The fees must be deposited under head of account “Non Tax Revenue other Non Tax Revenue 0051 Public Service Commission 102 State Public Serive Commision, Examination fee Receipt of Assam Public Service Commission.”

Step 10. Submit your form. You can submit it by hand or by post. APSC arranges special counters for collection of CC (Main) exam forms. Submitting by hand is the best option. Because APSC employees cross check the form before accepting. They also provides a receipt. In case you send it via post, your envelop must read “Application for Combined Competitive (Main) Examination, 2014″. Use registered post only.

Reminder/Checklist before submitting:
- Don’t forget to self attest all your documents. No need to get them attested by a gazetted officer.
- Don’t forget to add the original Treasury Challan. Some treasuries issues a 3rd copy, but not all. If you don’t have a personal copy, keep a xerox copy before providing the original Challan.
- If you are from a reserved category, make sure that your caste certificate is from an authority recognized by Govt of Assam.
- If you are applying for Person with Disabilities category, make sure that you have obtained a certificate of disability from the correct authority and your certificate clearly indicates the degree of disability.
- If you are employed, don’t forget to go through the proper channel by informing your employer or head of dept. Because if your employer is not ready to allow you to appear at the exam and APSC is informed about the decision, your application will be rejected
- If you are sending the application form via post, make sure you are using correct heading and post it only via Registered post.
- Finally staple all your documents properly. Do it twice or thrice. Because they can reject your application just because of a missing document.

At the starting of the form there is “Date of Receipt”. I am not getting it. Which and what date?? Plz plz help out. And also the “Name of treasury” as someone asked above. Thank you.
M kv student so we hv nt given marksheet & passin certificate so any probm wid it.
I am from CBSE. So, do not have the Class 11 Marksheet and Pass Certificate as the exam is conducted by the school itself and Marksheet is of no value. Further they do not provide any Pass Certificate for Class 11 and Board is not at all involved. Its only the Class 12 Marksheet and Pass Certificate which matters.
So, kindly let me know will there be any problem for the same
*plz mention about age and percentage of degree for appearing in an apsc exam.*
Admin, filled the main forms. They did accept the provisional certificate, hopefully my name will not be on the rejected list.
Thanks again for your advice.
That depends entirely on your choice. Enter the name of the posts according to your preference. The most preferred ones should be on top.
@admin What is preferable sequence of services for APSC
Thanks admin!
@Namrata,
Two of our team members appeared last year with provisional certificates. So, the provisional certificate should be enough.
@Tridip,
It should be the name of the place where you deposited the fee. Normally it is District HQ, except few exceptions where there are sub-treasuries. In case of Kamrup there are 4 treasuries – Kamrup, Dispur, New Guwahati, Rangia.
Admin please help,
I am about to fill up the mains form. I don’t have the degree certificate from the university in my hand, only the provisional certificate is there with me from the college. Will this be acceptable or will my application be rejected.Have all the semester markscards.
@admin: What should be written in the “Name of the Treasury” column in the APSC Mains form? Kindly inform.
@animesh,
Source?
dey dragged it till jan and now revealing dat d court case needs to clear.
Source pls. This is disgusting.
The result of the CC Mains 2013 Examination will be declared only after getting clearance from The Hon’ble Gauhati High Court and which is most probably scheduled in the month of Feb 2015. Any body having contact with the Gauhati High Court may enquire into the date of case.
admin, please let me know what is the validity of OBC Non Creamy Layer certificate. My obc ncl certificate is 1 yr 6 month old. Do I need to renew it.
@Sourav,
They are asking for two character certificates from any two respectable persons. But they mustn’t not be related to you. That’s all. So, there shouldn’t be any problem. In our view, the certificate should state for how many years the issuing person knows you, besides stating that he/she has nothing against your character. We also suggest you provide address and contact number of the person in your certificate.
@Monica,
Thanks for the input. So, initially we were right about 2 photographs. Reverting back to the earlier edit.
@admin,
Step 8:
Signature would do. They are not bothered much about the date.
Step 9:
One photograph within d box provided and JUST one (01) more photograph (unsigned) to be pasted on the top left corner of the front page, as per the apsc officials assigned for form collection.
Mains 2013 results: Within Magh Bihu and First week of February.
@sourav,
Looks like that’s not important. But some guys submitted that last year.
