A total of 31,383 candidates had qualified for the Mains after the prelims, and 21,181 candidates (67.17%) appeared for the exams across 46 exam centers in Hyderabad, Rangareddy, and Medchal districts.

Evaluation Process and Result Timeline

The evaluation process for the Group 1 Mains exams started in the second week of November and is being conducted in two phases for each paper. If there are discrepancies in the marks between the phases, a third phase of evaluation will be carried out. TGPSC is aiming to complete the evaluation and release the final merit list based on 1:2 ratio (1 position for every 2 candidates) by February 19, 2024.

Recruitment Process Timeline

The TGPSC plans to expedite the recruitment process, with Revanth Sarkar intending to complete the entire recruitment cycle for Group 1 within a year of the notification, following a model similar to the UPSC recruitment process. This would ensure faster and more efficient recruitment and avoid backlogs.

Future Plans: Group 2 and Group 3 Exams

In line with the new plans, TGPSC will release the results for Group 2 and Group 3 exams only after the declaration of Group 1 results. This is being done to prevent delays and streamline the recruitment process for these posts. The Group 2 written exams are scheduled for next month, and the Group 3 exams have already been completed.

Key Dates to Remember:

• Mains Exam Dates: October 21–27, 2024
• Results Expected: February 19, 2024
• Evaluation Process: Ongoing since the second week of November 2024

The TGPSC 2024 notification for the 563 Group 1 posts was released on February 19, 2024, and after the completion of evaluations, candidates will be selected based on merit, followed by certificate scrutiny.

The protest reached a peak when candidates gathered at the Secretariat on Saturday afternoon to demand the postponement of the exams. The rally saw the involvement of political leaders from both the BJP and BRS, many of whom, along with the candidates, were arrested and taken into custody. Despite the unrest, the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) is pushing ahead with plans to conduct the exams. Hall tickets have already been issued, and authorities have assured that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure the smooth conduct of the exams.

DGP Jitender, in a media conference held in Hyderabad, emphasized the state’s commitment to maintaining order during the examinations. He warned that any attempt to create trouble or disrupt the public in the name of protests would be dealt with according to the law. He also stated that those opposing the exams have the option to take their grievances to the Supreme Court, following the High Court’s dismissal of petitions seeking the postponement of the exams.

The recruitment process aims to fill 563 Group 1 vacancies, with 31,382 candidates expected to sit for the Mains exams, which will take place from October 21 to October 27 in Hyderabad. The exams will cover seven papers, conducted from 2 PM to 5 PM each day. Candidates are required to arrive between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM, as latecomers will not be permitted entry, even by a minute.

Despite these arrangements, candidates are continuing their fight to delay the exams. The High Court has already dismissed multiple petitions calling for the postponement, including appeals over alleged errors in the preliminary examination key. The court ruled that there were no valid reasons to interfere with the single judge’s order rejecting these pleas. Additionally, the court noted that nearly 90 percent of the qualified candidates have already downloaded their hall tickets, with the examination centers ready for the upcoming tests.

The court’s decision comes after multiple delays in the recruitment process, which has already been canceled twice. With the stakes high for both the candidates and the government, the next few days will be crucial in determining the outcome of this long-contested examination process.
