TGPSC Announces Group I Preliminary Results; 31,382 Qualify for Main Tournament

A total of 31,382 candidates passed the Group I preliminary test and were declared provisionally admitted to the main examination on Sunday.

The Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) has released the results on its official website https://www.tspsc.gov.in and the final key has been placed in the login of the candidates. The Commission said that a ratio of 1:50 has been followed for admissions in the written (main) examination. The recent demand of the student and party-affiliated organisations was 1:100. “The number of candidates to be admitted in the written (main) examination (conventional type) would be fifty (50) times the total number of vacancies available in each multi-zone. Provided that in case of deficit of candidates in the reserved categories as defined in Rules 22 and 22 (A) of the Telangana State and Subordinate Service Rules – 1996, steps shall be taken to include such number of candidates from the merit list beyond the ratio of 1:50 as may be necessary to make up the deficit in the respective categories.”

The Commission conducted the preliminary test on June 9 at 897 centres across the state. Around 3.02 lakh candidates appeared for the test. The scanned copies of the OMR answer sheets of the candidates were placed in the candidates’ login on June 24. Following objections to the provisional key, a committee of subject experts prepared the final key and it was made available on Sunday.

The Commission said that the shortfall in respect of deserving sportsmen, who have applied for sports reservation, will be notified separately after verification. The main examination of Group I will be held from October 21 (Monday) to October 27 (Sunday).
