The Story in Brief
The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has increased Group I exam vacancies from 26 to 46 through an addendum, after candidates complained the initial notification was too low. The Hindu reports TNPSC chairman S.K. Prabakar promised further hikes. Lakhs of aspirants had protested on social media, noting the 26 vacancies were the fewest in years. Separately, TNPSC opened Group 2 exam registration for 780 posts, with preliminary exams scheduled for November 1.
The Indian Opinion
The complaints against TNPSC reflect genuine frustration, but the narrative that the government has abandoned its promise is premature. The commission has already increased vacancies by over 75 per cent, with more likely. The real test will be the final Group I tally after all addendums, and whether Group 2 and 2A vacancies also rise to meet aspirant numbers. A single number will settle this: the total posts notified by year-end.
