My daughter completed her schooling from LKG to 10th class in Andhra Pradesh,followed by two years of Intermediate education in Telangana in 2026. Would she be considered a local candidate of Andhra Pradesh for APPSC competetive examinations?

For Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission exams, “local candidate” status is decided based on study/residence in a particular state/zone for a specified number of years (generally 4 consecutive years immediately before the qualifying exam, or 7 years of study overall in that area) as per the local status rules followed by the Andhra Pradesh government. Since your daughter studied LKG to 10th in Andhra Pradesh (about 10 years) and then Intermediate (11th–12th) in Telangana, she may still be considered a local candidate of Andhra Pradesh if she satisfies the required years of study/residence criteria in AP, but this can vary depending on the specific notification and zone-wise rules of APPSC.
