A total of 55,005 candidates applied from Telangana, with 29,142 aspirants appearing for the examination in Hyderabad and Warangal.

At the all India level, over 13,000 aspirants have been declared qualified for the Main examination which will be held from September 16 for five days. The results of the Main examination are expected within three months.

“In the present scheme of examination, the preliminary has become the most formidable hurdle. This year the preliminary examination had many conceptual questions which required deep work from the aspirant. Many aspirants would have missed the minimum qualifying mark due to the penalty clause which is imposed for incorrect answers. The minimum qualifying mark for the general category is expected to have been around 44 per cent,” said Gopala Krishna, Director, Brain Tree, Hyderabad
