Tamil
Nadu Public Service Commission will open 25 examination centres in
Chennai for the forthcoming examination in July. Earlier, there were
only four centres.
TNPSC
chairman R. Nataraj told The Hindu that the number of examination
centres has been increased to 245 from the earlier 104 to cover all the
taluks.
On Monday,
fourteen online facilitation centres for candidates registering
applications for the TNPSC were inaugurated in the city.
Of
this, nine centres would be operated in the post offices at Ambattur,
Avadi camp, Park Town, General Post Office, Tambaram, Ayanavaram,
Washermenpet, Greams Road and Vepery. The remaining would function in
the branches of Indian Bank.
Faster processing
“Earlier,
it took three or four months to process the applications and conduct
examinations. With the online system, we will be able to quicken the
processing within 40 days. It will be an easy option for the applicants
too,” Mr.Nataraj said.
TNPSC had recently announced that it would tie up with post offices and banks for online registration.
“We
plan to open nearly 500 centres across the State. In Chennai, we
propose to open 24 more centres in post offices and four more in banks,”
Mr.Nataraj said.
Positive response
In the past two days, 10,000 candidates have registered online for group-IV examination.
Nearly
40,000 people have made one-time registrations so far on the website.
The TNPSC would allot a permanent registration number to each candidate,
he said.
R.Venkataraman,
senior superintendent of post offices, city central division, said that
the centres at post offices would help candidates make the one-time
registration. They are equipped with computers with internet
connectivity and scanners to aid candidates.
The fee for the registration should be paid at the post office and receipts would be issued.
The
centres were inaugurated on Monday at a function organised at Greams
Road post office in which TNPSC secretary T. Udayachandran and postal
department's Assistant Director for business development in Chennai City
Region, L. Amalachandran, participated.
