The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) has released an Addendum Notification concerning the selection process for the post of Lecturer in Malayalam within the Kerala General Education (DIET) Department (Category No. 349/2022). This crucial update modifies the previously published Ranked List No. 742/2025/SS VII dated 16.09.2025, specifically to include Differently Abled candidates for 4% Reservation.
What Changed
The core change introduced by this addendum is the inclusion of Differently Abled candidates for 4% Reservation in the Ranked List for Lecturer in Malayalam. The notification explicitly states that the List of Differently Abled candidates is *additionally included* in the existing Ranked List No. 742/2025/SS VII. This modification ensures that the reservation quota for persons with disabilities is appropriately addressed in the selection process.
Reason for Change
The addendum notification clarifies that the inclusion is made to incorporate the List of Differently Abled candidates for 4% Reservation. While a detailed background or specific directive for this addendum beyond ensuring the reservation is not explicitly provided in the document, it is a standard procedure to update ranked lists to comply with reservation policies.
Action Required
No specific action is required from candidates already on the original ranked list or those who appeared for the examination. This notification is an official update to the existing Ranked List, directly affecting the candidates whose names are now included or whose overall ranking might be adjusted due to these inclusions. Candidates are advised to review the official notification for any personal implications.
Revised Details
The Ranked List No. 742/2025/SS VII, originally dated 16.09.2025, now stands modified to the extent mentioned in this addendum notification. The additional entries in the Ranked List for Differently Abled candidates are to be read as follows:
