APPSC CDPO Syllabus 2025: Exam Pattern, Syllabus, Books & FAQs

Updated On: August 4, 2025 5:55 pm IST by

The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has not yet released the official APPSC CDPO Syllabus 2025. Until it is published, candidates can confidently prepare using the previous examination pattern and syllabus that has remained largely unchanged for the last four cycles. This article distills that information into a clear, user-friendly guide while keeping the keyword density well below 0.5 %.
