    • ashish says:

      hai anvesh,why did u wasted your 5 hours time.didn’t you read notification.HMWS jobs are only for people who belongs to Zone-6 not for all zones

  16. Anvesh says:

    hi i am getting 83 in gs and 220 in computer science total 310/450.What will be cut off.Is I will get any chance

  17. RatnaBabu says:

    Hi friends,
    Can you share the key for GS and Computer science. How you calculated your marks and what would be the expected results release date.
    Thank you.

  18. jagan says:

    i am getting 330/450 marks in computer science.

    • ravi says:

      from which zone.if u are 6th zone u wil get easily

      • jagan says:

        there is no zone preference in this exam.because it is open that the posting is not related to zone hmwssb is there in hyderabad only.so open competetive and preference on caste vacancies.

        i belongs to bc-d.

        • Raj says:

          HMWSSB comes under Zone VI and the rest of the Zone’s candidates will be non local. Please check the notification once again.

          • srikanth says:

            is there any chance for non local candidates??????
            i got 315/450 in electrical…
            is there any chance to me???

    • mani says:

      can any one please tell the expected results date for this exam?

      • Raj says:

        For non local candidates(other than Zone VI) first we should come to know whether there are any vacancies in their category(i.e,OC,BC,SC,ST,Woman,General(men) etc) in the respective branches then we can analyze on the cutoff

        • jagan says:

          hmwssb comes under zone 6 but for local and non local the marks variation is 5 to 7 marks that is if a local candidate gets 300 marks then the non local candidate have to get 305.thats the difference betwwen a local and non local candidate.preference will be given those who get highest marks not to the guys who belongs to zone 6.

          • Raj says:

            The difference between local and non local marks we cannot predict. But the final break up of the vacancies(local/non local) will be know only after the results and during the certificate verification.
            For the local vacancies only zone 6 candidates merit list will be prepared and the non local list will be combination of all zones including Zone 6 depending on number of non local vacancies.
            So there is high chance for getting a job to zone 6 compare to other Zones. Hopefully my inputs are correct

          • ram says:

            appsc will fix the cutoff for both local and non local candidates if all the candidates who belongs to zone 6 get the highest marks then they will be get selected if a non local candidate gets that cut off then preference will be given to non local candidate only .

          • ram says:

            in appsc a local candidate can prefer to anothe zone if he wants job in that zone so if he gets the cut off that was kept by the commission then he will be selected
            so a non local candidate has to get 5-10 marks more than the local candidate to get selected.

            dont put ur comments un necessarily knowing nothing about zone preferences.

        • jagan says:

          mostly the cutoff will be 300 to get selected for hmwssb managers.

        • ram says:

          a local candidate can prefer a job in other zone where he will be considered as a non local candidate so ther is no rule in appsc that only local candidates will get the jobs in their zone but 5-7 marks difference will be ther foe local and non local candidate.

  19. manohar says:

    Hi friends,

  20. Karthik says:

    but the posts are belonging to zone 6.

  26. srikanth says:

    i am oc and belongs to zone 3.
    is there any chance to me.
    in gs i got 115 and in paper 2 i got 200.
    but the posts are belongs to zone 6.
    please give me ur valuable suggestions….

    • srikanth says:

      plz respond as soon as possible……

      • Raj says:

        For branches other than Civil engineering the number of posts are very less(Mech 7,Elec 8,ECE 5 and CSC/IT 5). We dont have the break up of vacancies to local(zone 6) and non local(other than zone 6). Also we are not sure whether there r any vacancies for non locals in their respective categories(i.e,OC,BC,SC,ST,Woman,General(men) etc). I feel its bit tough to predict at this stage.

      • rohit says:

        but sorry to say that these posts are only for zone 6
        candidates not for other zones

        • srikanth says:

          hi rohit………
          i am srikanth.
          in notification 40% seats are belongs to non local candidates……..
          in electrical total posts are 8.
          nonlocal posts are only one.
          is there any one got more than 317/450……..in electrical……
          please reply……………thank you rohit and ram,raj for ur valuable suggestions………from sirkanth…

    • ram says:

      there is pretty good chance to get hmwssb posts belongs to zone 6 but if one gets highest marks he will be selected irrespactive of zone preference
      but for local and non local the marks variation is 5-10 marks.

      that is a if a local candidate gets 300 and gets selected
      for a non local candidate to gets selectyed he should get 305 to 310.

  27. Archana says:

    can any one send me HMWS civil engineering key please friends…

  28. karthik says:

    im getting 340/450 , i belong to ece, is there any chance for me ?

  29. srikanth says:

    hi karthik which zone do u belongs……………..??

  30. suresh says:

    can anyone send CS answer key plz and when will the results be declared any idea?

  31. karthik says:

    i belong to zone4, im getting 80 in gs nd 260 in technical paper

  32. Karthik says:

    Dear Students,

    cutoff will be mostly 300 for OC,don’t believe any fake news,highest marks in all technical exams conducted by APPSC in EEE/ECE/MECH/CIVIL/INSTRUMENTATION/CSE is 300-310

    Don’t believe fake news..

