Overview
The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has released the Departmental Test Result 2026 for the May 2026 session under Notification No. 03/2026. The results were declared on 17 August 2026 through separate PDFs for 65 paper codes; this is a departmental examination, so no posts or vacancies are attached to the result notification.
Candidates who appeared for the examination can visit psc.ap.gov.in and search for their register numbers in the relevant paper-wise result PDF. The published lists should be checked carefully because results are organised by paper code rather than through a common merit list.

Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
- Departmental Tests are primarily intended for eligible employees serving under the Andhra Pradesh government and other categories permitted by APPSC rules.
- The required qualification and service status may differ depending on the department, paper code and test concerned.
- Candidates must have met the conditions prescribed for their chosen paper at the time of submitting the online application.
- A general degree requirement should not be assumed for every paper; the detailed notification and applicable departmental service rules remain authoritative.
Age Limit
- No common recruitment-style minimum or maximum age limit is specified in the result notice.
- Eligibility is generally determined by the candidate’s service category, departmental status and the rules applicable to the selected test.
- Any relaxation or special permission is governed by APPSC instructions and relevant service regulations.
Fees
- Candidates were required to pay the examination fee applicable to the papers selected in the application.
- Paper-wise fees, processing charges and exemptions, if any, were governed by Notification No. 03/2026.
- The result announcement does not introduce any fresh fee for checking or downloading the PDFs.
Selection Process
- Application scrutiny: APPSC verifies the online application, selected paper codes, fee payment and candidate eligibility.
- Departmental examination: Eligible applicants appear for the prescribed written or objective test for their respective paper codes.
- Result declaration: Register numbers of successful candidates are published in paper-wise PDFs, followed by departmental action or service-related processing wherever applicable.
Qualifying a Departmental Test does not automatically amount to recruitment or appointment. Its effect on confirmation, promotion, increment or another service benefit depends on the rules of the employee’s department.
