Group II exams postponed

Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Saturday announced changes in the schedule of the TSPSC exams that will bring some cheer to the aspirants. They have decided to postpone the Group II examination for the state by two months. This will also affect the date for the constable examinations. Additionally, it has announced that weightage will not be given to English language for the SI examinations.

Students and unemployed youth had been agitating for awhile and demanding that the Group II and constable exams be postponed, that the posts under Group II be increased from 439 to 3,500 and that the government should do away with the interview round for the exam.

The government has finally relented to the demand of postponing the exams. Taking into consideration the requests made to it by the students, the delay in the availability of the syllabi, and other factors, the government has announced that the Group II exams, which were earlier scheduled to be held on April 24 and 25, are now postponed by two months.

To benefit the rural applicants, there will not be any weightage for English language.
