A recognised Bachelor's degree is the basic qualification for all posts, held as on 10 November 2026. Some posts need a specific degree: Assistant Section Officer (Finance) needs a degree in Mathematics, Economics or Commerce; Assistant Section Officer (Law) needs a Law degree; Senior and Junior Accountant posts need a degree plus a specified computer certificate course or an accepted computer-related degree such as BCA, B.Sc. Computer Science or B.E./B.Tech. in Computer Science or IT. Prohibition and Excise Sub-Inspector candidates must meet the prescribed physical standards, including height, chest and vision requirements.

The age limit is 18 to 44 years as on 01 July 2026 for most posts, with Prohibition and Excise Sub-Inspector at 18 to 30 years and Municipal Commissioner Grade-III at 21 to 44 years. Age relaxations apply for SC, ST, BC, EWS, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, Ex-Servicemen and other categories named in the notification.

Fee

The application fee is Rs. 330 in total — Rs. 250 as application processing fee plus Rs. 80 as examination fee — payable online only. The Rs. 80 examination fee is exempted for SC, ST, BC, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, Ex-Servicemen, families holding a Household Supply White Card (Andhra Pradesh residents) and unemployed youth under G.O.Ms.No.439, so exempted candidates pay Rs. 250 only.

The Screening Test is an offline OMR paper held on 21 February 2027: General Studies and Mental Ability, 150 questions, 150 marks, 150 minutes, with one-third mark deducted for each wrong answer. The Main Examination is a Computer Based Recruitment Test; its date will be announced later.
