Hyderabad has been witnessing a series of protests by the unemployed youth over the last few days over the schedule of the District Service Commission (DSC) and Group-II & Group-III examinations. Last night, a huge number of students staged protests in multiple areas like Ashoknagar, Dilsukhnagar and Osmania University, demanding the government to postpone DSC and Group-II exams.
As of now, there is only a day gap between the schedule of DSC and Group II exams. While the DSC will be held from July 18 to August 5, the Group-II exams will be held on August 7 and 8.
More than a lakh students are reportedly appearing for both exams. They are questioning how can they prepare for the Group II exam, which has an entirely different syllabus if there is only a day gap after the DSC exam.
However, the government has been on its stance firmly and asserted that the exams will be conducted as per schedule.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy stated that these protests are being staged by political rivals and the heads of a few coaching centres. He added that many people who are protesting will not even appear for exams. He said that the notification for this DSC exam was given two years ago. “There was no change in syllabus nor we have changed the way of conducting the exam,” he stated.
He also said that the Group-I mains will be conducted in a 1:50 ratio and not a 1:100 ratio, as promised in their manifesto. He stated that the notification of Group-I prelims had been given as per the policy made in 2022. Now, the prelims are done and the results are out. As per the notification, we will be conducting mains in a 1:50 ratio.
“Neither Sridhar Babu nor I don’t have any objection in conducting mains with a 1:100 ratio but the court will strike off the exam stating that we are fundamentally deviating from notification issued in 2022,” stated Revanth.
On the other side, opposition party BRS is lamenting on Congress for not keeping up its promises made during elections.
BRS Working president KTR said that two politically unemployed fraudsters (Revanth Reddy and Rahul Gandhi) of Congress provoked the Telangana youth against the KCR Government by promising them the moon but didn’t fulfil a single promise.
“In the last seven months, neither was a single job notification given nor a single job delivered from the 2 lakh jobs promised in the first year of government formation,” he stated. He said that the BRS would be on the students’ side in this war against the government and would go to any extent to give them justice.
A certain section of students have been saying that aspirants who have written TET recently have no time to prepare for DSC and thus, they are demanding the government to postpone the exam.
Another section claims that many students are preparing for the exam for the last two years and some of them may lose eligibility if the exams are pushed any further.
These are the varied responses about the controversy around DSC and Group-level exams in Telangana. On the whole, people have opined it would be ideal for the government to make a decision that would help the majority of the students and not their political gain.
