Strong room incharges, route officers, liaison officers, assistant liaison officers and chief superintendents should be asked to ensure that they adhere to the instructions as per the checklist given by TSPSC.

The Chief Secretary directed the collectors to hold a press conference to sensitize the candidates about the Biometric feature introduced for the first time for this exam. The candidates should also be told to download the hall tickets and they should be told to reach the examination time much before the scheduled time so as to avoid last-minute delays.
