Overview
About this notification
Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission’s detailed Notification No. 07/2026 invites online applications for Group I services from 6 to 27 October 2026, closing at 11:59 PM. The recruitment covers posts including Deputy Collector, Assistant Commissioner of State Tax, Deputy Superintendent of Police, District Educational Officer and other specified services. Qualifications and age limits differ by post: a recognized bachelor’s degree is prescribed for several services, while the communications-police post requires the specified electronics or communication engineering qualification. Candidates must check the individual post-code requirements rather than assume one rule covers every service. The Deputy Collector pay scale is ₹61,960–₹1,51,370; other posts have their own listed scales. Applications are submitted through the Commission’s website using One Time Profile Registration. OTPR registration alone is not a post application. The notice states a ₹250 application-processing fee and category-based examination-fee exemptions. Selection uses the screening and main-examination scheme in the notification; applicants should read the detailed post tables and annexures before submitting.
