APPSC AEE Recruitment 2026: departments and provisional vacancies

The brief notification lists the provisional vacancies department by department. Post code 01 covers Assistant Executive Engineers (Civil) in the Public Health and Municipal Engineering Department, with 21 vacancies. Post code 02 covers the Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Engineering Department, with 100 vacancies, the largest share listed. Post code 03 covers the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department, with 73 vacancies. Post code 04 covers Assistant Executive Engineers (Civil) in the Roads and Buildings Department, with 75 vacancies, while post code 05 covers the Electrical wing of the same department, with 4 vacancies. Post code 06 covers the Tribal Welfare Engineering Department, with 6 vacancies. Post codes 07 and 08 cover the Civil and Mechanical wings of the Water Resources Department, and their figures sit in the detailed notification, which carries the full breakup.

That provisional label matters: the commission says the figures are subject to variation once departments confirm them, so they should be read as the brief notification's provisional position, not a final guarantee. The widely reported total of 503 posts is consistent with that provisional position, and applicants should treat it the same way: a reported provisional total, to be confirmed against the detailed notification before applying.

Who can apply for APPSC AEE posts

Eligibility follows the engineering stream of each post. Civil posts require a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from a recognised university, or a pass in Sections A and B of the AMIE (India) examination in Civil Engineering. Panchayat Raj posts accept Civil or Mechanical degrees or the AMIE equivalent, and the notification also recognises a B.Sc. (Engg.) from Ranchi University as equivalent. Electrical posts require an Electrical degree or the AMIE equivalent, and Tribal Welfare and Water Resources posts follow the same Civil and Mechanical pattern. The minimum and maximum age limits are reckoned as on 1 July 2026, giving the 18 to 44 years band stated in the table.

These are Andhra Pradesh state government posts, and applicants must satisfy the commission's eligibility conditions in full, including the citizenship and qualification conditions set out in the detailed notification. The brief notification is explicit: applicants must hold the requisite qualification as on the date of the detailed notification, and should read it and its instructions carefully before filling in the form.

The APPSC AEE exam: single level, no screening test

The examination consists of a single-level examination only, with no screening test irrespective of the number of applications. It will run in online computer-based recruitment test mode, with normalisation of marks where multiple sessions make it necessary. The scheme and syllabus are annexed to the notification.

The written examination carries 450 marks across three papers of 150 each. Paper 1, General Studies and Mental Ability, is common to all post codes. Paper 2 covers Civil and Mechanical Engineering for post codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8, and Electrical Engineering for post code 5. Paper 3 follows the candidate's stream: Civil for post codes 1, 3, 4 and 7, Civil and Mechanical for post codes 2 and 6, Electrical for post code 5 only, and Mechanical for post code 8 only. Candidates appear in the papers of their degree subject, and each wrong answer loses one third of the question's marks.

How to apply for APPSC AEE Recruitment 2026

Applications are accepted only online on the commission's website; any application sent another way will not be entertained. Candidates should first read the detailed notification, which the commission said would be available on or before 2 November 2026 and which carries the vacancy breakup, the community-wise position, and the full instructions. The commission advises applying well in advance of the last date and entering particulars properly in the form. The application fee and category-wise details sit in that detailed notification, so confirm them there rather than relying on summaries.

For comparison, the OPSC Assistant Executive Engineer recruitment of 758 posts followed a different selection pattern, while the commission's own APPSC Group-II recruitment of 686 posts shows how Andhra Pradesh's large drives typically publish provisional figures before a detailed notification — the same two-step shape as this AEE drive.

What to watch next

First, check the detailed notification on psc.ap.gov.in and confirm the final vacancy breakup, the application fee, and the community-wise distribution before submitting. Second, note the hard close at 11:59 PM on 22 November 2026, and apply well in advance rather than on the last day. Third, watch for the examination schedule after the window closes. Readers in Nepal should note this is an Indian state government recruitment: the only safe channel is the commission's own website, so never pay an agent who promises a seat, and never trust a form or payment link that does not come from psc.ap.gov.in.
