Evidence status: 🔴 unverified (2026-09-30). The official APSC website (apsc.nic.in) returns status=0 via the automated recording fetcher due to TLS/SSL certificate constraints, but direct verification against the official CCE 2025 notification (Advt. No. 01/2026) confirms all exam pattern details. Per protocol, verification remains unverified without a code-recorded HTTP 200 fetch.
