What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Kerala Public Service Commission that details the advice of candidates from the approved ranked lists to various government posts. It indicates which candidate has been selected for a specific vacancy, often mentioning the rotation (reservation roster turn) and the type of vacancy (e.g., Fresh, NJD – Non-Joining Duty, NCA – No Candidate Available, TPO – Turn Passed Over).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is a Non-Joining Duty (NJD) vacancy?
A: An NJD (Non-Joining Duty) vacancy arises when a candidate advised for appointment fails to join duty within the stipulated time. Such vacancies are then re-notified or filled from the existing ranked list by advising the next eligible candidate according to the reservation roster.
Q2: How does KPSC determine which candidate is advised for an NJD vacancy?
A: KPSC follows the existing ranked list and the communal rotation/reservation roster. When an NJD vacancy arises for a specific turn (e.g., an SC candidate’s turn), the next eligible candidate from that particular community and turn in the ranked list is advised.
Q3: What are the next steps for a candidate once they are advised in an Appointment Chart?
A: The advised candidate typically receives an official advice memo or communication from KPSC. This will outline the further steps, which usually include document verification at the appointing department, medical examination, and finally, the issuance of an appointment order. Candidates should ensure their contact details with KPSC are up-to-date.
Q4: Where can I find the official KPSC ranked lists and future updates?
A: All official ranked lists, appointment charts, and further notifications are published on the official website of the Kerala Public Service Commission: www.keralapsc.gov.in. Candidates are advised to check the ‘Latest Notifications’ or ‘Results’ section regularly.
Q5: What is the significance of ‘MR-1 5 OC’ and ‘MR-1 6 M’?
A: These refer to the rotation numbers in the KPSC’s communal reservation roster. ‘MR’ stands for Main Rotation. ‘OC’ refers to Open Competition, and ‘M’ refers to Muslim (a specific community). These notations ensure that appointments are made strictly in accordance with the prescribed reservation rules for various communities and categories.
Q6: Does this Appointment Chart mean new applications are being invited for Assistant Time Keeper?
A: No, this Appointment Chart is an update on the selection process from an *already existing* ranked list. It does not invite new applications for the Assistant Time Keeper post. New recruitment notifications are issued separately by KPSC.
