The Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) has rescheduled the Group 2 examination to January 6 and 7, 2024, as it coincides with the upcoming Telangana Assembly Elections. The TSPSC Group 2 exam, earlier scheduled for November 2 and 3, 2023, has been postponed to ensure the smooth conduct of the examination alongside the electoral process, as stated in an official release. This rescheduling marks the second postponement for the TSPSC Group 2 exam, originally slated for August but rescheduled due to candidate protests overlapping with other competitive exams.
"The Commission, after carefully examining the matter, decided to reschedule the Group-II examination (Notification No: 28/2022), initially planned for November 2nd and 3rd, 2023, to the new dates of January 6th and 7th, 2024. This change is necessary due to the examination date (3rd November) coinciding with the election notification date and the increased administrative workload associated with election-related activities," the official release read.
The recruitment drive aims to fill 783 vacant positions across various departments within Group II Services. Candidates will undergo a written examination consisting of four papers.
The minimum required marks for candidates in different categories are as follows:
- For candidates in the Other Category (OC), Sports, and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), the minimum qualifying score is 40%.
- Candidates belonging to the Backward Classes (BCs) should achieve a minimum score of 35%.
- For candidates in the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Persons with Disabilities (PH), the minimum passing score is 30%.
