Mohammed Younus / Hyderabad : An experts’ committee set up by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) would hold its first meeting this week to discuss guidelines for formulating a new syllabus for competitive examinations. The 25-member committee headed by noted educationist G Haragopal would examine the present pattern of examination and formulate its own syllabus. The scheme of syllabus includes frame work of examination for candidates appearing for around 22 examinations that fall under the jurisdiction of TSPSC.
It includes the number of questions, level of assessment and depth of questioning. After designing a suitable scheme, it would be presented to the government for approval. The social sciences part of the existing syllabus is set to change as per the policy decision of the Telangana government with an intention to include the history, culture, geography, art and literature pertaining to Telangana region. The experts’ committee includes professors of Geography, History, Literature and other social sciences.
The TSPSC needs its own syllabus that encompasses all geopolitical details of the state, a high official in the government on the condition of anonymity said, adding that that the syllabus is likely to change for a 200-mark single social sciences paper. He said that all competing candidates would anyhow understand the Constitution and history, but they should also know about the geo-political and social aspects of Telangana state as well.
The existing pattern of the examination consists of four parts out of which two parts pertain to social history and contemporary problems and rural development in the state for Group 2 examinations. On the other hand, for Group 1 examinations, the Paper II contains History and Cultural Heritage of India and Andhra Pradesh which would be replaced with that of Telangana.
Where would be the change?

Cultural heritage of India along with AP
-It also carries questions on various social and cultural movements too
Group 2

formation of Andhra Pradesh
-Other part comprises of questions on development aspects of the AP
