Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What does ‘NJD’ mean in KPSC context?
A: NJD stands for ‘Non-Joining Duty’. It refers to a vacancy that arises when a candidate advised for appointment from a ranked list does not join duty. Such a vacancy is then reported back to KPSC for fresh advice from the same ranked list.
Q2: What are ‘NCA’ and ‘TPO’ turns?
A: ‘NCA’ (No Candidate Available) refers to a situation where no candidate from a particular reservation category is available in the ranked list for advice. ‘TPO’ (Turns Passed Over) means a turn for a particular community/category is temporarily passed over if no suitable candidate is available at that point in the ranked list, but it will be satisfied later when a candidate becomes available.
Q3: How long is a KPSC Ranked List valid?
A: Typically, a KPSC ranked list is valid for a minimum period of one year and a maximum period of four years from the date of its finalization, or until a new ranked list for the same post is published, whichever is earlier.
Q4: What documents should I keep ready after being advised?
A: You should keep all original educational certificates, caste/community certificates (if applicable), age proof, identity proof (Aadhaar/PAN), and any other certificates mentioned in the original notification ready. Also, have multiple sets of self-attested photocopies.
Q5: Is there any medical examination required for KPSC appointments?
A: Yes, almost all KPSC appointments require a medical fitness examination conducted by a government medical officer or board, as specified by the appointing department.
Q6: How will I receive my appointment letter?
A: The appointment letter is usually sent by post to the candidate’s communication address by the concerned department. It is also advisable to check the department’s official website for any public notices or updates regarding appointments.
Q7: Can I decline the appointment if I get a better offer?
A: Yes, a candidate can decline an appointment. However, it’s important to formally inform the appointing department in writing about your decision. Declining an appointment will result in the vacancy being reported as an NJD turn.
