Understanding KPSC Appointment Charts
KPSC Appointment Charts are crucial documents that provide transparency in the recruitment process, particularly after an examination result. They detail how vacancies are allocated from published ranked lists. Here’s a brief explanation of key terms:
- NJD (Non-Joining Duty): Refers to a vacancy that arises when a candidate advised for appointment does not join duty. Such vacancies are compensated by advising another candidate from the same ranked list.
- TPO (Turn Passed Over): Indicates that a particular turn in the rotation chart has been temporarily passed over, usually due to the non-availability of suitable candidates from a specific reservation category. These turns are filled later when eligible candidates become available.
- Ranked List: A list of candidates arranged in order of merit, prepared by KPSC for appointment to various posts.
- Advice: The process by which KPSC recommends candidates from the ranked list to government departments for appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the KPSC detailing the allocation of reported vacancies from active ranked lists to eligible candidates. It shows how many vacancies are filled, from which ranked lists, and the status of various turns (NJD, TPO, etc.).
How can I check if my name has been advised?
Candidates whose names are advised for appointment will typically receive an advice memo through their KPSC Thulasi profile. It is crucial to regularly check your profile for such updates.
What does ‘Fresh’ vacancy mean?
‘Fresh’ vacancies are newly reported vacancies that have not been filled before. These are different from NJD (Non-Joining Duty) vacancies, which arise from candidates not joining after being advised.
What should I do if my turn is shown as ‘TPO’?
If your turn falls under a TPO, it means your turn has been temporarily passed over. These turns are usually filled later when eligible candidates from the specific category become available. You generally don’t need to take any immediate action but should continue to monitor KPSC updates.
Are these new job openings?
No, this Appointment Chart is not a notification for new job openings. It is an update on the process of filling existing vacancies from already published ranked lists for which recruitment has already taken place.
Where can I find the full details of the active ranked lists?
Details about the active ranked lists, including the full list of candidates, can be found on the official KPSC website (www.keralapsc.gov.in) under the ‘Results’ or ‘Ranked Lists’ section.
What documents are required after advice?
Typically, advised candidates will need to undergo document verification. This involves presenting original certificates for educational qualifications, age proof, community/caste certificates, and other relevant documents as specified by KPSC in their advice memo or subsequent communications.
