APSSB Non-Ministerial Technical Exam 2026 – Pattern and Marks

The written exam is worth 200 marks and lasts 2 hours. It has two papers, each of 1 hour. There is no negative marking.

The Common Paper has four equal sections of 10 questions each: General Questions, General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability, Arithmetical Ability, and Test of English Language and Comprehension.

Technical Paper by Post

Qualifying Marks – A Quick Calculation

You need 33% in each paper separately. There is no sectional cut-off in the Common Paper. Based on the marking scheme, here is what that means in practice (our own calculation).

💡 Pro Tip: Since there is no negative marking, attempt every question. A blind guess costs you nothing.

Physical Tests, Driving Test and ANM Competency Test

Candidates are shortlisted in a ratio of 1:8 for PST/PET, and 1:3 for the driving test and the ANM competency test. You must also have scored at least 33% in each written paper.

Physical Standards (Male Candidates)

The notification gives these standards for post codes 31/26, 34/26 and 35/26.

Physical Efficiency Test (Male)

Ex-Servicemen do not have to take the PET, but they must clear the PST. Vision standards are 6/6 in the better eye and 6/12 in the worse eye (corrected), with no colour blindness.

ANM Competency Test

ANM candidates face four stations of 10 marks each: Vital Signs, Maternal and Child Health, Infection Control Protocol, and Basic Procedure in Midwifery. You attempt any three and need 21 out of 30 to qualify, with at least 7 marks per station attempted.

APSSB Technical Salary 2026

Selected candidates will be paid under the 7th CPC Pay Matrix. Your pay level depends on the post.

⚠️ Note on Health Assistant Jr.: The notification shows Level 5 in one table and Level 4 in another. Please confirm the correct pay level with APSSB before you finalise your preferences.

Besides basic pay, the job comes with Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), medical benefits and other admissible allowances. The exact DA and HRA rates are [Check official notification]. Government jobs also come with promotion opportunities.

Smart Preparation Tips for the Written Exam

You have a little over a month between the application deadline and the exam, so use the time well.

• Split your time 50:50. Both papers carry 100 marks. Many candidates over-prepare the technical paper and ignore the Common Paper.
• Practise the Common Paper basics. Ten questions each on general knowledge, reasoning, arithmetic and English can lift your total score quickly.
• Revise your own subject deeply. Nursing, pharmacy, lab and dental candidates should revise their diploma-level core subjects.
• Drivers: study road safety. The technical paper for post codes 31/26 to 35/26 is Road Safety and Traffic Signages, so learn road signs, traffic rules and licence basics.
• Check the official syllabus. APSSB notified it separately on 08 October 2026 under the Syllabus section of its website.
• Start physical training early. Constable and Head Constable Driver aspirants should practise the 100 m, 1500 m and jumps well before January 2027.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Mixing up the preference order, since it cannot be edited later
• Applying without a valid PRC or APST certificate
• Uploading photo or signature files outside the size limits
• Letting your driving licence expire before the verification date
• Leaving the form for the last two days
