TDP’s ‘mega’ DSC took 10 months
Andhra’s TDP-led government scrapped a ready 6,100-teacher drive, promised bigger, then took nearly ten months to even notify it. Telangana teachers know this trick: cancel now, claim scale later.
The 16,347-post teacher recruitment notification was issued in April 2025, nearly ten months after the earlier drive was cancelled.
Andhra Pradesh had a live teacher-recruitment path on 9 February 2024 — permission to fill 6,100 posts under “Mission Zero vacancies of teachers from the starting of Academic Year 2024-25,” according to the government order. The TDP-led government binned that notification on 30 June 2024, a fact the High Court records in black and white.
What followed was theatre. The School Education Department says the Chief Minister signed to begin a “Mega DSC” for 16,347 posts on 13 June 2024. The actual notification? 20 April 2025. From file-note to notification is about ten months and a week. From the day they cancelled the smaller, ready-to-run drive to the day they finally issued the big one is just under ten months.
And when the notification finally arrived, candidates from the cancelled round were told to reapply — no fee, but no carry-forward either. The department’s own note insists the 2025 process would be “transparent, unbiased, and efficient.” The timeline speaks for itself.
The TDP government in Andhra traded a shovel-ready 6,100 for a headline 16,347 and made everyone wait nearly a school year to see the paperwork. That’s not capacity; that’s calendar management for press conferences.
