Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Kerala PSC detailing the candidates who have been advised for appointment against reported vacancies from an active ranked list. It shows the rotation, category, and specific turn satisfied.
What does ‘NJD’ vacancy mean?
‘NJD’ stands for Non-Joining Duty vacancy. These are vacancies that arise when a candidate who was advised for appointment previously fails to join duty within the stipulated time, or if their candidature is canceled for other reasons. These vacancies are then re-reported to the PSC for fresh advice.
How soon will advised candidates receive their appointment letters?
Typically, appointment letters are dispatched by the appointing department within a few weeks to a couple of months after the release of the appointment chart. Candidates should regularly check their postal address and the official website for updates.
What is a ‘Ranked List’ and how long is it valid?
A Ranked List contains the names of candidates found suitable for appointment to a particular post, arranged in order of merit. KPSC ranked lists are generally valid for a minimum period of one year and a maximum period of three years from the date of finalization, or until a new ranked list is published, whichever is earlier.
What is ‘TPO’ (Turns Passed Over)?
TPO refers to ‘Turns Passed Over’. This happens when a turn reserved for a specific category (e.g., OBC, SC, ST) cannot be filled due to the non-availability of qualified candidates from that category in the ranked list. These turns are carried forward and satisfied when suitable candidates become available, often from future ranked lists or special recruitment drives.
