AAPSU Welcomes New APPSC Recruitment Rules

-

 


ITANAGAR, September 2: 

The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) has welcomed the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission’s (APPSC) latest recruitment advertisement, calling it an important step towards implementing the state’s new recruitment eligibility framework.

APPSC Advertisement No. 04/2026, dated September 1, is for the Common Recruitment Examination for Group-A and Group-B, Gazetted (Technical) Posts-2026 (Part-I).

Importantly, the advertisement is the first APPSC recruitment notification issued after the state government formally notified the new uniform eligibility criteria on August 26, 2026.

Under the new criteria, candidates are required to possess a Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC), an Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) Certificate, and proficiency in an Indigenous Tribal Language.

The criteria were approved by the state Cabinet on August 13 before being formally notified on August 26. The government has directed recruiting agencies, including APPSC and APSSB, to incorporate the requirements into recruitment advertisements.

AAPSU said the inclusion of the conditions in the latest APPSC advertisement follows sustained advocacy by the students’ organisation.

It credited AAPSU President Meje Taku and General Secretary Tator Mato Bui, along with the organisation’s leadership, for pursuing the issue through a 13-point memorandum submitted to the Chief Minister and repeated engagements with the High-Power Committee.

AAPSU welcomed the move by the Commission and the state government, describing it as a necessary and long-pending correction.

However, the organisation pointed out that the current notification covers only Part-I and said it would closely monitor its implementation.

AAPSU president Meje Taku also called for the new eligibility safeguards to be applied uniformly across all recruitment examinations and government departments in Arunachal Pradesh, without exception.

The union said its broader fight concerning the state’s land, identity and rights would continue.
