the positives of the new system, the extent to which some students get very good ranks by fluke is reduced, Like I know a guy who has about 60% in optionals in Intermediate and attempted EAMCET by putting only guessess, this guy ended up scoring 96, which would have been a cool below 5,000 rank had 25% inter marks were not added, he ended up getting a rank of 25,000.
Other fortunate and unfortunate guys of eamcet 2009 are a couple of people listed on Eamcet website
