Overview
About this notification
APPSC Brief Notification 11/2026 covers Assistant Director posts in Forensic Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Andhra Pradesh State Forensic Science Laboratory Service. Each discipline has its own postgraduate or expressly accepted alternative qualification. The engineering route names accepted BE/BTech specializations; Physics and Biology list particular related disciplines. The Chemistry route also accepts the specified BSc/AIC examination alternative. In addition, the notice requires at least five years practical experience in a Forensic Science, Chemistry, Analytical or Police Laboratory. Exceptionally good eyesight is required and colour blindness is a disqualification. Relevant-field experience is separately described as desirable, so that preference does not replace the mandatory laboratory-experience rule. Applications are invited from 6 October 2026 until 27 October 2026 at 23:59. The detailed notification governs age, reservation and the final conditions for each discipline. Apply through the Commission’s verified online application login, completing the required registration and selecting the exact notification. Enter qualifications and applicable claims accurately, upload the documents required by the detailed instructions, and pay only the fee shown for the eligible category. Applications submitted through other modes are not accepted. Keep the completed application and payment confirmation. The official notice provides the examination scheme and syllabus; the single-level recruitments specify a computer-based objective examination and explain normalization if conducted in multiple sessions. Check the Commission’s updates for schedules, detailed instructions and corrigenda. Possessing a minimum qualification does not by itself establish eligibility for every advertised service or reserve an appointment.
