The reforms were implemented as per the recommendations of a high-level committee headed by the then Special Chief
Secretary J Satyanarayana. The new system, wherein only written examinations would be conducted for all categories of posts, including Group-1 services, would be applicable for all recruitments to be notified from now on.
Meanwhile, the Andhra HC on Wednesday ordered that the Group-1 interview process be suspended for four weeks. The panel of judges issued the interim orders after hearing petitions challenging the digital evaluation of Group-1 Mains exam answer scripts.
Around 326 candidates were short-listed for the interview based on the marks scored by them in the main exam conducted from December 14 to 20, last year.
