Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) detailing the advice for appointment of candidates from a ranked list to specific posts. It outlines which candidates have been advised, against which turns (OC/BC/NJD/NCA/TPO), and the current status of vacancies and pending turns.
Q2. What does ‘NJD Compensation’ mean?
NJD Compensation refers to the process where a candidate is advised for appointment to a vacancy that arose because a previously advised candidate did not join duty (Non-Joining Duty). The current advice for Shifana S S and Ajinu R S falls under this category, filling previously reported NJD vacancies.
Q3. How can I check if my name is in the Appointment Chart?
Candidates can check the official KPSC website for the published Appointment Charts. While this document specifically lists the names advised, future charts might only list roll numbers or ranks. Individual advice memos are also sent to the advised candidates.
Q4. What documents are required for joining after being advised by KPSC?
Typically, candidates need to produce original certificates proving educational qualification, age, community/caste (if applicable), experience (if any), identity proof, address proof, and a medical fitness certificate. A detailed list will be provided in the individual advice memo or by the appointing department.
Q5. What if a candidate advised in the chart does not join?
If a candidate advised for appointment does not join duty within the stipulated time, the vacancy becomes an ‘NJD’ (Non-Joining Duty) vacancy again. This vacancy will then be reported back to KPSC and will be filled by advising the next eligible candidate from the ranked list in a subsequent appointment chart.
Q6. How long is a KPSC Ranked List valid?
A KPSC ranked list is generally valid for one year from the date of finalization or till the date on which all candidates advised from the list have joined duty, whichever is earlier. The validity can be extended up to a maximum of four years under certain circumstances, or until a new ranked list is published.
Q7. What are the next steps for candidates on the ranked list who are yet to be advised?
Candidates on the ranked list should regularly monitor the KPSC official website for new appointment charts. Vacancies are filled based on rank, reservation turns, and the reporting of vacancies by various departments. Patience and continuous checking of official updates are key.
