The Andhra Pradesh School Education Department has issued the detailed AP DSC 2026 Notification No. 1 for 2,111 School Assistant (SA) and Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) posts. The online application window is scheduled to open on 11 November 2026 and close on 30 November 2026. Candidates will have to apply through the official DSC portal and pay ₹1,000 for each post they apply for.
This is the detailed recruitment notice for the general School Assistant and SGT stream. The other DSC recruitment streams — Special Education and posts in welfare societies and AP Model Schools — were announced separately. Do not treat the 2,111 vacancies in this notice as the total for every DSC post announced in 2026.

AP DSC Vacancy Details 2026
The detailed notice covers 2,111 vacancies in Government and local-body schools across Andhra Pradesh.
| Post | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| School Assistant (SA) | 906 |
| Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) | 1,205 |
| Total | 2,111 |
The notification also provides district-wise and management-wise vacancy information. Before selecting a post, check the vacancy table in the official PDF and Information Bulletin for the district, management, subject and category relevant to you. A district total alone does not establish that every subject or category has an available vacancy.
How the 2,721 DSC figure is different
The 2,111 posts above belong to Notification No. 1 only. The three DSC streams announced in October were:
| Notification | Recruitment stream | Posts |
|---|---|---|
| No. 1 | School Assistant and SGT | 2,111 |
| No. 2 | Special Education SA and SGT | 350 |
| No. 3 | Principal, PGT, TGT, Physical Director and PET | 260 |
| Combined tentative total | All three streams | 2,721 |
The combined figure is the sum of the three separately announced streams. Candidates interested in Special Education or society/Model School posts should read the relevant notification rather than assume that this application window and fee automatically apply to them.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility is post-specific. The required degree, teacher-training qualification, subject combination and other conditions are set out in the detailed notification and the Information Bulletin, with reference to G.O.Ms.No.52 dated 4 November 2026.
Before applying, confirm all of the following:
- Your academic qualification matches the subject and post you select.
- You hold the required professional teacher-training qualification for that post.
- You satisfy the TET requirement, where prescribed.
- You meet the age condition and can produce the required supporting certificates.
- Your reservation or special-category claim is supported by valid documents, if applicable.
Do not rely on a general statement such as “any graduate can apply”. School Assistant and SGT posts have different post-wise requirements. Read the exact qualification entry in the official bulletin before paying the application fee.
Age Limit
For Notification No. 1, the stated age range is 18 to 44 years as on 1 July 2026. The notification provides upper-age relaxations for eligible categories, including reserved categories and persons with benchmark disabilities. Ex-servicemen and other eligible candidates should check the specific calculation and documentary conditions in the official notice.
The crucial date matters: calculate your age using 1 July 2026, not the date you submit the online application.
Application Fee
| Particular | Fee |
|---|---|
| Application fee | ₹1,000 per post |
The fee is payable through the online payment facility. If you intend to apply for more than one post, read the portal instructions carefully: the fee is specified per post. Keep the payment reference and submitted application copy.
Selection Process and TET Weightage
Selection is through a Computer Based Test (CBT) and the weightage prescribed in the notification. For the School Assistant and SGT categories covered by the stated method, the aggregate uses:
- TRT: 80%
- TET: 20%
The notification also sets category-wise minimum qualifying percentages. Candidates should read the Information Bulletin for the exact calculation, any post-specific exception and the qualifying conditions applicable to their category. Do not confuse qualifying marks with the final merit calculation.
AP DSC 2026 Exam Schedule
The CBT sessions are scheduled between 20 December 2026 and 13 January 2027. Hall tickets are scheduled to be available from 14 December 2026.
The overall examination window does not mean every candidate will write on the first day. Your hall ticket will carry your allotted date, shift, reporting time and test-centre details. Check those particulars as soon as the hall ticket is available.
