Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What does an ‘Appointment Chart’ signify?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the KPSC that lists the candidates who have been provisionally selected and allotted posts from a ranked list for specific vacancies. It’s the final step before individual appointment orders are issued.
Q2: What is an ‘Unfilled DA Vacancy treated as Fresh’?
DA stands for Differentiated Abled (previously Physically Handicapped). If a vacancy reserved for a specific category of Differentiated Abled candidates cannot be filled from the current ranked list due to the non-availability of eligible candidates, that vacancy may be re-notified or, as in this case, treated as a ‘Fresh’ vacancy to be filled by other eligible candidates from the same ranked list or a subsequent one, depending on the rules.
Q3: What are ‘Pending Turns’ like NJD, NCA, TPO?
- NJD (No Candidate Joined): Refers to vacancies that arose because a candidate who was advised for appointment did not join duty.
- NCA (No Candidate Available): Refers to vacancies reserved for a specific community/category for which no suitable candidate was available in the ranked list.
- TPO (Thrown Out): Refers to vacancies reserved for a specific community/category which could not be filled from that category and are carried forward.
In this chart, all these turns are ‘Nil’, indicating no such pending issues.

Typically, candidates need to present original certificates along with attested photocopies for: educational qualifications (SSLC, Plus Two, Degree/Diploma), community certificate (if applicable), age proof, identity proof (Aadhaar/PAN), experience certificates (if any), and other relevant documents as specified in the original notification or subsequent communication.
Q5: How long is a KPSC Ranked List valid?
