The Telangana government in 2018 had notified 369 posts of pharmacists through Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC). However, the entire recruitment process and announcement of results got delayed due to legal cases in courts.

Recently, the health department received a green signal from the courts to complete the recruitment of 310 posts of pharmacists. On September 12, the TSPSC had released the results of 310 posts of pharmacists and the counselling process to complete the recruitment and posting is underway.

“Counselling to recruit pharmacists has started on Thursday. The entire process will be completed in the coming days. I want to congratulate the selected candidates,” Health Minister, T Harish Rao on Thursday said.
