Understanding NJD Vacancies
NJD (Non-Joining Duty) vacancies occur when a candidate who was previously advised for appointment fails to join the post. These vacancies are then reported to the recruiting body (KPSC in this case) and are filled by advising the next eligible candidate(s) from the active ranked list, strictly adhering to the reservation roster and rotation rules. This ensures that all sanctioned posts are eventually filled.
Next Steps for Advised Candidates
Candidates whose names appear in this Appointment Chart (SOORAJ S and SURESH K) have been advised for appointment. They should now:
