Telangana HC rejects plea to postpone TGPSC AEE exams
The Story in Brief
The Telangana High Court on Friday (30 October 2026) refused to postpone the TGPSC Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) examinations scheduled for 6 and 7 November, rejecting a petition that cited a clash with the SSC Junior Engineer examinations from 2 to 6 November.
Justice K. Sarath heard the plea from U. Satish and six others, who argued that centres allotted in Mumbai, Pune, Thane and Nanded left candidates unable to return in time for the TGPSC exams. The TGPSC, represented by senior counsel P.S. Rajasekhar, said over 40,000 candidates were expected for the AEE exams against about 10,000 for the SSC-JE tests, and the schedule could not be altered. It offered to consider individual representations from affected candidates and facilitate their appearance at district headquarters.
The court directed the TGPSC to examine representations submitted by 5 pm on 30 October and take an appropriate decision, while declining to interfere with the examination schedule.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The court’s refusal to postpone the TGPSC AEE exams leaves candidates with two examination schedules overlapping across states a narrow window. Petitioners must now rely on the Commission’s offer to examine individual requests submitted by the evening of 30 October. The outcome for each affected candidate will depend on how flexibly the TGPSC interprets its own offer of facilitating appearance at district headquarters. The order does not resolve the logistical conflict for those whose SSC-JE centres are hundreds of kilometres away and whose AEE exam follows the next day.
