💡 Expert Tip

Applications submitted without the certificates listed at points 1 to 5 of the required documents list — SSC certificate, PG registration with AP Medical Council, PG marks lists, degree/provisional degree certificates, and the 4th-to-10th study certificate — will be rejected outright, so have scanned copies of all five ready before you start the online form. If you studied 4th to 10th in Telangana and migrated to AP after bifurcation, you'll additionally need a revenue authority certificate as per G.O.Ms No. 132 & 133 GA (SPF&MC) Dept dated 13.06.2016 to prove local candidature — without it, you'll be treated as non-local and only considered if no local candidates are available for that post. Also note: if you're already working as a Senior Resident in any Government Medical College in AP, you are explicitly not eligible to apply again under this notification.
