Why is there rush to conduct Tamil Nadu TRB exams?: TTV Dhinakaran urges postponement of exam amid candidates' concerns over new syllabus

AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran demands Tamil Nadu TRB delay PGT exam scheduled for Oct 12, citing insufficient preparation time for candidates facing new syllabus.

"Why is there a rush to conduct the examination for the postgraduate teacher position? - TTV Dhinakaran"

Chennai, October 9

Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran on Thursday urged the Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) to postpone the upcoming Postgraduate Teacher (PGT) examination, scheduled for October 12. His appeal comes to allow candidates more preparation time following the introduction of a new syllabus this year.

In a post shared on X, AMMK General Secretary said, "Why is there a rush to conduct the examination for the postgraduate teacher position? - The Teachers Recruitment Board should come forward to postpone the examination to allow candidates to prepare in accordance with the new syllabus."

Dhinakaran further said that according to the emerging reports, the TRB has decided to move ahead with the exam as scheduled, even after the Madras High Court directed it to consider postponing the date in response to a case pursued by the candidates.

"Reports have emerged that the Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board has announced that the examination for the postgraduate teacher position, scheduled for October 12, will proceed as planned, despite the continuous requests from candidates to postpone it," he said.

"Even though the High Court has ordered consideration of postponing the examination date in a case pursued by the candidates, the Teachers Recruitment Board's stubborn insistence on conducting the examination as scheduled has caused significant dissatisfaction among the candidates," Dhinakaran added.

Dhinakaran further said that due to the introduction of the new syllabus, candidates have been continuously demanding additional time. "Given that the syllabus for the postgraduate teacher position examination has been revised this year, candidates have been continuously demanding additional time to fully prepare themselves for the examination in accordance with the new syllabus," he said.

Urging the Teachers Recruitment Board to accept the candidates' requests for more preparation time, Dhinakaran said, "Therefore, I urge the Teachers Recruitment Board and the Tamil Nadu government to accept the candidates' requests, postpone the examination for the postgraduate teacher position scheduled for October 12, and conduct the examination after the candidates have prepared according to the new syllabus. @CMOTamilnadu."

The government should listen to the genuine concerns of candidates. When syllabus changes, adequate time must be given. This rush doesn't benefit anyone - neither students nor the education system. Postponement is the sensible solution.

While I understand the candidates' frustration, exams have deadlines and postponing affects the entire academic calendar. Maybe the TRB could consider providing additional study materials or resources instead? 🤔

This is typical bureaucratic attitude - no concern for students' welfare. When High Court has given direction, why is TRB being so stubborn? Education department should show more empathy towards future teachers. #SupportTRBCandidates

My sister is preparing for this exam and she's completely stressed out. The new syllabus requires at least 2-3 months of proper preparation. Conducting exam now will only lead to poor results. Government should reconsider! 😟

Good to see political leaders taking up genuine student issues. Education policies should be student-friendly. Hope the authorities listen and do the right thing by postponing the exam for fair preparation time.
