Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by Public Service Commissions (like KPSC) detailing the candidates who have been advised for appointment against reported vacancies from an active ranked list.

Q2: What does ‘Fresh Vacancy’ mean?
‘Fresh Vacancy’ refers to newly reported vacancies that have arisen due to retirements, creation of new posts, or other reasons, and are now being filled from the active ranked list.
Q3: What are ‘Anticipatory Vacancies’?
Anticipatory Vacancies are those that are expected to arise in the near future (e.g., within the next financial year) and are sometimes filled in advance to ensure continuous service delivery, based on projections.
Q4: What are TPO, NJD, and NCA turns?
