The State Government of Tamil Nadu has made an announcement declaring that over 50 degree courses of different faculties that are offered by some institutions and universities will not qualify for the state government jobs.
The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (abbreviated as TNPSC) held its 60th ‘Balanced Level Council Meeting’ last month. The Balanced level Council Administrators and the TNPSC Member Secretary had participated in the meeting. The members at the meeting conclusively decided that certain degree courses offered by the faculties of some educational institutions and universities are not good enough to be considered as proper qualifications for government jobs.
