8th IR Bn Multi-Post Recruitment 2026 — 37 Vacancies

8th IR Bn Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

8th Indian Reserve Battalion, Andhra Pradesh Special Police (APSP), Chittoor is filling Record Assistant and operational support roles through an outsourcing arrangement for the erstwhile Chittoor district. The recruitment brings office, sanitation, kitchen, laundry and grooming work into one notification under the Andhra Pradesh Police Department. Each role has a different practical focus, so you should choose the post that matches your education, language ability and trade skill.

The workplace is a disciplined battalion environment rather than a typical district office. Some staff will support records and administration, while others keep the campus, kitchens, clothing services and grooming facilities running. Final merit is post-specific, and the department uses written, practical and interview assessments in different combinations according to the work.
