Telangana AMVI Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

Two objective papers, taken as CBRT or OMR as the Commission decides, and marked out of 450.

Both papers must be attempted. Missing one is disqualification. Marks of questions deleted after objections are credited in proportion to each candidate's performance on the other questions.

Paper I. Current affairs (regional, national, international); international relations; general science and India's achievements in science and technology; environment and disaster management; economic and social development of India and Telangana; geography of India and Telangana; modern Indian history with the national movement; Telangana history, culture and statehood movement; Indian Constitution, polity and governance; social exclusion and rights; Telangana policies; logical reasoning, analytical ability and data interpretation; basic English (Class 10).

Paper II (diploma level).

• Thermal engineering and automobile power plants (IC engines, lubrication, cooling, fuel and exhaust systems)
• Chassis, body and transmission (steering, brakes, suspension, clutch, gearbox, axles, tyres)
• Servicing, maintenance and automobile electrical systems
• Motor transport organisation, industrial management and entrepreneurship
• Special purpose vehicles and basic hydraulics
• Engineering mechanics and strength of materials
• Machine design
• Engineering materials and production technology

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or Automobile Engineering, or a 3-year diploma in Automobile Engineering from an AICTE-approved institution.
• A valid driving licence for heavy motor vehicles (transport). Women holding only a light motor vehicle licence must add the heavy transport endorsement within two years of joining.
• Age 21 to 39 on 01-07-2022 (not born after 01-07-2001 or before 02-07-1983). SC, ST, BC and EWS get 5 years more. Telangana government employees get up to 5 years by length of service, ex-servicemen 3 years plus service, NCC instructors 3 years plus service.

The post also has physical and vision standards.

Vision must be 6/6 in each eye without glasses and near vision 0.5. Colour blindness and squint disqualify. A medical board checks all this later, and a second medical is not allowed.

Selection rests on the written test and on meeting the physical and medical standards. Candidates in merit order, category by category, are called to verify certificates. They give their order of preference for the two multi-zones on the spot, and allotment follows merit and that preference only.

Qualifying minimums are 40 per cent for OC, sportspersons and EWS, 35 per cent for BC and 30 per cent for SC and ST. Ties are broken by local status (Telangana candidates first), then date of birth (older first), then marks in the engineering paper, then higher qualification.

Pay scale ₹45,960–1,24,150 a month.

Candidates registered once on the TGPSC site (One Time Registration), then applied online with their TGPSC ID. The 2022 fee was ₹200 for processing plus ₹120 for the exam; unemployed candidates were exempt from the exam fee and employees of any government body paid it. Payment was online and not refundable. Objecting to the preliminary key cost ₹500 per objection.

Hall tickets could be downloaded from 7 days before the test on the TGPSC site, under the hall ticket link on the home page.

The provisional selection notification of 10 October 2024 lists hall ticket numbers: 54 in Multi-Zone I and 59 in Multi-Zone II, 113 in all. Results and keys are kept under Selection List on the TGPSC site.

TGPSC published no cut-off marks for the AMVI round. Qualification is by the minimum percentages in the selection section, and selected candidates are listed by hall ticket number.

Paper II has twice the weight of Paper I, with 150 questions at 2 marks, so the automobile engineering units need the most time. Paper I is the standard TGPSC General Studies paper with a strong Telangana component. Plan for medical and height standards before applying.
