Editor,

I am an agriculture graduate applying for agriculture development officer, which has been in the calendar for the last two years. It was supposed to be held in September of 2025, but was postponed to May 2026, and has been advertised now in September. Hope it will be conducted before APPSCCE 2026 this time, without wasting more of our time.

Although it is not fair to us, it is being held parallel to the state civil service exams, but we hope that it is arranged in such a way that we get ample time to prepare for the mains for state civil service. Also, I request that waiting list for ADOs be kept, so that if someone gets selected in both, those opting for civil service won't waste ADO seats.

Hope the chairman and secretary will take necessary action, so that we candidates may not get trapped and waste opportunities.

A candidate
