The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has officially announced the tentative selection list for Group 2 Services for the year 2023 through its Notice No. 11. This significant development marks a crucial phase in the recruitment process for numerous aspirants seeking government positions in the state.
Selection Process and Candidate Details
This provisional list specifically pertains to candidates who have successfully navigated through multiple stages of the selection procedure. These individuals have cleared the Main Examination and subsequently undergone comprehensive verification processes including certificate verification, computer proficiency tests, and physical standards verification conducted by authorized medical boards.
In total, the commission has provisionally selected 891 candidates based on their performance in the Main Examination. The selection also considers the posts, zones, and district preferences that candidates exercised during the certification stage. The official notification has been issued from the APPSC headquarters located in Vijayawada.
Understanding the Provisional Selection Framework
The tentative selection follows the established process of direct recruitment for Group 2 Services, encompassing both general and limited categories. Candidates featured on this list have successfully passed all mandatory stages of the hiring procedure, including thorough verification of certifications and meeting physical fitness requirements as stipulated by the commission.
However, the commission has explicitly clarified that these provisional selections remain subject to decisions regarding writ petitions currently pending before the Honorable Andhra Pradesh High Court. Specifically, these include Writ Petitions No. 27119/2025 and 25040/2025, along with any other related cases that might be under judicial consideration.
Notably, candidates whose names appear in italics within the selection list have been tentatively selected, but their allocated posts and jurisdictions may potentially be altered based on court directives and final judgments.
Conditions Governing Provisional Selection
The APPSC has emphasized that successful examination clearance does not automatically guarantee appointment to a position. The appointing authority reserves the right to conduct necessary investigations into candidates' character and antecedents, and candidates must satisfy these requirements to proceed further.
Additionally, shortlisted applicants must be declared physically fit for their respective positions as per established standards. Selected candidates will be required to produce original certificates as requested by the appointing authority, in strict compliance with recruitment regulations and the stipulations outlined in Notification No. 11/2023.
The commission has issued a stern warning that if any candidate is discovered to have provided false information, or if the selection process is identified to have been compromised through acts of omission or commission, the provisional selection can be cancelled at any stage. In such cases, all resultant benefits and opportunities would be forfeited immediately.
Examination of Remaining Vacancies
The commission has also indicated that selections for any remaining vacancies will be revisited and addressed according to current rules, established procedures, and available avenues among qualified candidates from the Main Examination. This process will strictly follow the provisions stated in the initial recruitment notification.
