The Arunachal Pradesh state cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Pema Khandu, approved amendments in Rule 3 of the Arunachal Civil Services and Civil Posts (Upper Age Limit for Direct Recruitment) Rules on Saturday. According to that the upper age limit for state civil service examinations will be 35 years for the general candidates and 40 years for APST candidates.
The proposed upper age limit shall also be applicable, as a one-time relaxation, to all those candidates who have applied for direct recruitment examinations but the examinations have been cancelled or postponed/deferred by the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) during 2022 due to administrative reasons.
Informing about the amendment the CM’s media cell said, “This benefit will be given to the aspirants with effect from the closing date for receipt of applications against advertisements made by the APPSC for respective examinations.” Let it be noted that the CM had on 22 November last year announced that the upper age limit for the APPSC exams would be enhanced by three years. The current age limit for direct recruitment for civil services and civil posts in the state government is 32 years, with 5 years’ age relaxation for APST candidates.
