What does NJD (Non-Joining Duty) mean?
NJD stands for Non-Joining Duty. It refers to a vacancy that arises when a candidate who was advised for a post fails to join duty. KPSC then advises another candidate from the same ranked list to fill this NJD vacancy, ensuring no post remains vacant due to a candidate’s non-joining.
