After years of patience, silence, and crushed hope, I can no longer stay quiet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s been four years since the PGT exam was first advertised on the year 2022. What followed after the infamous APPSC paper leak scandal was a chain of postponements, cancellations, and ultimately a complete halt. Since then, every passing year has tested our patience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the APPSC released its annual exam calendar in February 2025, stating that the PGT exam would be conducted or advertised in June, it gave us a moment of hope again. But now, as June is halfway gone, there is no advertisement, no clarification, no response &#8211; nothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I say this with a heavy heart and as respectfully as possible &#8211; if the commission fails to notify the exam in June as promised, it would be deeply shameful and irresponsible on its part. What is the value of a calendar that even the commission itself does not honour?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While other exams like AE, JE, and combined civil services are moving forward smoothly, teacher recruitment continues to be sidelined, as though the future of education doesn&#8217;t matter. This treatment makes me ask: Is the APPSC only meant to recruit engineers and civil servants? Are teachers not part of this state&#8217;s development?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After all the repeated failures in the last few years, I must honestly say that my faith in the commission is on the verge of collapse. And I know many others who feel the same. If this PGT exam is again postponed or ignored, it may be the last blow to our confidence in this system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I humbly urge the commission: please take the PGT examination as a priority, not as an afterthought. Don&#8217;t let more deserving candidates age out. Don&#8217;t let this silence turn into permanent hopelessness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We don&#8217;t ask for favours. We ask for fairness, action, and the dignity of being heard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>An aspirant <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor, I write this letter not as a mere complainant, but as one of the many frustrated and forgotten aspirants of the postgraduate teacher (PGT) examination in Arunachal Pradesh.