  33. TJAC says:

    additionally 6 more posts have been added to hmwssb.

  34. Karthik says:

    Hi,
    Ram:It’s not like that,60% jobs are zone 6
    Eg:5 seats in electrical,so only 3 are specific to Zone-6,remaining 2 has competition among all zones including zone 6.
    Jagan:As notification seats gave for all branches combined.For general 23 ,14-women
    So who got top 24irrespeive of branch will get the job..As total 84 jobs(84-84*60/100),30 will be non-local including zonal.
    So if u want job u should be in top 30..and their exists jobs in your specific branch.
    So which branch empty places are left,they are filled by reservation and so on.
    Jagan as you are scoring 330,you will get.

    • Raj says:

      Its not that top 30 will get selected. It depends on the branch also. Even though the the break up is the consolidated(as per category/reservation) the lsit will be prepared branch wise. Apart from civil engineering the vacancies are as (Mech 7,Elec 8,ECE 5 and CSC/IT 5).
      So if you are from ECE then you should be top 5 in u r barnch..subjected to local/non local/reservation vacancies.

  35. Shakir hussain says:

    I have got 380/450 4m ece branch..from zone6…wil i get job.?

  36. Karthik says:

    Raj:No,It’s purely merit list and top 30,there is no question on that.For example see notification http://website.apspsc.gov.in/Documents/NOTIFICATIONS/149.pdf–>How the break up of positions given in notification itself.

    Take assistant forest conservator exam in that all are selected from Environmental and Mathematics ,bcoz as no one from ECE or EEE to gain 360 marks .

    Like wise here is also same,who gets top on merit basis they will get irrespective of branch,otherwise it will create problem unncessarily for appsc and students.
    Some will say why their is no reservation in my branch,as they are only 5 how appsc is going to split–>It is pure merit based i.e., top 30. who gets and their exsists vacancy in their respective branches then only filled,

    • Raj says:

      Karthik,
      I am not sure why you are getting confused. In the notification it self they clearly mentioned the number of vacancies in each branch..how can u expect more than the ones in the notification. Once the results are declared and during certficate verification they will provide one more break up of vacancies branch ,local/non- local/community/Gender wise.

    • Raj says:

      Karthik, For Asst consv of forests the qualification is
      degree in any of the desciplines mentioned in notification. But for managers HMWSSb the qualification is the Engineering degree in the respective Engr branches..Let say if you are from ECE..do you think that you will fit in the job with Manager(Civil Engineering) as Qualification?In the notification they clearly mentioned the qualification for each post code. Even though it is one vaacancy or 1000 vacancies they will provide the details break up during the certficate verification.

    • jagan says:

      hai karthik

      what rajesh told is exactly right.
      when taken into consideration os assis conservative of forests the qualification is any degree so there is no concept of particulary this branch will get this limited no of posts so who ever got top marks will be sortlisted so environmental and maths students got selected.

      but when taken into consideration of hmwssb the posts are related to particulr engineering branch.

      so in the notification how many posts are allocated to a aparticular engg branch that much guys who got to marks will be called for certificate verification.

      clear.

  37. rajesh says:

    when the results are going to be get released.

  59. santosh says:

    appsc people are not placing corrected keys after objections in site im from ece branch

  60. pintu says:

    hi guys i am getting 335 ece belongs to zone 5 oc ………is there any chance as the posts only belong to zon6 6 though i lost hopes but a little anxiety …….and in the notification they have m,entioned 23 posts for general on overall basis but they didn’t gave break up vacancies for branches so i am really hopeless
    i hope some one react to this……..(;-

    • jagan says:

      hai
      its not like that the posts are not to zone 6 only
      according to the notification

      60% of posts are allocated only for zone 6 students
      and
      40% of posts are allocated to all zones including zone 6 also(zone 1,2,3,4,5,6)

      so if we are in the top 40% of posts allocated to particular branch then we are selected.

      • ravi says:

        u r absolutely wrong man,posts are belong to zone 6 only.in 5 posts only 1 post for non local candidates got it…………………..

    • Raj says:

      Pintu..its simple Mathematics..As per notification for ECE Br 5 posts are there …3(60%) for zone 6 and 2(40%) for rest of the zones including zone 6. since u r from Zone 5..Out of 2 posts..u need to check whether any vacancies r there for u r particular caste/gender/Phisically handicap etc..which will be known at time of certificate verification..same is the case for rest of the branches as published in the notification..Also note that 23 for General is for all branches..in that majority are for Civil engineering…as it has 59 posts in the notification..

  61. raju says:

    iam getting 254 4m cse zon6.can i have a chance of getting job.

    I think all hmwssb manager posts are backdoor and fixed. They even didnt keep marks list…they have directly kept the list of selected candidates. so i doubt APPSC.
