This is just adraft in simple words, to speak abt the Examination Pattern of APPSC (Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission) Group-II examination.
To say in short, it constitutes of
3 Papers:
~ Time:each paper is supposed to be answered in 2-1/2 hrs of time-duration. Most basically, the whole testing process would be finished withine 2 days. i.e., 2 exams on the first day(one paper in the morning session and 2nd paper in the evening session) and the third exam/paper in the morning session of the 2nd day.
~Marks: Maximum marks each, for all the 3 Papers is :150
So including all the 3 papers, the Maximum Marks would be 3(150) =450 max
~Pass % of the 3 Papers: The pass % of each paper is 40%, so 6o marks in each paper.
A candidate has to atleast score 3(60)=180 marks altogether, to get thru the Written Test.
~Interview: Candidates who secured more than the Pass-%, were called to the interview, and marks are given accordingly. Max marks in this session is 50. And this session, even include the Pass % of 40%. So least of 20 marks are expected to grab the opportunity.
So, including the Written Test and Interview: Total Max Marks: 500 ; Pass score:180+20=200.
Wow..Well there is a huge difference between the Max marks and the pass score, unlike the Bank Recruitment Tests, where there exists no Pass %.
Ok, now in to the Papers and the subjects.
