In Search Of Better Talent- TSPSC To Adopt UPSC Pattern

Mohammed Younus/ Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s dream of establishing Bangaru Telangana with a strong administrative set-up is likely to encourage Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) to adopt the Union Public Service Commission’s strong recruitment policy.

An advisory committee will also be formed to decide on the modalities of the commission in adopting new methods of function including examination pattern reforms"

Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) officials hinted at adopting the examination pattern similar to UPSC for selecting the best candidates in government posts. Though the basic frame work of the examination pattern is similar, a major difference is the presence of negative marking in UPSC examinations. The recently appointed chairman and other members, however, are yet to finalise the modalities. The examinations conducted by state public service commission differ according to the post and category of posts. For Group I, the pattern of examination is similar to that of UPSC. All the examinations for Group I posts are conducted in three stages which include Preliminary, Mains and Interview.

However, there would not be negative marking and aptitude test in any of the stages. For Group II and Group IV category, examinations are conducted in two stages, which include Written Test and document verification or interview. TSPSC chairman Ghanta Chakrapani said that the basic agenda before the commission was to recruit the best candidates. He said, “We will adopt the best practices to suit our needs and also benefit us in making the selection process more transparent.”

He said that controversial part of the UPSC examination pattern such as CSAT and others would not be adopted in the recruitment process. “We would like to recruit highly competent candidates through TSPSC as they have to serve the state for 30 years, he said and added that no time frame has been finalised for bringing in these reforms. TSPSC officials have also informed that an advisory committee would be formed to decide on the modalities of commission in adopting new methods of function including examination pattern reforms.
