AP Police Scientific Assistant Eligibility, Important Dates

106 topics across 3 subjects. Every question carries a written explanation.

Nobody in Andhra Pradesh is currently advertising a Scientific Assistant post in the Police Department. On 11 September 2026, the two bodies that could recruit it showed this:

BodyWhat it had
State Level Police Recruitment Board (SLPRB, AP), Mangalagiri, Guntur District, slprb.ap.gov.in Two police notifications dated 28 November 2022 (161/SLPRB/Rect.2/2022 for SCT Police Constables, 163/SLPRB/Rect.1/2022 for SCT Sub Inspectors) and a 2025 Assistant Public Prosecutor recruitment. Constable selection lists and cut-offs came out on 8 August 2025. No Scientific Assistant post.
Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC), psc.ap.gov.in An active portal with an Examination Calendar, notifications, syllabus, keys and results. Its front page didn't mention scientific, forensic or police posts. September 2026 announcements were about departmental tests, the RIMC entrance, and results for degree college Lecturers and Deputy Educational Officers.

The AP Forensic Science Laboratory's own site, apfsl.ap.gov.in, didn't load when checked.

A Scientific Assistant is a technical post with a specific degree requirement, and its pattern, syllabus and pay come from the advertisement that creates it. With no advertisement, the vacancy counts and syllabi on job sites have nothing behind them.

SLPRB recruits the police cadres and, as the prosecutor recruitment shows, some non-uniformed posts. APPSC recruits the state's technical and scientific posts. Either could advertise this one; neither is doing so now.

AP Police Scientific Assistant Details

Eligibility Criteria

No advertisement, so no published eligibility. Both AP recruiting bodies use the same document rules, so you can get these ready:

  • Date of birth only from the SSC, Matriculation or equivalent certificate. SLPRB refuses horoscopes, affidavits, municipal birth extracts and service records.
  • Local status under the Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organization of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order, 1975, shown by the School Study Certificate, or the alternative certificate if you claim by residence.
  • Caste certificate, and the latest Non-Creamy Layer certificate for BC candidates.
  • Degree certificate and consolidated marks memo for a technical post, with proof that the university is recognised. Proving recognition is usually your job.

A certificate dated after the notification generally can't support a reservation or age relaxation claim.

Selection Process

No advertisement, so no selection process to report. It will depend on which body issues the notification:

If issued byExpect
SLPRB, AP A written exam with category-wise qualifying percentages, plus physical tests for uniformed posts. For the non-uniformed Assistant Public Prosecutor post it published preliminary and final keys in four sets, zone-wise selections, final cut-offs and a verification and recounting facility.
APPSC A post listed in the Examination Calendar, then a notification with syllabus, keys and objections, and post-by-post selection and result notices.

For a technical post, the degree requirement and the technical syllabus decide whether it's worth applying. Neither can be read off the job title.

Participating Institutes
BodyRole
SLPRB, AP, Mangalagiri Recruits AP Police cadres; has also recruited Assistant Public Prosecutors for the State Prosecution Department
APPSC Recruits to the state's civil, technical and professional services
AP Police Department Where the post would sit, usually in the Forensic Science Laboratory
Home and General Administration Departments Issue the government orders that sanction posts. SLPRB's constable recruitment, for example, followed G.O. Ms. No. 153, Home (Services.IV) Department, dated 20 October 2022
Important Dates

No dates. As of 11 September 2026 neither SLPRB, AP nor APPSC has a Scientific Assistant advertisement out.

Watch the APPSC Examination Calendar on psc.ap.gov.in. It names posts before their notifications are issued, which no other source does. SLPRB's Recruitment page and Latest News panel on slprb.ap.gov.in list each notification with its date and application window.

Preparation Tips

Don't prepare from a guessed syllabus. For a technical post the notification sets the syllabus, and the technical paper carries the marks.

  • Follow the APPSC Examination Calendar. It's the only advance warning you'll get.
  • Sort your documents: School Study Certificate, caste certificate, latest Non-Creamy Layer certificate. Get them before a notification issues.
  • Check your degree. Forensic posts usually want a particular science degree, sometimes with a named specialisation. If yours is from an open or distance programme, confirm its recognition now.
  • If you just want an AP Police job, read SLPRB's notification 161/SLPRB/Rect.2/2022. It recruited 6,100 SCT Police Constables under two post codes. Preliminary test marks don't count in the final selection, and the PET is worth 100 marks for the APSP post code but only qualifies for Civil. Its companion 163/SLPRB/Rect.1/2022 recruited Sub Inspectors.
  • If you want forensic work, look at the Telangana Police Recruitment Board's 2025 Forensic Science Laboratory technical posts recruitment, which published its notification, selected list and cut-offs.
