Give time to prepare for APPSCCE

Editor,

No other commission announces the topmost examination in any state in such a rush. The aspirants who persisted and the ones who looked for other ventures temporarily are both right in their own ways. Socioeconomic conditions also play a role. The latter group may be suffering under their current economic situation.

Sustainability plays an important role. To have to look after oneself and survive for such a prolonged period in such a situation, looking for greener pastures somewhere else, is of profound importance for some.

Terming the ones seeking postponement of the APPSCCE ‘non-serious’ doesn’t paint a good picture. Some are privileged enough to sustain for long, and others are running from pillar to post for survival.

The exams of the APSSB, the SSC, banking, etc, are factual enough, but the APPSCCE needs conceptual clarity. Both can’t sail on the same ship. We need to change shores. If they had at least announced the examination calendar a few months back, we would have already started sailing on the same cruise, just a few kilometres from the destination.

Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. Hope the commission will hear our pleas, sort out some amicable solution, and give us some vital few months for preparation.

It is imperative to include various perspectives of the aspirants in the frame, as they are the future steel frames of this state.
