In the Government order 1st read above, the programme of selection of candidates was envisaged. Based on the standard of the examination, the posts were grouped into Group-I, Group-II, Group-ill&. Group-IV services etc. The recruitments are being made through written examination followed by an interview wherever necessary as per the programme issued from time to time.
2. In Government order 2nd read above, orders have been issued clubbing all twenty categories of posts into one Group-I services.
3. In Government order 3rd read above, orders have been issued clubbing all categories of posts under Group-II (A) and Group-II (B) services as Group-II services.
4. In G.O.Ms.No.420, G.A.(Ser.A) Dept., dated 27.07.2011, the conduct of interview system for all the services except the Group-I services and certain posts under Gazetted categories as indicated therein, has been dispensed with and accordingly selections are being made to the various categories of posts under State Government services.
5. In the meantime, the Chairman 1/c, A.P. Public Service Commission in his letter dated 30.04.2011 has proposed certain recommendations / suggestions to bring reforms in the functioning of Commission. Accordingly, Government have constituted a Committee in G.O.6th read with G.O.7th read above to submit a report on the suggestions / recommendations made by the Commission. The Committee, after holding detailed discussions at its meeting from time to time and considering the suggestions in the reference 4th and 5th read above has submitted its report in the reference 8th read above. One of the recommendations, among others, is merger of Executive posts in Group-II services into Group-I services and to conduct a common examination for selection of these posts.
6. The Committee has observed that the Degree qualification has been prescribed both for Group-I services as well as Executive posts in Group-II services. The Executive posts in Group-II services are also important focal posts and these posts require public interface and good communication skills. The Group-I service examination has objective papers for the Preliminary Examination and descriptive format for Main Examination as opposed to only objective type for Group-II services. It has therefore been felt that Group-I examination format would be a better test of candidates' knowledge, analytical ability and communication skills. This is a pattern being followed by UPSC for the Central Civil Service examination. The Committee has therefore recommended to merge the existing Executive posts under Group-II Services with Group-I Services and a new Group I (B) Service may be formed and to hold the common examination for Group-I (A) and Group-I (B) on the pattern of Central Civil Service Examination which is being followed by Union Public Service Commission. On the basis of marks obtained, the more meritorious candidates may be assigned to Group-I (A) Service and the persons lower down in the rank list may be assigned to the new Group-I (B) Services and therefore a new Group-I (B) Service may be formed.
7. Government have furnished the report of the Committee to the A.P. Public Service Commission in the reference 9th read above. The Commission has forwarded a report through the reference 10th read above.
8. Government after careful examination of entire matter have accepted the recommendation of merging the Executive posts under Group-II Services into Group-I Service and formation of a new Group-I (B) Service.
9. Accordingly, in supersession of orders issued in G.0.2nd and 3rd read above, the following amendment is issued to G.O.Ms.No.103, G.A. (Ser. A) Dept., dated 03.02.1967.
