3.5 lakh keep of Group-4 exam!

3.5 lakh keep of Group-4 exam !

The Group-IV recruitment exam conducted by the AP Public Service Commission on Sunday was held without any interruption.

However, 3.5 lakh candidates out of total 10.44 lakh candidates remained absent.

Students were allowed to download the hall tickets from the APPSC website until 8 am on Sunday but despite this convenience, only 6.94 lakh candidates downloaded the hall tickets.

Several candidates missed the exam as they arrived late, and around 50 students in Suryapet were not allowed to appear as they failed to provide a copy of the exam fee payment challan.

There were also reports of mass copying at a centre located in Bandi Atmakur in Kurnool district and officials of the APPSC are to conduct an inquiry into the incident.

The government had made elaborate security arrangements at the exam centres after violent incidents were witnessed during the Group-I exam that was held in August.

The reason attributed to no trouble from T-activists is the fact that the posts under the Group-IV recruitment exam are district-level posts whereas the posts under the Group-I exam were statelevel posts.
