APPSC Hostel Welfare Officer Recruitment 2026 — 73 Vacancies

APPSC Hostel Welfare Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has announced regular direct recruitment for Hostel Welfare Officer Grade II in Andhra Pradesh. The notice covers the Social Welfare, Tribal Welfare and Backward Classes Welfare subordinate services within a shared recruitment exercise. The announcement is a brief notification, with a detailed notice to provide the remaining conditions before applications open.

Posts and Disciplines

• Social Welfare: The Hostel Welfare Officer Grade II role sits within the A.P. Social Welfare Subordinate Service. This service has its own post code in the combined notice.
• Tribal Welfare: The same grade of Hostel Welfare Officer is listed under the A.P. Tribal Welfare Subordinate Service. Keep the service name in mind when checking the detailed post information.
• Backward Classes Welfare: This role belongs to the A.P. Backward Classes Welfare Subordinate Service. It forms part of the same advertised recruitment window, rather than a separate application announcement.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Departmental confirmation: The advertised position is provisional. APPSC may revise it once the departments confirm their requirements, so the initial announcement does not guarantee that the final position will be identical.
• Detailed notification: The brief notice leaves further recruitment conditions to a later document. Read that document before applying, especially when deciding which service-specific post is relevant to you.
• Controlling reference: APPSC identifies the detailed notification as the crucial reference for this exercise. The brief announcement and its attached scheme should therefore be read together with the later instructions.
• Correct particulars: You need to enter your details carefully after reading the commission’s instructions. The shared post title makes it especially useful to check the full service name against the post you intend to choose.

• Manage the daily running of the assigned welfare hostel.
• Monitor student welfare and report concerns promptly.
• Keep hostel attendance and administrative records.
• Coordinate meals, cleanliness and basic hostel facilities.
• Support students in following study and hostel routines.
• Prepare reports for the relevant welfare department.
