APCOB Vacancy 2026: Post-Wise and District-Wise Details
- A total of 339 vacancies have been notified across the six DCCBs. The table below gives the post-wise number of vacancies for each district.
- Out of the total notified vacancies, a fixed number of posts in each district (except Vizianagaram) are earmarked exclusively for in-service employees of Primary Agriculture Co-operative Societies (PACS) affiliated to that DCCB, subject to those candidates meeting the eligibility criteria specified in the notification. Category-wise (OC/BC/SC/ST/EWS) and PwBD/Ex-Servicemen break-up of vacancies is given separately in each district's official notification PDF, since the reservation percentage varies slightly by district.

Local Candidate (Domicile) Eligibility
- Each DCCB recruits only for its own district's requirements, so candidates must be local to the erstwhile district of the post they are applying for.

Local status is generally determined based on either of the following:
- Having studied in an educational institution in the local area for at least 4 consecutive academic years up to the SSC (or equivalent) examination; or
- Having resided in the local area for at least 4 years immediately preceding the SSC (or equivalent) examination, if not covered under the study criterion above.
- Candidates who do not meet the 4-year local criterion may still be considered local under a 7-year study/residence criterion within the state, as detailed in the respective official notification.
