992 PhDs AMONG 1.9M FOR CLERICAL-LEVEL TEST

TAMIL NADU JOB TEST


CHENNAI/ INDIA  : The next time you visit a government office in the state, don't be surprised if some of the clerical staff rattle off complex theories-

In the basic sciences or speak about the intricacies of building power plants and bridges.

In an indication of the clamour for government jobs, a scarcely believable 992 PhD holders, 23,000  MPhil holders, 2.5 lakh post-graduates and eight lakh graduates were among the nearly 20 lakh applicants for the exams conducted across the state on February 11 by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission [TNPSC], seeking-

To fill 9,500 posts of typists, Village Administrative Officers [VAO] and stenographers, says a report  published in The Times Of India.

While data sourced from TNPSC shows that 19.83 lakh applied for the exam, a top official in the commission said more than 15 lakh had appeared for the exam.

While the required qualification was securing a pass in Class X, the number of graduates who applied for the exam outstripped those who had only cleared Class XII or Class X.

Non-engineering graduates -6.2 lakh-  accounted for the largest chunk of graduates among the applicants.
