Ex-servicemen: The relaxation (in age or other qualifications) available under the Recruitment Rules depends on the length of service you have served in the Armed Forces, and will also be supplemented by other additional relaxations as per the Recruitment Rules. In simple words, the benefits ex-servicemen receive are determined by taking into account both their service record (length of service) and the specific government rules set for that job.

AP Mega DSC 2025 - Category-Wise Vacancy Details
| Category | Vacancy Count | Official Vacancy Position |
|---|---|---|
| OC / Open Competition | Roster-wise | No single statewide OC total is consolidated for all 16,347 posts; use the relevant management/district-zone/post/subject roster. |
| EWS | Roster-wise | EWS vacancies are published within the applicable recruitment-unit and post/subject roster, not as one statewide grand total. |
| BC-A | Roster-wise | Exact BC-A vacancies depend on the official roster for the concerned management, district/zone, post and subject. |
| BC-B | Roster-wise | Exact BC-B vacancies depend on the official roster for the concerned management, district/zone, post and subject. |
| BC-C | Roster-wise | Exact BC-C vacancies depend on the official roster for the concerned management, district/zone, post and subject. |
| BC-D | Roster-wise | Exact BC-D vacancies depend on the official roster for the concerned management, district/zone, post and subject. |
| BC-E | Roster-wise | Exact BC-E vacancies depend on the official roster for the concerned management, district/zone, post and subject. |
| SC Group-I | Roster-wise | SC Group-I numerical vacancies are read from the applicable official recruitment roster. |
| SC Group-II | Roster-wise | SC Group-II numerical vacancies are read from the applicable official recruitment roster. |
| SC Group-III | Roster-wise | SC Group-III numerical vacancies are read from the applicable official recruitment roster. |
| ST | Roster-wise | ST vacancies are shown in the relevant recruitment-unit and post/subject roster. |
| Women | Horizontal | Women reservation is adjusted within the vertical category and is not added as a separate statewide total. |
| PwBD | Horizontal | PwBD vacancies apply to identified posts/categories and are not added again to the vertical vacancy total. |
| Ex-Servicemen | Horizontal | This horizontal reservation applies where the notified roster for the post/recruitment unit provides it. |
| Meritorious Sportspersons | 3% Horizontal | Sports reservation is applied horizontally under the notified Government orders and applicable roster. |
Why Statewide Category Numbers Are Not Shown: The official documents of government recruitment do not show all the 16,347 posts together and separately according to categories like General (OC), EWS, BC or SC/ST. This is because how many seats there will be for which category, it completely depends on which department (management) the job is in, which district or zone it is in, what is the post and what is the subject. Since different rosters (reservation rules) apply at each level, it would be completely wrong and misleading to arbitrarily fix any single statewide total for the entire state.
