more-inConducting online tests for recruitment in the State services in eight Indian languages successfully, the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) has created a new path in the online examination systems in the country. Out of the eight languages, six are vernacular languages — Urdu, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, and Bengali, apart from English. “It is also for the first time that a test in Hindi is being conducted online in a southern State,” TSPSC Chairman Ghanta Chakrapani said. The challenge was not confined to the languages but conducting the subject papers in vernacular languages, given the constraints in translations for the online mode. The TSPSC conducted the tests in mathematics, physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, and physical education, and all these are being conducted online for the first time.
