APPSC tweaks recruitment exam norms for govt jobs: Check details
According to the report, the APPSC is planning to conduct the preliminary exam only if the number of applications received exceeds 200 times the number of posts notified.
The report added that currently, both prelims and mains exams take place if the number of applications crosses 25,000, despite the number of vacancies.
However, considering it an unnecessary expenditure and waste of time, the APPSC is now mulling a new filtering system. In case this proposal is accepted, several Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission recruitments may be conducted with just one exam instead of two.
Meanwhile, a report by Career360 stated that the Andhra Pradesh government has accepted the proposal and implemented it in the recently announced recruitment for Forest Section and Beat officer in the Andhra Pradesh Forest Subordinate Service.
In case a notification is issued for 100 posts, the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission would have conducted a preliminary (prelims) exam only if more than 20,000 applications are received. Otherwise, the APPSC may directly conduct a single-stage recruitment process or the mains exam.
Established under Article 315 of the Indian Constitution, the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) is a constitutional body which conducts recruitment to various civil services and government posts in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
a) Conduct competitive examinations, interviews, and departmental tests for the state government.
b) Advises the government on matters related to recruitment rules and others.
c) Prepare exam syllabi for various government job exams.
d) Release notifications for Group-I, Group-II, Group-III, and Group-IV services. It also releases notifications for other technical and non-technical posts.

'India Won't Bow Down': PM Modi's Sharp Message as Trump Doubles Tariffs
"India will never compromise on the interest of its farmers, livestock rearers, and fishermen. I know I will have to pay a heavy price, but I'm ready," says PM Modi as Trump doubles tariffs on India to 50%"It's a big message to Trump. PM has not named him, but it's clear," News18's @AmanKayamHai_In a powerful address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a strong and unmistakable message amid escalating trade tensions with the United States. Without directly naming former U.S. President Donald Trump, PM Modi declared that India will never compromise on the interests of its farmers, livestock rearers, and fishermen, even if he has to "pay a heavy price."This comes just as Trump announced a dramatic tariff hike on Indian goods—doubling tariffs to 50%, a move that's already rattling global trade observers. Modi's defiant tone is being widely interpreted as a direct rebuttal to Trump's protectionist push. n18oc_indiaNews18 Mobile App -
