Soon after assuming office, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy initiated reforms in the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) as per the norms of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The government removed all the hurdles related to the pending examinations and results that had accumulated till then. Also, steps were taken as a result of which TGPSC relaxed the age limit for recruitment to save the youth from the disadvantage as there were no job vacancies for ten years.

An annual job calendar has been announced in Telangana which is a unique initiative in the country. This modern system allows continuous process of recruitment of government jobs as per the calendar.
