How Many Vacancies Are There in APPSC AEE Recruitment 2026?
The notification does not print a grand total. The 503 figure is the sum of the rows below, with the last row counted once. The vacancies are provisional and can change after the departments confirm them.
| Post Code and Post | Department | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| PC 01: AEE | Public Health & Municipal Engineering | 21 |

The Water Resources figure of 224 is printed once for both post codes. The brief notification does not say how many seats are Civil and how many are Mechanical. Category-wise and reservation-wise vacancies are also not given here. They will come in the detailed notification, so do not trust any seat split you see on social media.
What is the Eligibility for APPSC AEE Recruitment 2026?
You need an engineering degree in the branch of your post code, from a university in India established or incorporated under a Central, Provincial or State Act, or from an institution recognised by the UGC. Your qualification must be held as on the date of the Detailed Notification.
| Post Code | Requirement |
|---|---|
| PC 01 (PH&ME) | Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, or a pass in Sections A and B of AMIE (India) in Civil Engineering |
| PC 02 (Panchayat Raj) | Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering, or AMIE Sections A and B in Civil or Mech, or AMIE and B.Sc. (Engg.) of Ranchi University, or an equivalent qualification |
| PC 03 (Rural Water Supply) | Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, or AMIE Sections A and B in Civil |
| PC 04 (Roads & Buildings, Civil) | Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, or an equivalent qualification |
| PC 05 (Roads & Buildings, Electrical) | Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent qualification, or a pass in Sections A and B of the Institution of Engineers in Electrical Engineering |

| PC 07 (Water Resources, Civil) | Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, or an equivalent qualification |
| PC 08 (Water Resources, Mech) | Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent qualification |
Read each row slowly. Notice the AMIE route. If you cleared Sections A and B of AMIE, you are not shut out, but only for the posts that list it. PC 04, PC 06, PC 07 and PC 08 mention an equivalent qualification instead. Your degree branch also decides which exam papers you write, so pick your post code with care.

What is the Salary for APPSC AEE Recruitment 2026?
Every one of the eight post codes carries the same scale of pay, ₹57,100 – ₹1,47,760. The notification does not list allowances or other benefits, so we are not guessing them here. Check the detailed notification for anything beyond the scale itself, and do not rely on forum posts for allowances.
What is the Selection Process and Exam Pattern for APPSC AEE 2026?
The recruitment has a single-level examination only. No Screening Test will be held, however many applications arrive. The exam is online (CBRT) mode. If it runs in several sessions, the Commission may normalise marks wherever it considers necessary.
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Written exam | Objective type, degree standard, 3 papers, 450 marks |
| Computer Proficiency Test | Scheme annexed only; its use here is not stated in the brief notification. Practical, 60 minutes, 100 marks |
Each paper has 150 questions, 150 marks and 150 minutes. Every wrong answer costs you one-third of the marks for that question, so guessing blindly will hurt your score.
| Paper | Subject | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | General Studies & Mental Ability | All post codes |
| Paper 2 | Civil & Mechanical Engineering | PC 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 |
| Paper 2 | Electrical Engineering | PC 5 |
| Paper 3 | Civil Engineering | PC 1, 3, 4, 7 |
| Paper 3 | Civil & Mechanical Engineering (common) | PC 2, 6 |
| Paper 3 | Electrical Engineering | PC 5 |
| Paper 3 | Mechanical Engineering | PC 8 |
You must appear for the papers of the subject you studied in your B.E. or B.Tech. For PC 2 and PC 6, Paper 3 is held in a different session. Paper 1 covers current events, science, history, geography, polity, economy, environment, disaster management, reasoning and data analysis, with a focus on Andhra Pradesh. The notification annexes full syllabi for the engineering papers. Our syllabus page helps with exam preparation.
The annexed Computer Proficiency Test scheme sets minimum qualifying marks of 30 for SC/ST/PBD, 35 for BC and 40 for OC candidates. The brief notification does not say how the test is used in this recruitment, so wait for the detailed notification. It also does not give an exam date, so check the detailed notification for it.
