HYDERABAD: The Finance department accorded permission to fill up 60 more posts under Group-1 through Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC). These posts are in addition to the recently notified 503 posts. With this the total number of Group-1 posts to be filled by the government touched 563.
“The government hereby accord permission for filling-up of 60 vacancies in various categories under Group-I services, through TSPSC. The TSPSC shall take necessary steps for direct recruitment to the vacant posts permitted to be filled up in this order, by obtaining the requisite details, such as local cadre-wise vacancy position, roster points,qualifications, among other, from the concerned Secretariat departments and Heads of Departments.
The TSPSC shall issue notification and schedule for recruitment, expeditiously,” an order issued by the Finance special chief secretary K Ramakrishna Rao said.
The BRS government conducted the preliminary examination on October 16, 2022 for filling 503 Group-1 posts. However, the examination was later cancelled due to a paper leak. The preliminary examination which was to be conducted on June 11, 2023, was also cancelled following the Telangana High Court’s direction. It remains to be seen whether the current government would conduct examinations for all 563 posts or challenge the high court order pertaining to 503 posts in the Supreme Court.
