The Telangana government has decided to postpone the Telangana State Public Service Commission Group 2 examination. As per PTI, the TSPSC Group 2 examination will now take place in November. The decision was taken after Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao directed Chief Secretary A Santhi Kumari to consult with the Commission.
The state government decided after hundreds of candidates took over the streets and demanded the postponement of the examination.
On August 10, the student's union staged a protest outside the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC), in Nampally, in Hyderabad. The protesters demanded the postponement of the Group 2 exams.
Candidates took the road urging the commission to reschedule the exams due to a clash with the Gurukula Board exams, which are conducted by the Telangana Residential Educational Institutions Recruitment Board (TREIRB).
As per several media reports, the candidates said that the syllabus for the Group 2 economics paper was increased by 70 percent, increasing the burden of studies. Further, Telangana Jana Samithi president Kodandaram said that TSPSC should postpone the examination and give the candidates sufficient time to prepare.
