Exam postponement notification fake: APPSC
Ahead of the group 2 mains exam, APPSC cautioned candidates against a fake notice circulating on social media claiming the exam was postponed.
“It is learnt that a fake Web Note is circulating in social media saying that Main Examination for Group-II Services (Notification. No. 11/2023), scheduled on 23/02/2025 FN & AN is postponed. This information is false and police compliant for criminal prosecution is being given in this regard,” APPSC said.

Some APPSC Group 2 aspirants urged the government to postpone the exam, saying there were errors in the roaster system. They wanted the errors to be corrected before the exam took place.
On Friday, Andhra Pradesh Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Nara Lokesh also acknowledged candidates' plea to postpone the exam and said all possible avenues would be explored to arrive at a solution.
“I’ve received numerous requests from Group 2 aspirants to postpone the examinations. I understand their concerns and, in consultation with our legal teams, we will explore all possible avenues to find a solution,” the minister posted on X.
However, the commission went ahead with its plans and held the examination as per the schedule.
