Telangana rules out DSC test rescheduling; exams to be held from July 18 to August 5

Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has ruled out rescheduling the District Selection Committee (DSC) test.

This comes after unemployed youth demanded the rescheduling of the test. The DSC exams would be conducted from July 18 to August 5, as previously announced, he added.

Speaking to the media here, Bhatti Vikramarka said the Congress government rescheduled and announced a notification for 11,000 posts shortly after assuming the office. Around 2.79 lakh candidates had applied for the DSC. Of which 2.05 lakh of them have already downloaded their hall tickets, he said.

The deputy chief minister said that the state government had also set up a grievance cell that would be accessible round the clock to handle any issues.

"We want the unemployed youth to prepare well for the exam and succeed in educating the underprivileged students in government schools. In addition to the 11,000 positions that have already been announced, an additional 5,000 to 6,000 are being notified following a comprehensive review,” he said.

Bhatti Vikramarka said the government is contemplating releasing another notification to fill up another 5,000 vacancies and more.

The Congress government would release DSC notifications regularly and unemployed youth need not worry in this regard. He also claimed that the Congress government had successfully conducted the Group I preliminary test and accused the previous BRS government of ignoring the welfare of the unemployed youth in the state.

The deputy chief minister said that a total of 31,382 candidates were selected for the Group I mains and the schedule for the Group II examination.

“The recruitment of 13,321 candidates was nearing completion and the Congress government had sent employment letters to 30,000 candidates in just three months after assuming the office. We will also accelerate the process. We will also announce a job calendar. The exercise involves filling positions for junior lecturers, assistant engineers, divisional accounts officers, and Gurukul PET,” Bhatti Vikramarka said.
