APSP Multi-Post Recruitment 2026 — 37 Vacancies

APSP Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

7th India Reserve Battalion, Andhra Pradesh Special Police (APSP) is hiring support staff on an outsourcing basis at Maddipadu in Prakasam district. The drive covers office records, administrative support, cooking, laundry, grooming and sanitation work needed for the battalion's daily operation. These are full-time outsourced assignments under Andhra Pradesh government rules, not regular appointments to the police service.

The notice gives each trade its own practical selection route, so you should choose the post that matches your education and hands-on ability. Telugu reading and writing are important for most support trades, while office roles use school-level language, general knowledge and mathematics. Trade applicants are judged on actual work such as food preparation, laundry care, hair cutting or cleaning, rather than certificates alone.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Outsourcing status: Appointment does not make you a member of the regular service or give preference for another government appointment.
• Minimum service: You must serve for at least 1 year. Leaving earlier without taking a permanent government job requires forfeiting Rs. 10,000 under an affidavit or bond.
• Availability: Staff must stay at the bona fide headquarters and remain available for emergency call duty.
• Leave: Outsourced staff receive one casual leave per month; eligible married women receive paid maternity leave under the cited government order.
• Benefits: EPF and ESI apply where admissible under the outsourcing arrangement.
• Conduct: The department can end the assignment for administrative or disciplinary reasons, and outside private practice is not allowed during the contract.
• Communication: A working mobile number and email are essential because test details are sent through calls, SMS or email. A missed test is not rescheduled.
• Tie-break: When final totals are equal, the older candidate receives preference for provisional selection.

Application Submission Notes

Get the prescribed form from the Commandant, 7th (IR) Battalion, APSP, Maddipadu, Prakasam District. Send or hand in the filled form and enclosures to that office; the notice also says candidates may submit it personally as a walk-in. Include a working mobile number, email and Aadhaar details so the battalion can contact you about the relevant test.

Use only the attached format and include the latest photograph and self-attested supporting copies. Missing caste or EWS proof changes how your category is treated, missing study certificates can make you non-local, and an incomplete enclosure set can lead to rejection.
