Environmental Science graduates excluded from Telangana PCB recruitment, seek change in eligibility; applications deadline on July 17

Graduates holding degrees in Environmental Science have raised concerns over the eligibility criteria for the ongoing Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) recruitment. The candidates argue that despite having the specialized academic training necessary for the roles, they have been sidelined in favor of other engineering disciplines.

Students pointed out that approximately 75% of the official examination syllabus directly matches their M.Sc. coursework. This overlap, they claim, demonstrates their suitability for the technical positions advertised, yet the current rules prevent them from submitting applications.

The deadline for the recruitment process is set for July 17. The affected graduates are now seeking immediate intervention from state authorities to amend the recruitment rules and allow Environmental Science degree holders to participate in the competitive exams.
