TSPSC Town Planning Assistant Recruitment 2026 is officially out, and it’s good news if you’re a B.Planning or B.Tech (Planning) graduate looking for a government career in Telangana. The Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) has released Notification No. 06/G/TP/2026 for 7 vacancies in the Town and Country Planning Department. Online applications open on 15th July 2026 and close on 22nd August 2026 at www.tgpsc.gov.in.
Yes, 7 vacancies might sound small compared to mega recruitment drives, but that’s exactly what makes this notification worth your attention — fewer seats usually mean the competition is limited to candidates who actually hold the specific B.Planning/B.Tech (Planning) qualification, not the entire graduate pool.

On top of the basic pay, you’re entitled to Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and other state government employee benefits as applicable to Telangana state government staff. This is one of the better-paying entry-level technical posts on offer among current Telangana state government jobs, especially given the specialised nature of the planning qualification required.

TGPSC Town Planning Assistant Selection Process 2026
Selection is based entirely on your performance in the written exam — there’s no interview or physical test involved.
- Objective Type Written Examination – CBRT or OMR-based, as decided by the Commission
- Certificate Verification – for candidates who qualify the written exam
Qualifying marks: OC/Sportspersons/EWS – 40%, BCs – 35%, SC/ST/PH – 30%
TSPSC Town Planning Assistant Exam Pattern 2026
| Paper | Subject | Questions | Duration | Marks | Medium |

| Paper-II | Planning (Degree Level) | 150 | 150 minutes | 300 | English only |

Notice how Paper-II carries double the weight of Paper-I — your core planning subject knowledge is what will really decide your rank here, so budget your preparation time accordingly rather than splitting it 50-50.
