The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) on Friday released the final results of the Prelims (Screening Test) conducted to recruit Group-I posts in the state. The board has also released the Prelims Paper-1 and Paper-2 Final Key.

The prelims were held on May 26 for a total of 167 posts. Since then, 8,350 people have been selected for mains as per 1:50 ratio. Previously, according to GO 5, the APPSC altered cutoff marks for prelims and chose the candidate as per 1:12 ratio.

Candidates objected to this and asked to select fifty candidates per one post. However, the TDP government did not care. But the current government reacted positively to the requests of the candidates and selected 50 candidates for one position.The APPSC has made it clear to the government would be bearing the financial burden for the recruitment. The cutoff for mains was set at 90.42.
