Forest Service Exam<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
APPSC has conducted the written examination for Assistant Conservator of Forests in A.P. Forest Service on 08/04/2012. The total number of vacancies were 15 and the age limit was 18-28. This service is sub-ordinate to IFS (Indian Forest Service) at the state level and is equivalent to the Group-I (Group-I is sub-ordinate to All India Services).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The written examination is of objective type and comprises of 2 papers. Paper-I is General Studies and is common to all i.e., every one has to attempt the same paper. Paper-II is optional subject and the candidates are allowed to select 1 out of 21 optionals (like Agriculture, Electical Engineering, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Zoology, etc) at the time of submitting the application.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The General Studies paper (i.e., Paper-I) was set in both English and Telugu but the optional paper (i.e., Paper-II) was set in english only. This means the Telugu Medium students were at disadvantage (though the language of the papers was previsouly informed, in the notification itself, as English). It looks the most popular optional subject is Environmental Science because of its inter-disciplinary nature (i.e., students from any background can easily understand and correlate it), less syllabus, and multi-purpose benifits (Environment related knowledge is becoming more and more relevant now-a-days and more questions related to environment issues are being asked in Generatl Studies paper also, even at the UPSC level. So selecting Environmental Science can help the candidates in other examinations also).</div>
