AP DSC Teacher Recruitment - Pattern, Syllabus & Prep
The Andhra Pradesh District Selection Committee (DSC) recruits teachers - School Assistants (SA), Secondary Grade Teachers (SGT), Physical Education Teachers (PET) and special education teachers - through the School Education Department. As of 8 October 2026 the 2026 DSC notification has not been issued; this guide is written from the last official recruitment, the Mega DSC 2025 (Notification No. 01/Mega DSC-TRC-1/2025 dated 20 April 2025). The 2026 recruitment may differ, so treat this as a guide to the last cycle.
Part of the Andhra Pradesh state guide: history, geography, government, elections, culture and every Andhra Pradesh exam in one place.
What is the AP DSC exam pattern?
In the Mega DSC 2025, the recruitment test was conducted as a Computer Based Test (CBT) in multiple sessions between 6 June and 6 July 2025, for School Assistant, SGT, PET and special education teacher posts. Applications were taken from 20 April to 15 May 2025. The paper structure, marks and any negative marking for 2026 will be fixed by the new notification and information bulletin, so no section table is given here; read the information bulletin when it is published on the official DSC portal (tet2dsc.apcfss.in) and cse.ap.gov.in.
