Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Public Service Commission (PSC) that details the allocation of vacancies to candidates from a ranked list. It shows which candidates are advised for appointment against specific turns (reservations, open competition, etc.) and provides transparency on the filling process.
What do NJD, NCA, and TPO mean?
- NJD (Non-Joining Duty): Refers to vacancies that arise when a candidate advised for appointment does not join duty. These are re-notified.
- NCA (No Candidate Available): Indicates a turn where no suitable candidate is available from the respective community/category in the ranked list. Such turns are carried forward and re-notified in a subsequent notification.
- TPO (Turns Passed Over): Occurs when a turn belonging to a specific reservation category is temporarily passed over if no candidate from that category is immediately available, and an eligible candidate from another category is advised instead, with the original turn being filled later.
Why was the LC/AI vacancy kept unfilled for NCA?
As explicitly stated in the notification, the MR 1 – 8 LC/AI vacancy was kept unfilled for NCA (No Candidate Available) because there were no LC/AI candidates available in the current Ranked List for Lecturer in Geography. This means the turn will be notified again in a future NCA notification.
Why was an EWS turn passed over to an OC candidate?
The MR 1 – 9 EWS turn was passed over to an OC candidate because, at the time of advice, no eligible EWS candidate was available in the Ranked List. In such cases, the turn may be filled by an eligible candidate from another category (like OC) to avoid delaying the appointment process, with the original EWS turn being addressed when a suitable candidate becomes available.
What is a Ranked List in KPSC?
A Ranked List (also known as a Probability List or Select List) is a list of candidates arranged in order of merit, who have successfully cleared all stages of a recruitment process (written exam, interview, etc.) for a specific post. KPSC makes appointments from these ranked lists based on the number of vacancies and reservation rules.
How will I know if I am advised for appointment?
Candidates who are advised for appointment as per the Appointment Chart will typically receive an individual appointment letter from the Kerala Public Service Commission. It is advisable to regularly check the official KPSC website and your registered contact details for updates.
