Arunachal Pradesh PSC Recruitment 2026 – Apply Online for 155 Group A & Group B Posts

Arunachal Pradesh PSC Recruitment 2026 is now open, and it’s a big one for job seekers from the state. The Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has released Advertisement No. 04/2026, dated 01 September 2026, calling for applications to fill 155 Group-A and Group-B Gazetted (Technical) posts. These openings span the Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry & Veterinary, and Textiles & Handicrafts, and they carry Pay Level 10 and Pay Level 6 salaries — solidly in Sarkari Naukri territory.

There’s an important catch, though: this recruitment is reserved exclusively for Permanent Residents of Arunachal Pradesh who hold a valid Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) Certificate. If that’s you, and you hold a relevant technical degree, this is a genuine shot at a gazetted government career close to home. Online applications open on 10 September 2026 and close on 30 September 2026. Here’s your complete guide — eligibility, vacancy breakdown, salary, selection process, and how to apply, step by step.

Vacancy Details – Post-wise Breakdown

Of the 155 total posts on offer, 6 are reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD). Keep in mind that these numbers come from requisitions raised by the individual departments, so the Commission may revise them later.

Six of these posts carry a PwBD reservation — one seat each is set aside in the Agriculture Development Officer category (Partially Blind/Partially Deaf/One Arm), two in Horticulture Development Officer (Multiple Disabilities), and three in Veterinary Officer (two for Deaf & Hard of Hearing, one for Multiple Disabilities).

Application Fee

Arunachal Pradesh PSC Veterinary Officer and Other Posts – Salary 2026

This is where the opportunity gets genuinely attractive. Selected candidates for all four Group-A posts — Agriculture Development Officer, Horticulture Development Officer, Veterinary Officer, and Assistant Director (Sericulture) — will start at Pay Level 10, which runs from ₹56,100 to ₹1,77,500 per month, before allowances like DA and HRA are added. The Dairy Development Officer post, being Group-B, is placed at Pay Level 6 (₹35,400–₹1,12,400). Add in the standard Central Government-pattern allowances applicable in Arunachal Pradesh, and the in-hand salary for a fresh Group-A recruit works out to a comfortable starting package for a gazetted officer.

Selection Process

Selection runs through up to three stages, depending on how many people apply:

1. Recruitment Test (Screening, only if needed) – A 200-mark objective paper in the concerned subject. This stage is purely a screening filter; its marks don’t count toward your final merit. It only kicks in if the number of applicants crosses the required ratio, and candidates equal to 12 times the advertised posts move ahead to the Written Examination.
2. Written Examination (500 marks) – General English & General Studies (150 marks, objective), plus two descriptive papers in your concerned subject (150 marks each).
3. Viva-voce (50 marks) – Reserved for candidates who clear the written cut-off and get shortlisted, typically about 3 times the number of vacancies per post/category.

✅ To qualify for the interview, General category candidates need 33% overall with at least 20% in each paper. PwBD candidates need 20% overall with at least 10% in each paper.

How to Apply for Arunachal Pradesh PSC Recruitment 2026

1. Go to the official APPSC website, appsc.gov.in.
2. Complete One Time Registration (OTR) if you’re a first-time applicant; returning users can log in directly.
3. Fill in your personal, educational, and eligibility details in the online form.
4. Upload your scanned photo, signature, and required certificates as per the specified size limits.
5. Pay the ₹200 application fee online (PwD candidates don’t need to pay).
6. Double-check every entry — no corrections are allowed after final submission.
7. Submit the form before 30 September 2026, 5:00 PM.
