Candidates should check the list after its publication to confirm their status for the Screening Test. The Commission has clarified that no separate intimation letter will be sent to eligible candidates by post.

APSC JE Admit Card 2026 to Be Released on September 14
The APSC Junior Engineer e-Admission Certificate will be uploaded on September 14, 2026.
Candidates appearing for the September 20 examination will have to download their admission certificate themselves from the APSC website. The Commission will not send the document separately by post.
Candidates should verify the information printed on the admission certificate after downloading it, particularly their name, roll number, examination venue, reporting details and other instructions.
Important Notice for PwBD Candidates Requiring a Scribe
APSC has issued a separate instruction for PwBD candidates who wish to avail the facility of a scribe for the Screening Test.
Such candidates must inform the Commission in writing with supporting documents on or before September 9, 2026. The request can also be submitted through the email address specified by APSC in the notification.
Candidates requiring this facility should complete the process within the prescribed deadline rather than waiting for the release of the admission certificate.
Candidates Must Continue to Meet Eligibility Conditions
APSC has further clarified that appearing in the Screening Test does not by itself establish a candidate’s final eligibility for recruitment.
The Commission reserves the right to cancel the candidature at any stage, including after the Screening Test, if scrutiny of the application establishes that the candidate does not fulfil the prescribed eligibility criteria or other conditions set out in the recruitment advertisement.
Candidates should therefore ensure that the information and documents submitted with their applications meet the conditions prescribed under Advertisement No. 26/2025.
