The Telangana Public Service Commission has opened applications for 102 Mandal Planning and Statistical Officer and Assistant Statistical Officer posts in the Directorate of Economics and Statistics. The TGPSC MPSO ASO Recruitment 2026 runs under Notification No. 07/G/ES/2026, dated 28 October 2026, and the last date to apply online is 27 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. The posts carry a pay scale of Rs 36,750 to Rs 1,06,990, and the written exam is tentatively set for January 2027.

Applications go through tgpsc.gov.in, and the first step is One Time Registration if you do not already have a TGPSC ID.

Who can apply: the Statistics degree rule is the real filter

The post count gets the attention, but the degree rule decides who can actually apply. The notification lists five routes to eligibility, and every one of them runs through Statistics.

A Bachelor's degree with Statistics as a main subject qualifies outright. The other four routes accept a degree in Mathematics, Economics, Commerce or Computer Science, but only when Statistics was a paper in at least one year of that degree. A plain B.Com or B.Sc Maths degree with no Statistics paper in any year does not meet the rule, so check your marks memos before you pay the fee.

The qualification must be held as on 28 October 2026, the date of the notification. A result declared after that date does not count, even if the exam was written earlier. Degrees earned through distance education need recognition from the UGC, AICTE or Distance Education Bureau, and the notification puts the burden of proving that recognition on the applicant.

On age, the window is 18 to 44 years as on 1 July 2026. That upper limit is unusually generous for a state commission post, because G.O.Ms.No.86 dated 18 May 2026 raised it from 34 to 44 years. Anyone who assumed they had aged out of Telangana government jobs should check this notification again.

Relaxation on top of that gives SC, ST, BC and EWS candidates 5 more years and physically handicapped candidates 10 more years. Telangana State Government employees get up to 5 years based on length of regular service, and ex-servicemen and NCC instructors get 3 years plus the length of service rendered.

102 posts across seven zones, and 95 of them are local

The 102 posts are split across seven zones. Charminar takes the largest share with 25 posts, followed by Bhadradri with 17 and Rajanna with 15. Basara has 14, Kaleshwaram and Jogulamba have 12 each, and Yadadri has 7.

The zones are drawn on district lines. Zone I Kaleshwaram covers Kumram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Peddapalli, Jayashankar Bhupalapalli and Mulugu districts, while Zone II Basara covers Adilabad, Nirmal, Nizamabad and Jagtiyal. The full district mapping for all seven zones is in the notification.

These are zonal cadre posts, so local reservation applies, and the split in Annexure I of the notification makes the point bluntly. Only 7 of the 102 posts are open unreserved seats, one in each zone. The remaining 95 are local posts.

Candidates from outside Telangana can apply, but they compete for those 7 open seats and get no reservation benefit. Local status even breaks ties in the merit list.

What the January exam looks like

The written exam has two objective papers, and both carry equal weight. Paper I is General Studies and General Abilities. Paper II is Statistics at degree level.

Each paper has 150 questions, 150 marks and 150 minutes, for a total of 300 marks across 300 minutes. Both papers are bilingual in English and Telugu. Paper II follows the degree level Statistics syllabus in the notification. It runs from probability and sampling to correlation and regression, and covers time series and index numbers as well.

The qualifying marks are 40 percent for OC, EWS and sportspersons, and 35 percent for BC candidates. SC, ST and PH candidates need 30 percent. Clearing the qualifying mark does not guarantee selection, since allotment runs on merit and the web options candidates exercise for zone preference.

The Commission will hold the exam either as an OMR based offline test or as a Computer Based Recruitment Test, and it will announce the mode separately. Exam centres are Hyderabad including HMDA jurisdiction, Karimnagar, Khammam, Warangal and Nizamabad. Hall tickets will be available to download from 7 days before the exam.

Both papers are compulsory, and missing either one disqualifies the candidate outright. There is no interview in this recruitment.

The fee: Rs 1,000 for most, plus an Rs 80 exam fee

The application processing fee is Rs 1,000 for OC and BC applicants and Rs 500 for SC, ST and PwD applicants. On top of that, every applicant pays an Rs 80 examination fee, except unemployed applicants, who are exempt from the exam fee. Government employees, including staff of Central and State Governments, PSUs and corporations, must pay the exam fee. Payment goes through net banking, debit card, credit card or UPI.

The fee is steep for a state recruitment, and the notification is blunt that it will not be refunded or adjusted under any circumstances. An application with incomplete payment is rejected outright, so the order of work matters here. Confirm the degree rule and the age cut off first, then pay.

How to apply on tgpsc.gov.in

Start with One Time Registration on tgpsc.gov.in if you have not registered before, since that generates your TGPSC ID. Candidates who already have a TGPSC ID can go straight to the online application link for Notification No. 07/G/ES/2026.

Log in with the TGPSC ID and date of birth, then verify with the OTP sent to the registered mobile number. The form pulls your details from the OTR database, so check every field on screen before you proceed. Then select your exam centre and preview the full application. Click Save and Payment to pay the fee through the gateway.

After payment, download the PDF of the submitted application and keep its Reference ID number for all future correspondence.

One Time Registration alone is not an application for this post, and a candidate who only completes OTR has not applied at all. The Commission also says it will not accept any correspondence asking for an extension after the closing date, so 27 November at 5:00 PM is a hard stop. For technical problems with the application or hall ticket download, the helpdesk is on 040-23120301 or 040-23120302, and on [email protected], between 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM on working days.

Telangana is not the only state commission hiring right now. The UPPSC RO ARO recruitment has 501 Samiksha Adhikari posts open till 26 November, and the APPSC Group 2 notification is out as well. Odisha's OPSC ASO recruitment is another state commission opening worth a look for candidates tracking assistant level posts.
