How to apply, in four steps
- Register in OTPR first. A new user creates the One Time Profile Registration on psc.ap.gov.in and keeps the mobile number and email, because OTPs go there.
- Open the application. Log in with your OTPR ID, click Fill Application against Notification 23/2026, and check the pre-filled data.
- Upload and save. Add the JPG photo and signature, choose district preferences and test centres, then press Save & Submit. Only then does the payment link appear.
- Pay and download. Complete the payment, note the reference ID from the SMS and download the filled application PDF.
The most common slip is pressing only Save. The form is then stored but not submitted, and no fee link is generated.
I have no posts in my district, can I apply to another district?
This is a district-wise post, and the notification says the district is allotted from the preferences you give. Local reservation (95 percent under the Presidential Order 2025) goes to local candidates of each district. So give your preferences with care and read the Annexure-I break-up in the notification for the district and category numbers.
Non-creamy layer, EWS, disability and out-of-state candidates
BC candidates need a Non-Creamy Layer certificate from the Tahsildar issued on or after 01.04.2026 and not later than 05.11.2026. EWS claimants need an income certificate for FY 2025-26, in digital format, issued on or after 01.04.2026. Both are produced at certificate verification, so get them now rather than after the exam date.
BC-C and BC-E communities are not eligible for this post, as per Para 4.1 of the notification. Women get 33 1/3 percent horizontal reservation, so check Annexure-I for the break-up in your district.
Applicants from other states can apply but get no reservation and no fee exemption, except PBD and ex-servicemen. Candidates who migrated from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh between 2 June 2014 and 1 June 2024 must get a Local Status Certificate from the competent authority and produce it at verification. The post also needs the applicant to profess the Hindu religion (Section 29(3) of the A.P. Endowments Act).
Disability (PBD) candidates: what the notification asks
A person with benchmark disability means a disability of not less than 40 percent certified by a medical authority (hearing impairment is defined separately by decibel loss). The notification lists the disability categories and says posts are identified for each disability, so check the Annexure before claiming. You must hold the certificate in the prescribed format by the closing date, and evaluation follows G.O.Ms.No.36 of 23.08.2023. The notification does not say what to do if your card is not yet issued, so write to the Commission through the contact details on psc.ap.gov.in before you pay.
Equivalent-qualification claims need a copy of the Government Order sent to the Commission within 10 days of the last date, or the application is rejected.
Checklist before you submit
- Photo and signature are your own, JPG, and open without errors.
- The name matches your certificates, because name cannot be corrected later.
- District preferences and test centres are filled.
- Local status, white card and category details are right in OTPR, since they decide the fee.
- NCL or EWS certificate carries a date on or after 01.04.2026.
- You pressed Save & Submit and saved the payment reference and the PDF.
If the portal throws a size or dimension error, the fix is in our upload error guide. For a signature taken on a phone, see how to scan a signature on your phone. The same commission's other open post is covered in the APPSC Forest Range Officer guide.
