Hyderabad: In a major decision that is bound to eliminate subjective evaluation of a candidate’s capabilities in recruitment for group 1 and group 2 posts by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC), the Government has decided to consider only the marks obtained in written test and do away with the interview system. This decision was taken in the State Cabinet which met here on Tuesday.

Hitherto, the candidates who cleared the written tests were required to attend an interview by a board, which would award marks to the candidates and the total of marks obtained in the written test and the interview was considered for recruitment. The marks being awarded in interviews, being subjective in nature, were believed to tilt the scales either in favour or against the prospective candidate.
