Tech glitch delays Talathi exam, inquiry ordered

Mumbai: A top bureaucrat in the Maharashtra’s revenue department will conduct an inquiry into the reason behind a “technical glitch” in the TCS server that caused a two-hour delay in the start of recruitment examination for ‘talathis’ on Monday in the state, causing inconvenience to candidates, said a cabinet minister.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), responsible for conducting the online test, in a statement said, “As per the technical team, there was a central hardware issue which has impacted the exam start time (9 am which was pushed to 11 am) in all the exam centres.”
