TS EAMCET 2026 May 4 Shift 1 Questions & Answer Key: Full Memory-Based Analysis, Solutions and Download Guide
Day 1 of TS EAMCET BiPC was held on May 4, 2026 (Shift 1). Physics came in as the most calculation-heavy and challenging section, while Biology remained the most scoring, and memory-based questions with an unofficial answer key are circulating among test-takers.
This page collects memory-based questions and quick answers from students who sat the paper, explains how to use them to estimate your score, lists high-weightage topics for upcoming shifts, and shows when and how to download the official TGCHE response sheet.
Quick summary: What happened in May 4, 2026 Shift 1
The BiPC Shift 1 paper on May 4, 2026 tested Agriculture and BSc Pharmacy aspirants. Test-takers report a mixed paper: Biology was straightforward and high-scoring; Physics had lengthy numerical problems; Chemistry stayed balanced between theory and calculations.
Memory-based question sets and an unofficial answer key have been compiled from student recall. These are reliable for a rough performance estimate but not final — wait for the official response sheet from TGCHE to confirm your marked answers.
How to use this memory-based question paper and unofficial key
- Match your answers: Go question by question and mark which answers match the memory-based key. Work subject-wise to stay organised.
- Count correct answers: For each subject, note attempted, correct and incorrect counts.
- Estimate raw score: If you assume no negative marking, your raw score equals total correct answers. Use this only as a preliminary estimate until the official key.
Example quick calculation:
- Suppose you attempted 40 Biology questions and believe 36 match the memory-based key — estimated Biology marks = 36 .
- If Physics attempts are 40 with 24 matching the memory key — estimated Physics marks = 24 .
- Add subjects the same way to get an overall raw estimate.
Caveats: memory-based answers can have small errors in wording or numeric rounding. The conducting body usually releases an official response sheet a few days after the exam; final evaluation must use that.
Memory-based question highlights: Physics (select solved Qs)
Below are top physics questions recalled by students and short answers.
- A body projected at 20 m/s at 30° — maximum height = 5.10 m . (Use vertical component: u_y = 20 sin30 = 10 m/s; h = u_y^2/2g ≈ 100/19.6 ≈ 5.10 m.)
- Unit of magnetic flux density = Tesla (T) or Wb/m2.
- If distance between two charges is doubled, electrostatic force becomes one-fourth (inverse square law).
- Mirror used by dentists for enlarged images = Concave mirror.
- Air column 50 cm closed at one end vibrating in 5th harmonic: phase difference between open end and particle at 42 cm reported as 180° based on node/antinode positions.
Why Physics felt heavy: several questions required multi-step calculations and careful use of sign conventions. Common mistakes included mixing radians and degrees, using g = 9.8 vs 10 without consistency, and mis-reading harmonic node positions.
Quick checking tips for physics numericals:
- Recompute using a single value of g (9.8 or 10) and check rounding at the last step.
- For projectiles, separate horizontal and vertical components first and then apply kinematic equations.
- For electricity/magnetism, check units (e.g., Tesla, Coulomb) to catch unit mistakes.
Memory-based question highlights: Chemistry (select solved Qs)
Key chemistry answers from the memory-based list:
- Oxidation state of Ni in [Ni(CO)4] = 0 (CO is a neutral ligand).
- Identify condensation polymer: Nylon 6,6 .
- Most stable carbocation among standard choices would be tertiary (3°) due to hyperconjugation.
- Bond angle in methane (CH4) = 109.5° (sp3 hybridisation).
- Gas primarily responsible for global warming (among common options) = CO2.
- pH of 0.001 M HCl = 3 .
Frequent inorganic/organic topics in this paper were bonding, hybridisation, complexes and basic pH calculations.
One-line tricks for quick chemistry checks:
- Oxidation state: sum of oxidation states = charge of complex; neutral ligands (CO) contribute zero.
- Hybridisation: count sigma bonds + lone pairs on central atom; sp3 → 109.5°, sp2 → 120°, sp → 180°.
- Weak acid percent ionisation: percent ≈ sqrt(Ka/[acid]) × 100 for rough estimates when Ka is small.
Memory-based question highlights: Biology (select solved Qs)
Top biology answers from the memory recall set:
- Hormone for apical dominance = Auxin .
- Mismatched pair among options: Agave — Runner is incorrect (Agave reproduces by bulbil).
- DNA replication occurs in the S-phase of the cell cycle.
- Powerhouse of the cell = Mitochondria.
- Phloem transports organic food (photosynthates).
- Start codon = AUG (codes for Methionine).
- Photorespiration sequence of organelles: Chloroplast → Peroxisome → Mitochondria.
Why Biology was most scoring: many questions are direct factual recall or single-step reasoning. If you know textbook definitions and organelle functions, you can score quickly.
Fast verification checklist for biology answers:
- For diagrams, check labelling against textbook standards (e.g., plant parts, mitochondria structure).
- For pathways (photosynthesis, respiration), verify the sequence of organelles and key enzymes.
- For genetics, confirm codon, replication phase, and Mendelian terms with one-line textbook definitions.

- Skipping numerical verification: recompute physics and chemistry numericals with consistent constants.
- Letting a single hard question waste too much time in the exam; prioritise quick scores first.
One-page scorecard template to track your estimated marks
Use the template below to record your estimated scores from memory-based keys, then update when the official response sheet arrives.
| Subject | Attempted | Correct (memory match) | Incorrect | Estimated raw score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biology | ||||
| Chemistry | ||||
| Physics | ||||
| Total |
How to use it:
- Fill Attempted from your exam recall.
- Fill Correct using the memory-based key matches.
- Estimated raw score is the sum of corrects (assuming no negative marking).
- After official response sheet: update the Correct column with official marks and compare.
Advice on interpretation:
Treat memory-based estimates as conservative guides. Small differences can appear between memory and official key due to question wording, option phrasing, or rounding.
