Group I examinations began smoothly without any protests or disturbances on Monday afternoon. Total 31,383 candidates have been shortlisted for the Group I Mains examinations to be held from Oct 21 to 27 by Telangana Public Service Commission ( TGPSC).

In the run up to the Group I examinations, a section of students held agitations demanding rescheduling of the examinations. With Opposition parties BRS and BJP throwing their weight behind protesting students and clashes between Group I aspirants and police, war-like situation prevailed in Ashoknagar area.

With the support of BRS working president, some Group I aspirants even approached Supreme Court, requesting rescheduling of the examinations. As a result widespread confusion prevailed over the conduct of Group I examinations.

Much to the relief of Revanth Reddy Sarkar, Supreme Court rejected Group I aspirants plea to reschedule the examination. Thus Revanth Sarkar, which has been determined to conduct Group I examinations according to the schedule, got a moral boost from the apex Court.

Commenting on Supreme Court’s decision, TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud, said that Congress Government is committed to protecting the interests of students and youth and SC judgement in Group I case has once again proved it.

Saying that GO 29 will no way harm the prospects of Group I aspirants belonging to SC, ST, BC, Minorities sections, Mahesh Kumar Goud urged Group I aspirants to keep aside all the misconceptions and fears and write examinations confidently. He conveyed best wishes to the Group I aspirants on the occasion.
