More Examinations under the ambit of TSPSC

 Mohammed Younus
To ensure transparency in all recruitments being proposed by the State government, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is contemplating to bring 17 departments which were not under the ambit of Telangana State Public Service Commission.

Recruitment to these 17 departments was not being carried out by the commission for a long time following decisions taken by successive governments for a variety of reasons in 1986 and 2003. These departments were detached from the commission through legislations and other means adopted by the government. The categories of the posts that were removed from list of Public Service Commission include the posts of Gazetted to Junior Assistant and Typist in subordinate courts. The issue was brought to the notice of Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Kadiyam Srihari on several occasions with a plea to pursue the matter with the Chief Minister.

In addition, several rounds of discussions were also held with the Public Service Commission officials on ways to conduct recruitment exams.
It is learnt that the CM has expressed his willingness to see that recruitments are carried out only through the PSC, as is the practice in Kerala. An official in TSPSC informed that this move would increase transparency in the recruitment process and there would be fair deal for all. He said, “If the recruitment procedures are fair then the State will definitely prosper and get accolades.”

Currently, the responsibility of TSPSC is to conduct about 150 different recruitment tests, including departmental tests. It is learnt that the commission is ready with the ‘scheme of examination’ for 137 different competitive examinations.

The recruitments that do not come under the purview of TSPSC include School Assistants, Sub-Inspector of Police (Civil), Group IV services, Civil Assistant Surgeons in Medical & Health Services, Veterinary Assistant Surgeons in Animal Husbandry department, School Assistant in Panchayat Raj institutions, Civil Judges, Excise Inspectors, Assistant Professors in Medical & Health Services and several others.

Interestingly, the commission could not take up the recruitment of one category, but can recruit employees of another category within the same department. The recruitment for School Assistants is done by the School Education Department constituted District Selection Committees (DSC), Sub-Inspectors is done by Police Recruitment Board and so on.
