SALEM: Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) Chairman A.M. Kasi Viswanathan appealed to students to come forward to appear for the competitive examinations conducted by various recruitment agencies of the Central and State governments including the TNPSC. Students should prepare for the competitive examinations during their college days and try to appear for the tests immediately after completing their undergraduate programme, he told mediapersons here on Monday.
But a majority of the students coming out the colleges were not showing interest in appearing for the competitive examinations to get the government employment. “There are a number of opportunities available with the government departments,” he said. The Commission, he said, was conducting awareness programmes in different parts of the State to encourage the younger generation to appear for the competitive examinations. Later, addressing a gathering of students at Government Arts College, Mr. Kasi Viswanathan said that perseverance and hard work were vital to emerge successful in the competitive examinations. Students should put in wholehearted efforts during their college days to improve their general knowledge, logical and language skills. A number of candidates coming from the rural areas were found lacking good communication skills. Women candidates were found poor in current affairs. About 30 per cent of the posts were reserved for women. But many educated women were not applying for the government posts. This trend should change.
Mr. Kasi Viswanathan urged the students to develop the habit of reading newspapers. The Commission had ensured greater transparency in the conduct of the competitive examinations.
Joint Director of Collegiate Education Ramamoorthy, College Principal Seetharaman and senior faculty members were present.
