Notes
| Test family | Source | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts tests | The Andhra Pradesh Financial Code, Treasury Code, Accounts Code and the fundamental rules, as the revised syllabus for each paper specifies | Bare rules permitted in the with-books papers. |
| Revenue Test | The revenue Acts, the Board’s standing orders and the survey and settlement manuals | Part-wise; each part passable separately. |
| Criminal Judicial and Evidence Act tests | The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023, with the commission’s concordance | The old codes are no longer the syllabus. |
| Departmental papers | The department’s own Act, rules and manual, in the edition named by the revised syllabus | Revised syllabi are dated on the departmental test page. |
| Language tests | A grammar and composition reference in the language, and dictation, translation and essay practice | Written by hand; viva follows the written part. |
| Survey tests | The survey manuals and the instrument work they prescribe | Scientific calculators and an instrument box permitted for the village surveyor papers only. |
For with-books papers, the only material allowed in the hall is the bare Act. A guide or a commentary is barred, and a candidate who has prepared from one arrives with a document they do not know how to navigate. Prepare from the edition you will carry in, annotated only in ways the instructions permit.
