Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by KPSC detailing the allocation of candidates from existing ranked lists to various government posts against reported vacancies (Fresh, NJD, TPO, etc.). It signifies the completion of the selection process for the listed candidates.
Q2: What does NJD (Non-Joining Duty) mean?
NJD stands for Non-Joining Duty. These are vacancies that arise when a candidate who was advised for appointment by the KPSC fails to join the post within the stipulated time. Such vacancies are then reported back to KPSC and filled from the next eligible candidate in the ranked list.
Q3: What are TPO (Thrown Out) turns?
TPO (Thrown Out) turns refer to vacancies reserved for specific communities or categories that are temporarily kept aside due to the non-availability of suitable candidates from that particular community/category in the current ranked list. These vacancies are then satisfied by advising candidates from the same community/category from the subsequent ranked lists or through inter-departmental transfers, subject to rules.
Q4: How do I know if my name is on the Appointment Chart?
Candidates can check their SI. No., Rank No., and Name in the detailed tables provided in the official Appointment Chart PDF. The chart also mentions the post, department, and category of the candidate advised.
Q5: What should I do if my name is in the Appointment Chart?
If your name is listed, it means you have been advised for appointment. You should closely monitor the official KPSC website and expect to receive further communication (e.g., appointment order, instructions for document verification, medical examination) directly from the KPSC or the concerned appointing authority. Ensure your contact details registered with KPSC are up-to-date.
Q6: When will I receive my appointment order?
The issuance of appointment orders typically follows the release of the Appointment Chart. The exact timeline can vary depending on the department and administrative procedures. It is advisable to regularly check the official KPSC website and the website of the department you have been advised for.
Q7: Can I apply for another KPSC exam if my name is in this chart?

Q8: What documents are typically required for joining after an appointment chart?
Typically, candidates are required to produce original certificates and their self-attested copies for verification. This includes educational qualifications (SSLC, Plus Two, Degree/Diploma certificates), caste/community certificates (if applicable), non-creamy layer certificate (for OBC), age proof, ID proof (Aadhar/PAN), character certificates, and recent passport-size photographs.
