Andhra Pradesh’s Transport department is recruiting 50 Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors, and the online window run by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) stays open until 11.59 pm on Thursday, 26 November. The APPSC Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector notification, numbered 36/2026, went up on the commission’s website on Friday, 6 November, along with detailed notifications for four other posts in mines, geology and excise.

These are zonal posts. Zones I and II have eight vacancies each, Zones III and IV nine each, and Zones V and VI eight each. The pay scale is Rs 48,440 to Rs 1,37,220.

Who can apply

Candidates need a degree in mechanical or automobile engineering, or a diploma in automobile engineering. They must also hold a driving licence with a heavy transport vehicle endorsement and have at least three years of driving experience. Women who hold only a light motor vehicle licence can apply, but they get two years from the day they join to add the heavy-vehicle endorsement, or they lose the job.

The age limit is 21 to 36 years as on 1 July 2026. SC, ST, BC and EWS candidates get five extra years, and regular AP government employees can deduct up to five years of service from their age.

Fee, exam and how to apply

The fee is Rs 250 for processing plus Rs 120 for the exam, or Rs 370 in all. SC, ST and BC candidates, ex-servicemen, families holding a white ration card in Andhra Pradesh and unemployed youth who file a declaration skip the Rs 120 exam fee. Applicants from other states pay both amounts. Each correction after submission costs Rs 100.

Selection is through a computer-based written test, with one-third of a question’s marks cut for every wrong answer. The commission has not fixed the exam date yet. First-time applicants must create a One Time Profile Registration (OTPR) on psc.ap.gov.in before filling in the form, and the payment link appears only after the form is saved and submitted.
