The complete syllabus of Telugu for the UPSC Civil Services Mains exam.

HYDERABAD: Telugu medium aspirants already feeling hard done by results of the GroupI exam, have cause for more heartache as students who attended the Junior Lecturers' and Group II exams say translation blunders can also cost them dearly.Speaking to Express, T Saidi Reddy, a GroupII aspirant from Nalgonda said at least 20 questions out of the total 150 in each of the three papers had been in English. As Reddy had done all his studies up to graduation in Telugu medium, he was not able to answer 60 questions. "I had put in three years of time for preparation for the exams. Now my hopes of getting a good government job are dashed due to the blunders made by the APPSC."Several candidates said around 90 per cent aspirants attending APPSC examinations were from Telugu medium, but the commission was putting no efforts to prepare questions in Telugu properly.
