Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) detailing the candidates advised for appointment against reported vacancies from a published ranked list. It specifies the advised candidate’s details, the post, department, and the specific turn (e.g., Open Competition, Scheduled Caste, NJD) against which the advice is made.
What does ‘NJD’ (Non-Joining Duty) mean?
NJD stands for Non-Joining Duty. It refers to a vacancy that arises when a candidate, despite being advised for appointment, fails to join duty within the stipulated time. Such vacancies are then re-reported to the KPSC and compensated by advising another candidate from the same ranked list, following the existing rotation rules.
How do I know if I have been advised for appointment?
If you are on an active ranked list, you can regularly check your KPSC Thulasi profile on the official website. KPSC also publishes appointment charts and advice memos. Advised candidates typically receive an SMS or email notification, and an advice memo will be available in their profile.
What is the next step after being advised in an Appointment Chart?
After being advised, candidates usually undergo a document verification process by the appointing department. This is followed by a medical examination. Upon successful completion of these formalities, a formal appointment order will be issued by the concerned department.
What is ‘Rotation’ in KPSC appointments?
Rotation refers to the system KPSC follows to ensure fair representation of various communities (Open Competition, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, EWS, etc.) as per reservation rules. It dictates the sequence in which candidates from different categories are advised from a ranked list to fill vacancies.
What are NCA and TPO turns?
NCA (No Candidate Available): This turn arises when no suitable candidate is available from a particular reservation category in the ranked list at the time of advice. Such turns are carried forward and filled in subsequent advices when a suitable candidate becomes available.
TPO (Thrown Out): This turn occurs when a candidate advised for a specific category (e.g., SC/ST/OBC) is later found eligible under the Open Competition (OC) category based on their rank. The original reserved turn then becomes ‘thrown out’ and is filled by another candidate from that specific reserved category in the next advice.
