TGPSC Notes
Are you currently working?
My sincere suggestion to those who are currently not working and preparing for UPSC Or TGPSC jobs only to apply and prepare for all the job notifications to which you are eligible. Do not stick to only one particular job.

As we are all aware that competitive exam preparation is very uncertain in this huge competition era.

Once you are financially independent you will be under less pressure.
