APPSC announces Computer Proficiency Test schedule for in-service employees

The Andhra Pradesh State Public Service Commission (APPSC) has released the official schedule for the upcoming Computer Proficiency Test (CPT) aimed at in-service employees of the state government. This assessment is a mandatory requirement for many civil servants to demonstrate their digital literacy and operational skills in using standard office software. The commission has designated specific centers to ensure accessibility for candidates working in different parts of the state, reflecting the government's ongoing push to modernize its administrative processes through digital tools.

The examination is set to take place on October 30 and 31, with an additional session scheduled for November 1. Candidates will be able to appear for the test in five key districts: Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, NTR, Tirupati, and Anantapur. The November 1 session will be held exclusively at the NTR district center. This distribution of test centers allows employees to choose a location that minimizes travel time, ensuring that professional duties do not significantly conflict with the examination schedule.

For government employees in Andhra Pradesh, passing this test is often linked to career progression and eligibility for certain promotions or specialized roles. The emphasis on computer proficiency highlights the broader administrative shift toward digitization, where manual processes are being replaced by digital workflows. Employees are advised to review the detailed notification for specific time slots and registration deadlines to avoid last-minute issues.
