Key Change in APPSC Screening Test Policy

Until now, the APPSC screening test was conducted only when the number of applicants exceeded 25,000 candidates. However, under the new guidelines released by the government, this rule has been abolished.

What’s the New APPSC Screening Test Rule?

From now on, a screening test will only be conducted if the number of applicants exceeds 200 times the total number of available posts.

For example, if there are 100 vacancies, a screening test will be conducted only if more than 20,000 candidates apply.

This major reform is expected to:

  • Streamline the recruitment process across APPSC job notifications
  • Eliminate unnecessary screening exams for smaller recruitments
  • Reduce candidate stress and preparation time
  • Speed up job selections under APPSC recruitment 2025

Experts believe this single-stage examination system for most posts will benefit lakhs of aspirants preparing for APPSC Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, and other state-level competitive exams.

The revised APPSC screening test pattern 2025 will make Andhra Pradesh government job recruitment more efficient, transparent, and candidate-friendly. Aspirants are advised to stay updated through official APPSC notifications and adjust their APPSC exam preparation strategy accordingly.
