No. 02/2026 dated 05.05.2026. Both the Screening Test (OMR based) and the Written Test (conventional type) will be held on 04.10.2026 (Sunday) in two sittings on the same day. The list of eligible candidates will be uploaded on 23.09.2026 and the e-Admission Certificate will be available from 28.09.2026 on the Commission’s website — no intimation letter will be sent by post.

Update Overview

Important Dates

Exam Schedule

Both papers are held on the same day, so candidates should plan to be at the examination centre for the full day. The notification does not state the marks, the number of questions per paper, or any negative marking rule — those details are governed by the original Advt. No. 02/2026.

What This Means for You

1. Do not wait for a letter in the post — APSC has stated clearly that no intimation letter will be sent separately to eligible candidates.
2. Check the list of candidates on 23.09.2026 at apsc.nic.in and confirm your name appears on it.
3. Download your e-Admission Certificate from 28.09.2026 onwards from the APSC website — this is your responsibility, not the Commission’s.
4. Take a printout of the e-Admission Certificate and carry it along with a valid photo ID to the examination centre on 04.10.2026.
5. Keep your original documents in order. APSC has reserved the right to cancel the candidature of any candidate on verification of the application form at any time or stage, even after the Screening Test, if any eligibility condition of Advt. No. 02/2026 is not met.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Waiting for a postal intimation letter — APSC has explicitly said none will be sent, and candidates who wait will simply miss the exam.
• Skipping the candidate list on 23.09.2026 — if your name is not on it, that is the point at which to raise it with the Commission, not on exam day.
• Leaving the e-Admission Certificate download to the last day, when the APSC server is at its busiest.
• Assuming only one paper is being held — Paper I and Paper II are both on 04.10.2026, in the morning and afternoon sittings respectively.
• Reaching the centre without a printed e-Admission Certificate and a valid original photo ID.
• Treating a place on the candidate list as final confirmation of eligibility — APSC can cancel candidature at any stage on verification of the application form.
