TGPSC compulsory OTR updation

At present, around 31.56 lakh candidates are registered in the OTR system. The Commission has decided that all future notifications, applications, results and final selections would be processed strictly based on the data available in the OTR. All future notifications, applications, results, and final selections will rely on candidates’ unique OTR data, the Commission said, adding that the mandatory update of these details is required in light of the recent categorisation of Scheduled Castes and changes in candidates’ educational qualifications.

“This initiative is part of the Commission’s efforts to ensure faster completion of recruitment processes, early declaration of results and timely issue of appointment orders and to avoid delays caused by data discrepancies and incomplete documentation,” it said.
