Mega DSC-2025 recruitment process, defended by Nara Lokesh, labeled as transparent, merit-based, and legally compliant, prompted YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to substantiate its allegations in the Legislative Assembly. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, in the State Assembly, challenged Opposition to debate, accusing them of adopting 'hit-and-run' politics by making allegations outside the House.
The process, involving 16,347 teacher posts and 336,300 applications, was completed within 148 days, with 16,291 candidates issued call letters post verification. Measures adopted included Aadhaar-based OTP authentication, CCTV surveillance, and physical inspection of examination centers. 87.8% of candidates received their first-choice centers.
A scientific normalisation procedure was applied for candidates in different sessions. Out of 336 cases filed, the government completed recruitment despite legal challenges. Lokesh announced three more DSC recruitments, including a fresh notification for 3,000 posts this year.
