Recruitment Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

The brief notification does not state an application fee. Look for it in the detailed notification.

Vacancy Details

The vacancy numbers are provisional. They can change once the department confirms them.

Eligibility Criteria

The qualification is still unknown, so read the detailed notification before you decide to apply.

Who Should Apply

• Treat this as an early notice: the qualification is not out yet, so wait for the detailed notification before you decide whether you are eligible.
• The qualification is counted as on the date of the detailed notification, not the last date to apply, so you must already hold it by then.
• Selection is one online exam with no screening test first, so your preparation can focus on a single stage; the scheme and syllabus are still to come.
• The three posts pay differently: Senior Lecturer (DIET) starts highest at Rs 61,960, while Lecturer (SCERT) has the highest upper limit at Rs 1,82,400.
• The count of 160 posts is provisional and may change after the department confirms it.

Selection Process

In short, one online exam is the whole selection as per this notice; it does not mention an interview or any other stage.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Do not send your application by post or any other route; only the online form is accepted.
• Do not wait for the last day, because APPSC itself asks candidates to apply well in advance to avoid the last-minute rush.
• Do not apply from this brief notice alone; the detailed notification is the crucial document for qualification and all other rules.
• Check the particulars you type into the form, since the notification asks you to enter them properly.
• Do not plan around the 160 count as final, because the department can still change it.
