Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the KPSC (or similar public service commissions) detailing the candidates advised for appointment against specific vacancies from a published ranked list. It shows the rotation chart (OC/BC/NJD/TPO turns) and the candidates allotted to each turn.
Q2: What does ‘NJD’ stand for in KPSC recruitment?
NJD stands for ‘Non-Joining Duty’. It refers to a vacancy that arises when a candidate advised for appointment from a ranked list fails to join duty. This vacancy is then re-notified and filled from the same ranked list by advising the next eligible candidate.
Q3: What does ‘TPO’ mean in the context of KPSC?
TPO stands for ‘Turns Passed Over’. It occurs when a specific reservation turn (e.g., for a particular community) cannot be filled immediately because no eligible candidate from that community is available in the advised rotation. Such turns are then ‘passed over’ and kept pending to be filled later when an eligible candidate becomes available, usually from a subsequent advice.
Q4: How can advised candidates check their appointment status?
Advised candidates should log in to their One Time Registration profile on the KPSC official website (www.keralapsc.gov.in). All communications regarding advice memo, document verification, and joining instructions are typically sent to their registered profile and contact details.
Q5: What are the next steps after being advised for appointment?
After being advised, candidates usually receive an Advice Memo. They will then be called for document verification by the concerned department or KPSC, followed by a medical examination. Upon successful completion of these stages, a final appointment order will be issued by the recruiting department.
Q6: Can I get more details about the job profile of Driver Grade II (LDV)?
The role of a Driver Grade II (LDV) / Driver-cum-Office Attendant (LDV) typically involves driving light motor vehicles for official duties, maintaining vehicle logs, ensuring vehicle upkeep, and performing general office attendant duties as assigned. The exact responsibilities may vary slightly depending on the specific department of posting.
