According to Special Chief Secretary (School Education Dept) Ranjeev R Acharya, the decision has been taken for better uniformity, consistency and proper selection procedures.

The State Government has also decided for direct recruitment of principals, post-graduate teachers (PGTs) and trained graduate teachers (TGTs) in the Model Schools through TSPSC.

The State Government had issued a circular on March 2, 2015, requesting all the administrative departments to examine the feasibility of entrusting the task to fill up the direct recruitment posts in respect of corporations, public sector units, local bodies and other government entities under their administrative control through the TSPSC.
