Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does an ‘Appointment Chart’ signify?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Public Service Commission detailing the candidates who have been advised for appointment against reported vacancies from an active ranked list. It marks a crucial step in the selection process, leading to the issuance of appointment orders.
What is an NJD turn?
NJD stands for ‘No Candidate Available’ or ‘Non-Joining Duty’. It refers to a vacancy that arose because a candidate advised for appointment either did not join duty or was unavailable for appointment. Such vacancies are then re-notified or compensated in subsequent appointment charts by advising the next eligible candidate from the ranked list, often following specific rotation rules.
What are TPO and NCA turns?
TPO (Thrown Out): This refers to turns reserved for specific communities or categories but could not be filled in the immediate rotation due to the non-availability of suitable candidates from that community/category at the time. These turns are then ‘thrown out’ to be satisfied later when candidates from the respective communities become available.
NCA (No Candidate Available): Similar to NJD, this signifies that no candidate was available for a specific reservation turn (e.g., Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Muslim). These turns are then carried forward to future selections for that specific category.
What happens after a candidate is ‘advised’ for appointment?
After a candidate is advised, the KPSC forwards their details to the concerned appointing authority (in this case, the Forests and Wildlife Department). The appointing authority then initiates the process for document verification, medical examination, and finally issues the official appointment order. Candidates must ensure all their documents are ready and respond to communications promptly.
How long is a KPSC ranked list generally valid?
Typically, a KPSC ranked list is valid for a minimum period of one year and a maximum period of three years from the date of its finalization. However, its validity can cease earlier if a new ranked list for the same post is published. It also remains valid until all candidates are advised or the validity period expires, whichever comes first.
What documents are generally required for joining after advice?
Candidates typically need to present original certificates along with self-attested copies for document verification. This includes educational qualification certificates (SSLC, Plus Two, Degree/Diploma), age proof, community/caste certificate (if applicable), non-creamy layer certificate (for OBC), EWS certificate, ID proof (Aadhar/PAN), photographs, and any other relevant experience certificates as per the original notification. A medical fitness certificate is also usually required.
