The Telangana State Public Service Commission (TGPSC), formerly widely known as TSPSC, conducts recruitment examinations for eligible candidates applying to various Telangana state government posts.
As of 14 October 2026, a new Group-III Services recruitment notification for 2026–27 has not been confirmed in the official notification listings reviewed for this update. Candidates should therefore avoid relying on unofficial vacancy numbers, application dates or examination schedules until the Commission publishes a new notification.
The previous recruitment cycle was announced under Notification No. 29/2022. Its recruitment process included applications, a written examination and subsequent selection-related updates. The eligibility requirements, vacancies, fees and dates for that cycle should not automatically be treated as the rules for a future recruitment.
What is the TSPSC Group 3 Notification? It is the official legal document released by the Telangana State Public Service Commission to recruit personnel for non-gazette subordinate services. Specifically, it covers posts such as Junior Assistants, Senior Assistants, Typists, Stenographers, and Departmental Assistants. These roles form the operational tier of state bureaucracy, distinct from managerial Group 1 or supervisory Group 2 services. Moreover, what is often misunderstood is that this notification is dynamic; it includes post-wise qualifications, zonal classifications, and roster points that vary with every release.

MRO (Mandal Revenue Officer) posts come under
TSPSC Group 2 in Telangana — not Group 3.
MROs are Non-Gazetted Officers requiring Degree
qualification, recruited through TSPSC Group 2 at
tspsc.gov.in. VRO (Village Revenue Officer) posts are
recruited through a dedicated VRO notification 2026
Telangana at tspsc.gov.in — not under Group 2 or
Group 3. Furthermore, Municipal Commissioner Grade 3
Telangana posts may be covered under separate TSPSC
notifications — check tspsc.gov.in for specific municipal
department notifications.
TGPSC Group 3 and TSPSC Group 3 are the same examination
by the same official constitutional body. TGPSC is merely
an informal alternative term widely used by candidates and
coaching centres. The official correct name remains TSPSC.
Additionally, TGSPC is a common misspelling of TSPSC.
Always verify information exclusively at tspsc.gov.in
regardless of the search term used.
The TSPSC Endowment notification 2026 — also referred to
as EO notification 2026 — covers Junior Assistant, EO
Grade 3 (Executive Officer Grade 3) and Bill Collector
positions in the Endowment Services Department. Since
these posts may be notified as part of TSPSC Group 3 or
as separate Endowment Services notifications, candidates
must monitor tspsc.gov.in for both. Furthermore, the
TSPSC Endowment notification 2026 PDF download will be
available at tspsc.gov.in upon official release.

TSPSC Group 3 is the primary non-teaching permanent
government recruitment in Telangana covering administrative,
revenue and clerical roles. Furthermore, all 105 post
categories have no gender restriction — making it one of
the most broadly accessible permanent employment
opportunities for government jobs for women in Telangana.
Starting preparation with the official TSPSC syllabus
from tspsc.gov.in immediately after notification release
anchors the entire study plan. Since Telangana-specific
topics — geography, history, culture, welfare schemes —
appear heavily across Papers I and II, dedicated daily
study time on these areas significantly increases score
potential. Furthermore, schemes such as Rythu Bandhu,
Kalyana Lakshmi, Mission Bhagiratha and Dalit Bandhu
must receive thorough coverage throughout preparation.
