TPO (Turns Passed Over) refers to instances where a specific turn in the rotation chart cannot be filled due to the non-availability of eligible candidates from the required community/category at that particular point in the ranked list. These turns are then satisfied later when an eligible candidate becomes available.

If your name is on the Appointment Chart, it means you have been advised for appointment. You should await official communication from KPSC or the Health Services Department regarding your appointment letter, further document verification, medical examination, and joining instructions.

Q6: Can I get details about my specific rotation or turn?

The Appointment Chart explicitly mentions the rotation (e.g., MR 13-10 OBC, MR 13-21 OC) against which each candidate has been advised. This detail indicates the specific turn in the KPSC’s rotation system that has been satisfied by your appointment.
