APPSC releases list of provisionally selected candidates for Thanedar, Lecturer posts

The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) announced on its official portal a provisional list of candidates who have cleared the initial screening for the Thanedar (police constable) and Lecturer posts. The list, which is the first step in a multi‑stage recruitment process, includes applicants who met the eligibility criteria set out in the 2026 notification. APPSC routinely publishes such lists to maintain transparency and to allow candidates to prepare for the next phases of selection.

Candidates who appear on the provisional list will soon be informed about the dates and venues for the walking test, a physical fitness assessment that is mandatory for the Thanedar role. The walking test evaluates endurance, speed, and overall physical readiness, which are essential qualities for frontline policing duties. In parallel, the Lecturer candidates will undergo a separate evaluation that focuses on subject knowledge and teaching aptitude. Both groups will also be required to undergo a medical examination to confirm that they meet the health standards prescribed by the commission.

The release of the provisional list is significant for thousands of job seekers in Andhra Pradesh, a state where government positions are highly sought after due to job security and benefits. The APPSC’s transparent approach helps reduce speculation and ensures that the recruitment process proceeds in an orderly fashion. Candidates are advised to keep their contact details up to date on the portal and to monitor official communications for further instructions. The commission has warned that any discrepancy in the information provided may lead to disqualification at later stages.
