APPSC 2026 Eligibility – Age Limit
None of the 20 Brief Notifications (07/2026 to 26/2026) mention the exact minimum and maximum age limit for the respective posts. This is normal practice for APPSC – the Brief Notification is only a preliminary announcement, and the precise age limit, age relaxation for reserved categories, and cut-off date for age reckoning are always published in the Detailed Notification.
As a general reference (based on the pattern usually followed in comparable APPSC Group Services and Subordinate Service recruitments), the age limit is typically 18 to 42 years for General/OC category candidates, with standard AP Government age relaxations of 5 years for BC candidates, 5 years for SC/ST candidates, 10 years for Persons with Disabilities (PwD), and additional relaxation for Ex-servicemen as per rules in force. This is only indicative – candidates must rely solely on the age limit figures published in each post's own Detailed Notification.
Exact age limit, relaxation, and the crucial/cut-off date for age calculation for all 20 posts will be notified in the respective Detailed Notifications. Do not calculate your eligibility based on the general reference above.
