The Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, issued a notification for recruitment to posts of Mandal Planning and Statistical Officers and Assistant Statistical Officers in the Directorate of Economics and Statistics. Telangana Today reports 103 posts, while Siasat reports 102 posts. Applications can be submitted online from October 30 to November 27.

The posts are in the zonal cadre with a pay scale of Rs 36,750 to Rs 1,06,990, according to Siasat. Applicants must be between 18 and 44 years old as on July 1, 2026. Siasat notes the last general recruitment for these posts in 2018 covered 474 posts with a lower pay scale of Rs 24,440 to Rs 71,510. The detailed notification is available on the TGPSC website.
Both Telangana Today and Siasat report the same core facts of the TGPSC recruitment notification with identical application dates and process. The only factual difference is the vacancy count: Telangana Today says 103 posts, while Siasat says 102. Neither outlet provides a framing slant, both are straight news agency-style reports. The pay scale and age criteria appear only in Siasat's coverage. The 2018 comparison, which highlights a much larger earlier drive, also comes from Siasat alone. The balanced reading is that TGPSC has opened a modest recruitment round, and candidates should check the official notification for the exact vacancy number.
The application window closes on November 27.
