Chhattisgarh ADPO Vacancy 2026: Detailed Overview 

If you're applying for the Chhattisgarh ADPO exam 2026, make sure you know the vacancy details.  

CGPSC has announced 15 vacancies for the Assistant District Prosecution Officer in Chhattisgarh for 2026.  

These 15 posts include roughly 10 fresh posts and 5 backlog posts, and CGPSC reserves the right to revise the vacancy count before final selection.  

Chhattisgarh ADPO Category-wise Vacancy 2026  

The 15 posts are distributed across categories as reported below. This breakdown matters more than it looks. In a small-vacancy exam, your realistic competition is not "15 seats for everyone" but the handful of seats within your category.  

Category	Vacancies
General / Unreserved (UR)	6
Scheduled Tribe (ST)	5
Other Backward Classes (OBC)	2
Scheduled Caste (SC)	2
Total Vacancies	15

A few things worth reading into this distribution:  

• ST reservation is notably high (5 of 15). This reflects Chhattisgarh's demographic and reservation structure. ST-category law graduates in the state have a genuinely favourable seat-to-candidate ratio here compared with most national exams. 
• The General bucket (6 seats) is where the sharpest competition sits, since unreserved candidates from all categories compete for it on merit. 
• No separate EWS or PwD line is confirmed in the summary reporting. Horizontal reservations (PwD, women, ex-servicemen) and any EWS quota, if applicable, are governed by Chhattisgarh Government rules and applied within these figures.  
• Backlog posts can skew the category split. Because the 15 reportedly include backlog vacancies, the category-wise numbers reflect carried-forward reserved seats and may not mirror a "normal" cycle's distribution.

Who Should Not Miss Out on the Chhattisgarh ADPO Vacancy 2026?

• You are a Chhattisgarh-domicile law graduate. The 40-year upper limit is unusually generous and gives you multiple genuine attempts. 
• You are energised by criminal law and courtroom advocacy rather than drafting and desk work. 
• You want a gazetted government legal career without the 3-year-practice hurdle that complicates the Judiciary route. 
• You are a practising advocate looking for stability and are comfortable with objective-paper preparation.  

Here are the key takeaways:  

• CGPSC ADPO Vacancy 2026 is live for 15 posts under Advt. No. 03/2026; apply between 22 June and 21 July 2026. 
• Eligibility needs an LLB and Indian citizenship; upper age is 40 for CG locals, 30 for outsiders (as on 1st Jan 2026). 
• There is no 3-year practice rule here, making it an accessible target for fresh graduates. 
• Despite limited vacancies, this could be a great opportunity especially for Chhattisgarh domicile candidates.
