VIJAYAWADA: The postponement of DSC examinations from the first week of December to the last week of the month has evoked mixed response from the aspirants. While a few aspirants are supporting the decision taken by the State government, a few others are expressing reservations to it. The DSC examination notification was released on October 26 and the examination was scheduled to be conducted from December 6, which means candidates had only 41 days to prepare for it.
According to the new schedule, the examination will commence from December 24.The decision was taken after many aspirants requested HRD Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao and the Education department to postpone the examination citing lack of time to prepare. K Swaroopa Rani, a DSC aspirant, said there was no need to postpone the exam as the notification was already delayed by an year.
“We have been preparing for the examination for the last one year. This is the case of most of the DSC aspirants. Then, what was the need for postponing the exam citing that there was less time for the aspirants to prepare?” she asked. Meanwhile, some aspirants beg to differ. “There are many first timers and fresh graduates like me who need a little more time to prepare for the exam. Forty-one days are quite a short time and the postponement of exam by another two weeks will help us,” says KV Madhav, another aspirant.
Over six lakh candidates from across the State have applied for the 7,729 vacant teachers posts.
For the first time, B Tech, BE and BBA graduates are also eligible to write the DSC exam.
The AP TET and TRT exam will begin from December 24 and end on January 30, 2019.
