Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What does ‘NJD’ mean in the KPSC Appointment Chart?

Q2: When can I expect to receive my appointment letter?
A: While KPSC advises candidates, the appointment letters are issued by the concerned department (Higher Secondary Education Department in this case). The timeline can vary, but it typically takes a few weeks to a couple of months after the release of the appointment chart. Keep checking your registered email and postal address, and the KPSC website.
Q3: What documents should I prepare for joining?
A: You should prepare all original educational certificates (SSLC, Plus Two, Degree/Diploma as applicable), caste/community certificates (if applied under reservation), age proof, identity proof (Aadhar/PAN), recent passport-size photographs, and any other documents specified in your individual appointment letter.
Q4: Is there a medical examination required?
A: Yes, most government appointments require candidates to undergo a medical fitness examination. Details regarding the medical board and required tests will be provided in your appointment letter.
Q5: What if there is an error in my details on the appointment chart?
A: If you notice any discrepancy in your name, address, or other details, you should immediately contact the KPSC District Office, Kannur, through the official channels (email: doknr.psc@kerala.gov.in, Telephone No: 0497-2700482) or visit their office for clarification.
Q6: Can I decline the offer of appointment?
A: Yes, you can decline the offer. However, it’s advisable to formally communicate your decision to the appointing authority as soon as possible to allow other eligible candidates to be considered.
Q7: What is the significance of ‘Rotation’ mentioned in the chart?
A: Rotation refers to the communal rotation system followed by KPSC to ensure equitable representation of various communities (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, etc.) in public service appointments. The chart indicates which turn of rotation a candidate is being advised against.
