Local Candidature – What You Need to Know
Local reservation is governed by G.O.Ms. No. 45 (General Administration Department, dated 20 April 2026). Here’s the short version:
- You need Study Certificates and/or Residence Certificates to claim local candidate status.
- Candidates who migrated from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh between 02 June 2014 and 01 June 2024 are treated as local candidates — but must produce a Local Status Certificate.
💡 Pro Tip: Get your Study Certificates attested and ready before you start filling the application form. Uploading them during the process saves time and prevents errors.

APSPDCL AEE Salary 2026 – What Will You Earn?
This is the section most candidates scroll to first — and for good reason. Here’s the full picture:
| Period | Pay |
|---|---|
| During Probation (2 years) | ₹75,000 per month (consolidated) |
| After Successful Probation | Pay Level under RPS-2022: ₹86,245 – ₹2,08,915 |
The consolidated probation pay of ₹75,000 per month is a fixed amount — allowances are not separately payable during this period. Once you complete probation and are regularised, the regular pay scale kicks in with applicable allowances including Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Transport Allowance (TA).
⚠️ Service Bond Condition: This is critical. Before joining, you must sign a service bond:
- If you resign during probation: Refund all emoluments received + pay ₹5,00,000 as penalty.
- If you resign after probation but within 5 years of service: Pay ₹10,00,000 as penalty.
- The total bond period is 7 years (2 years probation + 5 years service).
Think of this as a long-term commitment. If you’re looking for a short-term role, this may not be the right fit.
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| All Categories | ₹1,000 |
The fee is non-refundable and must be paid online through the payment gateway — Debit Card, Credit Card, or Net Banking are accepted. There is no offline fee payment option.
APSPDCL AEE Selection Process 2026
Selection happens in six clear stages. No interview — the Computer Based Test (CBT) is the primary competitive filter.

- Release of Initial Key: Published 2 days after the last exam date.
- Objection Window: Candidates can challenge the Initial Key within 7 days of its publication.
- Final Key Release: Published 7 days after the objection deadline closes.
- Merit List Preparation: Based purely on CBT marks. In case of a tie, the older candidate ranks higher. A 1:1 merit list (equal to vacancies) is prepared.
- Certificate Verification: Short-listed candidates verify original documents before final selection.
- Appointment Orders: Issued after successful certificate verification.
✅ No negative marking means you should attempt every question on exam day — there’s no penalty for wrong answers.
