The candidates are requested to download their hall tickets on the Commission's website https://www.tspsc.gov.in one week before the examination date.
A few days ago, the applicants requested the Commission to postpone the exam as several other competitive exams are also scheduled to be held this month. Thousands of aspirants went on a protest in Hyderabad demanding the postponement of the exam.
In August, there are nine other competitive examinations, including the Central Government notifications, which are slated to be held before and after the Group-II examination.
After the TSPSC announced notifications for filling 783 Group-II posts, more than 5,51,943 applied for the vacancies. Aspirants said breathing time should be given so that they could prepare for the exam. They urged the government to give them sufficient time for preparations.
According to an applicant, the syllabus for the Group-II third paper (economics) was raised by 70 percent, which increased study pressure. The students were unable to study for the exams owing to the recent paper leak that disturbed the TSPSC applicants.
