APPSC Probation Officer Recruitment 2026

APPSC Probation Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has announced regular direct recruitment for District Probation Officer Grade-II and Intake Probation Officer in the Andhra Pradesh Juvenile Welfare Correctional Sub Service. This is a general recruitment under a shared notification covering both designations. The Commission has issued a brief notice with an annexure, while the detailed recruitment terms will follow separately.

Posts and Disciplines

• District Probation Officer Grade-II: This designation belongs to the state’s Juvenile Welfare Correctional Sub Service and appears in the same recruitment entry as Intake Probation Officer. The brief notice does not identify individual districts or offices for appointment.
• Intake Probation Officer: This designation is also part of the same sub service. APPSC presents the posts together, so the notice does not establish a separate allocation for each designation.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Provisional recruitment position: APPSC may change the announced intake after the concerned department confirms its requirements. Treat the present allocation as provisional until that confirmation. The brief notice does not provide a final post-wise or community-wise distribution.
• Detailed terms will follow: The Commission says a detailed notification will carry the recruitment conditions and further instructions. Read that document when it appears, because the brief announcement does not provide the complete terms you will need to consider before applying.
• Reference notification: APPSC identifies the date of the detailed notification as the crucial reference date for this recruitment. The brief notice’s issue date should not be substituted for that reference date. The detailed notification will establish the date to use.
• Recruitment identity: Both designations fall under the Juvenile Welfare Correctional Sub Service. When reviewing later instructions, check that they refer to this service and these posts so that you use the terms attached to the correct recruitment.
• Form accuracy: APPSC asks you to read its detailed instructions carefully and enter your particulars correctly. Your entries need to reflect your own information and the conditions of this recruitment. The brief notice does not describe a correction facility, so it provides no basis to promise that you can change an entry later.

• Keep probation case records accurate and confidential.
• Assess the social circumstances and support needs of assigned juveniles.
• Prepare case reports for juvenile welfare and correctional authorities.
• Coordinate rehabilitation support with families and welfare services.
• Monitor progress in assigned probation and rehabilitation cases.
• Record intake information and help plan suitable support for each case.
