Can I write Group 1, Group 2 or EO Grade-III in 2026?
Enter four answers and the check reads them against the 2026 rules for all three exams at once. The detailed notifications are not out yet, so a result is a guide, and the notification decides.
This check needs JavaScript. The rules below are the same check, to read yourself.
See the rules this check uses
| Rule | Group 1 | Group 2 | EO Grade-III |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age band | 18 to 44 | 18 to 44 | 18 to 44 |
| Age counted on | Date of the detailed notification (on or before 6 October 2026) | 1 July in the last notification; 2026 date not printed yet | Date of the detailed notification (on or before 16 October 2026) |
| Years added | SC, ST, BC, EWS 5; benchmark disability 10 | SC, ST, BC, EWS 5; benchmark disability 10 | SC, ST, BC, EWS 5; benchmark disability 10 |
| Bachelor's degree | In hand on the date of the detailed notification | In hand on the date the notification names | In hand on the date of the detailed notification |
| Other condition | Uniform posts such as DSP have their own band | Prohibition and Excise SI and Sub-Registrar have their own band | Hindu religion (Endowments Act, Section 29); BC-C and BC-E not entitled in 10/2025 |
Two things the check cannot see. Uniform posts (DSP, Prohibition and Excise Sub Inspector, and others) have their own, tighter age bands, and a few posts ask for a named degree subject. If you have more than one concession, such as a category and a disability, the check applies the larger one; the notification says how they combine.
G.O.Ms.No.187, 14 September 2026
Upper age 44 for non-uniform posts up to 30 September 2027. Brief notification 07/2026 (Group 1), paras 3 to 5; brief notification 23/2026 (EO Grade-III), paras 1 to 7; notification 11/2023 (Group 2), paras 7.2 to 7.7; notification 10/2025 (EO Grade-III), para 3.
How old will I be on the counting date?
Age is counted on one fixed date, not on the day you apply. Count the full years from your date of birth to that date, then the months, then the days. The calculator does that sum for the dates APPSC is likely to use, or for any date you choose.
APPSC study planners, one for each exam
Every APPSC chapter or unit with boxes to tick, free in English and Telugu. The title opens that exam's guide. A planner download asks for your email and mobile number first.
- Group 1 plan trackerThe stretches, the running tracks and every chapter, with boxes for studied, written and revised.
- Group 2 plan trackerThe three stretches, the chapter grid and the Screening blocks.
- Group 1 and Group 2 together trackerEach shared subject mapped to its Group 1 paper, with an MCQ column and an answer column for each chapter group.

Group 2 Mains syllabus trackers
One tracker for each of the four Mains subjects. Each opens with the official syllabus, word for word from notification 11/2023, then sets out every chapter in reading order with its sub-topics to tick off.
How to use one. Print it, or keep it open beside your notes. Write the date you studied each chapter, then the dates you revise it: after a week, after a month, and in the last run-up. Mark each chapter weak, fair or strong, so revision goes to the shaky ones first.
