Arunachal govt raises upper age limit for APPSCE candidates
First Published: 5th February, 2023 7:43 IST
The development comes after the cabinet approved amendments in Rule 3 of Arunachal Civil Services and Civil Posts (Upper Age Limit for Direct Recruitment) Rules.
The Arunachal Pradesh government has decided to increase the upper age limit of the candidates for the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission Examination to 35 years.
Whereas the upper age limit for the Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribes candidates will be 40 years. This was decided in the 3rd cabinet meeting of this year chaired by Chief Minister Pema Khandu.
The development comes after the cabinet approved amendments in Rule 3 of Arunachal Civil Services and Civil Posts (Upper Age Limit for Direct Recruitment) Rules.
According to reports, 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.
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.
Earlier, Chief Minister Pema Khandu November last year had announced that the upper age limit for APPSC exams will 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 to APST candidates.
