Hyderabad : Jumping at the opportunity being offered in the form of change of syllabus for Group-I and Group-II exams, coaching centers are minting money from job aspirants by offering their ‘own syllabus’ for the prestigious exams, though the government is yet to take a call on the issue. Taking advantage of vague announcements by the government and TSPSC members, the coaching centre have started preparing material for the ‘changed’ syllabus and are selling them at exorbitant prices.
Soon after the government announced that the syllabus would be changed, some of the academies imparting training for competitive examinations started promising that they would circulate study material on Telangana History, culture, art, architecture and literature, gleaned from local history books and as suggested by experts. Actually the changes announced by the government in syllabus are not big as only the Cultural History of the State would be incorporated in it. However, coaching academies are promising students material with substantial changes in syllabus.
A student, K Venkat Yadav, who has been preparing for the Groups examination, said that he had paid Rs 5,000 for the material promised to be provided by the academy where he is being tutored. He said that at least hundred students had paid money for the material. TSPSC has constituted a committee, headed by Prof G Haragopal, to design the basic structure of the new syllabus. However, the commission has clearly stated that there would be not much change in the syllabus.
When TSPSC chairman Ghanta Chakrapani announced the decision relating to change in syllabus, he had specifically advised the students not to fall prey to the tactics of coaching academies. He said that the changes would be only in respect of material carrying only a few marks and would be announced by the commission itself soon. He said, “We would not allow any coaching academy to exploit the situation by predicting syllabus.”
Despite this warning, many academies have already started luring students and aspirants with their own syllabus. Students who have been waiting for the notifications have become scapegoats for the coaching centers. A major worry for the students now is the time that would be taken by the commission to release the notification.
