Goa PSC Assistant Public Prosecutor Recruitment 2026: 20 Directorate of Prosecution Posts

Goa PSC Assistant Public Prosecutor Recruitment 2026 offers 20 Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) posts in the Directorate of Prosecution, Goa, under Advertisement No. 11 Year 2026. The Goa Public Service Commission (GPSC) published it on 13 November 2026. Online forms are accepted until 27 November 2026 for all posts except one. That one is a deputation post, filled by officers already in service elsewhere, and its form runs until 27 December 2026. You need a law degree, two years’ practice as an advocate and working knowledge of Konkani. The age limit is 45, and the pay is Level 10 of the revised pay matrix (a step on the government pay scale; no rupee figure is printed). The same advertisement also has 28 other posts in medical, engineering and social welfare departments.

Goa PSC Assistant Public Prosecutor Recruitment 2026: 11 open seats and no SC post

One of the 20 posts is kept for a person with a disability in the blindness and low vision group (Advt page 2). It is part of the 20, not an extra post. There is no SC post in this list.

Goa PSC APP rules: a law degree, two years’ practice as an advocate and working Konkani

Page 2 of the advertisement asks for three things:

1. A degree in law from a recognised university, or an equivalent.
2. Practice as an advocate for two years.
3. Knowledge of Konkani.

Knowledge of Marathi is desirable, not essential. The upper age is 45. Neither file says on which date age is counted.

The Konkani rule is strict for this post. The Instructions (pages 12 and 13) grade Konkani as fluent, working knowledge or no knowledge. You need at least working knowledge, or you are not eligible. An expert checks it at the interview. The advertisement allows Konkani to be relaxed only for Group A posts in professional colleges and for consultants in the Directorate of Health Services (Advt page 1). The APP post, in the Directorate of Prosecution, is neither. On this wording the relaxation does not appear to cover it.

Timing matters too. Instructions page 3 says you must hold valid qualification and essential experience certificates on the day you submit the form. If your two years at the Bar finish after that day, the candidature would appear to be invalid on that wording.

Goa PSC fee: Goa caste certificates halve it, other-state ones do not

SC, ST, OBC, CFF (children of freedom fighters) and EWS candidates from other states must apply as General category. They pay the General fee of Rs 1,000 (Instructions pages 4 and 5). The fee is not refundable.

You can pay online by net banking or by card. Debit cards and net banking have no charges and update within 24 hours. A payment by credit (rather than debit) card can take 3 days to show as successful, and the gateway may add charges. You can also pay cash at any SBI branch in Goa with an e-challan, a payment slip printed from the portal. The stamped e-challan must then reach the Commission’s office by 27 November 2026. SBI takes the cash only on bank working days (Instructions page 4). A payment made after the last date is rejected, with no refund (Advt page 1).

Who may be older than 45 on the Goa PSC APP form

The contract-staff relaxation applies only if your first contract job came through an advertisement. You also need a certificate from your Head of Department in the format on Instructions page 6. The Instructions add that the maximum relaxation is whatever the Goa government notifies from time to time (page 5).

1:5 shortlisting and 50, 45 or 40 per cent: how GPSC picks APPs

The Commission checks eligibility only at the interview stage, against your original documents (Instructions page 7). If many people apply, it may call only five candidates for each post (a 1:5 ratio). It may shortlist by a computer-based recruitment test (CBRT), by marks in the qualifying exam, by higher qualifications, by extra experience or by other criteria (page 8). The Instructions do not fix which of these is used for the APP post. GPSC says it will announce any test in advance (page 13).

Page 8 sets the minimum qualifying marks for the CBRT and the interview:

• General, EWS and ex-servicemen: 50%
• OBC, PwD and CFF: 45%
• SC and ST: 40%

CBRT questions carry a fifth option, “(e) none of the above”. A grievance about a question costs Rs 100 per question and must reach GPSC within two working days of the question paper being posted (page 9). If you skip the interview without telling the Commission in advance with a good reason, you cannot apply again for the same post (page 18).

Separate forms, CGPA converted, no edits after payment: the Goa PSC steps

1. Register on gpsc.goa.gov.in or the Computer Based Examination Portal at cbes.goa.gov.in, and note your user ID and password.
2. Fill a separate form for each post if you apply for more than one (Instructions page 1).
3. Give your marks as a percentage. If your university uses CGPA, convert it with the table on Instructions page 2 (for example, 6.25 is 55% and 7.25 is 65%). Ignoring this may lead to rejection.
4. Upload a scanned passport-size photo and signature.
5. Pay the fee and download the e-receipt. After payment the form cannot be edited (Instructions page 4), and it can be downloaded only after payment (Advt page 1).

A mistake can still be fixed in one narrow way. E-mail the Commission within three days after the last date, explaining the error. You are then allowed one edit within a week (Instructions page 3). For help with the form or payment, call 8530499686 between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM on working days. Calls to the office phone are not taken.

If you already work for a government body, tell your employer. Any objection from the employer must reach GPSC within 15 days of the closing date, or it is treated as approval (page 7).

Medical, engineering and disability-welfare posts sharing Advt 11

Every post has an age limit of 45 and needs Konkani, except the deputation post, which is for officers already holding similar posts. The Konkani waiver on page 1 covers only Group A posts in professional colleges and consultants in the Directorate of Health Services. Even then, it applies only when no suitable Konkani-knowing candidate is found. The medical lecturer posts need a PG degree and three years as a Senior Resident, Registrar, Tutor or Demonstrator after it. The two disability-department posts need a master’s degree in social work or a related subject and five years’ social work experience (Advt pages 1 to 4). The pay levels above are as printed; the advertisement gives no rupee amounts.

After the Goa PSC APP interview: medical test, antecedents and the Goa government’s offer

GPSC only recommends names. The appointing authority is the Goa government (Instructions page 14). Before appointment, selected candidates face a medical test and a check of their antecedents and certificates (page 15). If you want a higher starting pay, you must give reasons in the application form itself (page 14).
