APCRDA Deputy Director & Assistant Director Recruitment 2026 – 3 Posts

Yes, APCRDA Recruitment 2026 is out. The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) has released Employment Notification 6-2026 for 3 vacancies of Deputy Director and Assistant Director, both roles focused on international engagement, multilateral agency coordination and institutional strategic affairs for Amaravati's capital region development work. APCRDA is the statutory body responsible for planning and developing Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh's greenfield capital region, and regularly recruits specialised professionals on contract for policy, planning and international-liaison functions that sit outside the usual engineering/administrative recruitment track. The Deputy Director role requires at least 5 years of experience specifically in international engagement, multilateral agency relations or institutional strategic affairs, while the Assistant Director role is a 2-years-experience entry point into similar work, requiring familiarity with documentation cycles like concept notes and progress reports. Both posts draw from a similar academic pool — MBA or a Master's in International Relations, Public Policy, Economics, Urban Planning, Development Studies or Law — reflecting the cross-disciplinary, policy-facing nature of the roles. Eligible candidates can apply online through the official APCRDA careers portal on or before 27 August 2026. Since this is a specialised contract-based recruitment with a small number of vacancies, candidates should read the full official notification PDF carefully to confirm the exact documentation and interview process before applying.
