APPSC to re-conduct recruitment exam

Updated on: Thursday, September 16, 2010

The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) today decided to conduct re-examination for all the candidates who could not attend the recently held preliminary examination of Group-I service, which was opposed by Telangana supporters, due to genuine reasons.

Candidate in any venue in the State, unable to attend the exam, may submit their representation along with reasons and photo copy of Hall tickets to the Chairman of APPSC on or before September 23, to enable the commission to examine such representations on case by case basis, the APPSC said in a release.

The APPSC decided to conduct re-examination for all candidates who were alloted the B.Ed college centre inside the Osmania University where violent protests were held by Telangana supporters.

The APPSC held a special meeting today in view of the report received from the Chief Superintendent of B.Ed college centre about the disturbances during the conduct of the Group-I preliminary services screening test on September 5.

Telangana students and supporters clashed with police as the government conducted the examination even though they demanded that the test be postponed.

Claiming that Telangana was always discriminated against in the recruitment of employees by the APPSC, Telangana students and political leaders, cutting across party lines, demanded that the exam on September 5 be postponed.

However, students and leaders from non-Telangana regions requested that the government conduct the exam as scheduled as it had already been postponed twice.
