Information checked: 11 October 2026. This guide uses the brief notice and its examination annexure. Read the latest detailed notification and any corrigendum before submitting an application.

The vacancy total may change. Check the detailed notice for the category-wise distribution. The pay scale is not a guaranteed take-home amount: allowances and deductions affect the amount credited to an employee.
Educational Qualification: Check Your Degree Carefully
The notified qualification routes include:
- A bachelor's degree in Home Science or B.S.W.
- A degree in Sociology.
- B.Sc. (Hons.) in Food Science and Nutrition.
- Specified B.Sc. programmes in Food and Nutrition, Applied Nutrition and Public Health, Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, Applied Nutrition, Food Sciences and Quality Control, Food Sciences and Management, Food Technology and Nutrition, or Food Technology and Management.
The last group carries specified science-subject combinations, which differ by programme. Compare the exact entry in the official notification PDF with your degree certificate and semester marksheets.
Important: Do not assume that Botany, Zoology, Chemistry or Biochemistry alone establishes eligibility. The notice also limits the higher-qualification route to Home Science, Social Work, Sociology, or Food Science and Nutrition. The required qualification must be held by the date of the detailed notification.
A Practical Eligibility Check
- Write down your complete degree name. Use the wording on your certificate, including any specialisation.
- Find the matching qualification entry. Check the programme and accompanying subjects together.
- Compare your marksheets. A similar course name may not show that the required subjects were studied.
- Resolve uncertainty before paying. If your qualification is differently named, seek clarification through APPSC's official help desk. Keep the reply with your application records.
For example, a candidate with a nutrition-related course should check both the course title and the supporting science subjects. A candidate relying on a postgraduate qualification should separately check the higher-qualification condition.
Age Limit, Relaxation and Application Fee
The brief notice does not specify the age range, category-wise relaxation or application fee. Obtain these details from the detailed notification. It is scheduled to be available on or before 16 October 2026.
When reading it, note the date used to calculate age, the certificates needed for your category, and the conditions attached to any fee exemption. Use the current notice rather than figures from an earlier recruitment.
Selection Process and Written Exam Pattern
The notice provides for a single-level online Computer-Based Recruitment Test (CBRT), with no separate screening examination. Its annexure also includes the Computer Proficiency Test (CPT).
| Paper | Subject | Questions | Time | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | General Studies and Mental Ability | 150 | 150 minutes | 150 |
| II | Home Science and Social Work | 150 | 150 minutes | 150 |
| Written examination total | 300 | |||
Negative marking: Each incorrect answer attracts a deduction of one-third of the marks assigned to that question. Read subsequent APPSC announcements for the examination schedule.
Computer Proficiency Test
The CPT scheme specifies 60 minutes and 100 marks. Minimum qualifying scores are 30 for SC/ST/PBD, 35 for BC and 40 for OC. Follow the detailed notice for how CPT qualification applies to selection.
For practice, create a formatted document, prepare a spreadsheet with calculations and a chart, and build a short presentation. Complete each task yourself on a computer, then reopen the saved files to check the result. Watching demonstrations is useful, but hands-on practice reveals errors in saving, formatting and navigation.
How to Apply Online
- Open the official APPSC website and find the latest Supervisor Grade-I notice.
- Read the detailed notification and any amendments. Check eligibility, reservation, fee and upload instructions.
- Use the One Time Profile Registration portal to create or review your profile, as required.
- When applications open, select the correct recruitment application. A profile registration by itself does not complete your application for this post.
- Enter your particulars carefully and upload documents in the prescribed format.
- Complete the applicable payment and submission steps. Review the final status rather than relying only on a payment message.
- Download the submitted form and keep the application reference and payment record, where applicable.
Set aside enough time to review the form before submission. If you use a service centre, read every entry on the screen yourself, especially your name, date of birth, qualification and category.
Documents to Organise Before Applying
The following is a preparation checklist, not the final upload list. The detailed notification determines which documents must be submitted and their format.
- Date-of-birth record and identity document.
- Degree certificate and complete marksheets showing the subjects studied.
- Postgraduate certificate and marksheets, if relying on a higher qualification.
- Relevant community, disability, study or local-status records, where applicable.
- A photograph and signature ready to resize to the notified specifications.
- Access to the mobile number and email address used for registration.
Keep clear scans in one folder and use simple filenames so you can distinguish certificates from marksheets. Check that every page is legible before uploading.
A Focused Preparation Plan
Start by turning the official syllabus into a checklist. Mark each topic as familiar, partly familiar or new. Choose study sessions based on your weak areas instead of repeatedly revising the subjects you already know.
- Build subject understanding: Explain a topic in your own words, then answer questions to check whether you can apply it.
- Practise reasoning regularly: Record the steps used to solve a problem, especially when you make a calculation or interpretation error.
- Review timed practice: Track accuracy alongside the number of questions attempted. Review incorrect and uncertain answers before starting another test.
- Keep computer practice consistent: Repeat short document, spreadsheet and presentation tasks until you can finish and save them without assistance.
This is a suggested study approach. Use the official syllabus to decide the content and your practice results to decide where to spend more time.
