WEB NOTE
The Telangana Public Service Commission is receiving a number of enquiries regarding the process of Group II (Notifn. Nos. 20/15 & 17/16) as final orders were given by the Hon’ble High Court in their Judgment dt: 12/10/2018. The Commission desires to share the status of further proceedings in Group-II recruitment for benefit of candidates who appeared for the examination.
Soon after the availability of the copy of the Judgment, the Commission held a meeting on 20/10/2018 and it was decided to comply with the directions in the final orders issued by the Hon’ble High Court.
The officers concerned have prepared stage wise procedure which was deliberated and approved by the Commission on 25/10/2018. According to the orders of Hon’ble High Court, two more questions were deleted in addition to 17 questions out of 600 questions deleted by the Commission and answer for one question was changed. Taking note of the directions, a revised answer key was released on 28/10/2018.
According to the orders of Hon’ble High Court, the scoring pattern was changed to award marks for the 19 deleted questions to all candidates who attempted the questions and the scoring was attempted afresh.
According to the directions of the Hon’ble High Court , the candidates who committed errors in bubbling such as wrong bubbling, no bubbling, double bubbling of the information relating to Roll number Question booklet number, centre code etc and used whitener or eraser have to be excluded from certificate verification process in 1:3 ratio .
The Commission therefore has initiated action in this aspect and eliminated OMRs with bubbling errors and drawn a fresh 1:3 list. As such, at this juncture, approximately 1100 OMRs (@ 4 papers per person) of the candidates who are newly included in 1:3 list due to revision of Key and scoring pattern, have to be retrieved for the process of physical verification. After retrieving the original OMR sheets of all the 3148 candidates in fresh 1:3 list, they will have to be subjected to physical verification in the presence of a Committee to eliminate OMRs with whitener / eraser.
Retrieval of approximately 12,592 OMR sheets ( i.e., 3148X4) will take a reasonable time and thereafter, physical verification of all the OMRs and video recording will take further time.
As on today, retrieval of OMR sheets is under progress and further process before placing 1:3 list for certificate verification may take approximately 3 weeks.
Candidates may note that short-listing for general candidates is done in 1:3 ratio and Physically Handicapped candidates in 1: 5 ratio.
The aspirants to Group II are requested not to fall prey to speculations or rumours and await the 1:3 list to be announced by the Commission.
Further, the candidates may note that as Interviews for other recruitments are in progress in TSPSC office, giving appointment to individual candidates or group of candidates to meet Commission cannot be entertained. Status on the progress will be intimated from time to time through Commission’s press-note/web-note.
Hence, all the Group II candidates are requested to co-operate by refraining from approaching the Commission for further clarifications in this matter and by not relying on unauthorized information and desisting from spreading such unauthorized information or rumours.
All the candidates may note that the Commission is reviewing the process regularly in order to release the 1:3 result at the earliest possible time.
