AP DSC Planned to Announce 3600 Teacher Vacancies in All Types of Schools in Andhra Pradesh

The Andhra Pradesh government is gearing up to release another AP DSC notification, bringing fresh hope to thousands of teaching aspirants across the state. The upcoming recruitment drive is expected to cover around 3,600 teacher vacancies across different categories of schools. The announcement is likely to coincide with the Ugadi festival, continuing the state’s push for regular and transparent teacher recruitment.

This move follows the assurance given by Education and IT Minister Nara Lokesh that the District Selection Committee examinations will be conducted annually, creating a predictable recruitment cycle for candidates.

AP DSC Vacancy 2026

As per the information available so far, the proposed DSC recruitment will cover a wide range of schools and teaching posts. The vacancies have been compiled after collecting field-level data from Adarsh Pathashalas, AP Residential Educational Institutions, Welfare Department schools, and government schools across the state.

Comparison With Last Year’s AP DSC Recruitment

The scale of the upcoming recruitment becomes clearer when viewed against last year’s figures. The government now aims to reduce such gaps while ensuring the recruitment process remains inclusive and rule-based.

• In the previous DSC cycle, 16,347 posts were advertised.
• 15,941 posts were successfully filled.
• A small number of vacancies remained unfilled due to the non-availability of eligible candidates in certain reserved categories.

No Change in AP DSC Syllabus and Exam Rules

One major relief for aspirants is that there will be no change in the syllabus or exam rules. There was an initial proposal to introduce an English language proficiency test and a computer proficiency test for all posts. However, this plan has been postponed due to time constraints, keeping the exam structure familiar for candidates. Key points candidates should note:

• The same DSC syllabus used last year will continue.
• Existing guidelines and rules will be followed without modification.
• The detailed syllabus is already available on the official website.

Special Education Teachers: Contract Staff May Get Weightage

Special Education Teachers form a crucial part of this recruitment cycle. Even after receiving the minimum pay scale, these teachers must qualify the DSC exam to secure permanent appointments. The government is also considering additional weightage for contract Special Education Teachers in the Special DSC, which could offer experienced candidates a fair advantage. Important updates for this category include:

• Around 2,600 Special Education Teachers are currently working on a contract basis in Andhra Pradesh.
• Following Supreme Court directions, nearly 800 teachers who meet eligibility conditions will be granted the minimum time scale.
• Eligibility conditions include 10 years of service and a valid TET qualification.

AP DSC Notification Status and Expected Timeline

The administrative groundwork for the recruitment is almost complete.

• The School Education Department has finished collecting vacancy data from all relevant institutions.
• A formal DSC notification is ready and is expected to be released soon.
• The announcement is likely around Ugadi, aligning with the government’s public commitment to annual DSC exams.

What This Means for Teaching Aspirants in Andhra Pradesh

The upcoming AP DSC is shaping up to be a balanced and candidate-friendly recruitment drive. With an unchanged syllabus, a significant number of vacancies, and special consideration for experienced contract teachers, aspirants can prepare with clarity and confidence. Those who missed out earlier due to limited vacancies or procedural delays now have another strong opportunity to secure a teaching post in Andhra Pradesh.
