With only three days remaining, the big question for unemployed youth and government job seekers in the State is whether the Congress government will fulfill its promise of announcing the Group-I notification. In their election manifesto, the Congress pledged to fill two lakh jobs within the first year of forming the government.
To honor this commitment, the government released a job calendar specifying the notification dates for various vacancies, with the Group-I notification scheduled for February 1.
The Congress also outlined plans to notify Group-II on April 1 in the first phase, with the second phase notification set for December 15. Additionally, teacher job aspirants were promised a mega District Selection Committee (DSC).
Notification dates for Group-III and IV vacancies, assistant executive engineers and AEE posts in various departments, agriculture, horticulture, and veterinary officers, assistant motor car vehicle inspectors, as well as positions in transport, excise, and police constables, polytechnic, junior and degree lecturers were also announced.
However, there are concerns that the government might miss the February 1 deadline as there have been no clearances from the Finance Department for recruiting new positions. The recruitment process involves approval from the Finance Department to the recruiting agency, such as the TSPSC. Even with everything in place, the recruiting agency takes at least one to two weeks to issue a fresh notification.
In 2022, the BRS government, through the TSPSC, announced 26 notifications for a total of 17,285 vacancies, including 503 Group-I, 783 Group-II, 1,375 Group-III, and 8,180 Group-IV. The newly formed TSPSC team, led by former Telangana DGP M Mahendar Reddy, is reportedly reviewing the commission’s functioning, recruitment process, pending notifications, and results to be declared.
