Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an Appointment Chart?
An Appointment Chart is an official document released by the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) that details the advice of candidates from an active ranked list against reported vacancies. It shows which candidate has been selected for which post, their rank, and the communal rotation applied.
What does ‘NJD’ (Non-Joining Duty) mean?
NJD stands for Non-Joining Duty. It refers to a vacancy that arises when a candidate who was advised for appointment from a ranked list fails to join the post. Such a vacancy is then reported to the KPSC, and an additional candidate (NJD compensation) is advised from the same ranked list to fill it, maintaining the original rotation.
What is ‘TPO’ (Turns Passed Over)?
TPO stands for Turns Passed Over. These are vacancies reserved for specific communities or categories (e.g., SC, ST, OBC, EWS, LC/AI, M) that could not be filled when their turn arose due to the non-availability of eligible candidates from that particular community/category in the ranked list at that time. These turns are kept pending and will be satisfied later when eligible candidates become available.
What is ‘NCA’ (No Candidate Available)?
NCA stands for No Candidate Available. Similar to TPO, it indicates that no suitable candidate was available from a particular community or category when their turn for advice came. NCA vacancies are also carried forward and advised later.
How does KPSC fill vacancies from a Ranked List?
KPSC fills vacancies based on a strict system of communal rotation and merit. Candidates are advised from the ranked list according to their rank and the roster point (reservation turn) that becomes due. NJD vacancies are filled by advising an additional candidate (NJD compensation) from the same ranked list, maintaining the original rotation.
What should candidates on the ranked list do after this notification?
Candidates on the active ranked list 408/2021 (Wayanad) should regularly check the KPSC official website for further advice memos and notifications. Understanding the rotation and pending turns (TPO, NCA) can help them estimate their chances for future advices. Keep your contact details updated with KPSC.
Is this a new job notification?
No, this is not a new job notification inviting applications. This is an Appointment Chart, which is a post-selection process detailing the advice of a candidate from an already existing active ranked list (408/2021) against a reported vacancy.
How long is a KPSC ranked list valid?
Typically, a KPSC ranked list is valid for a period of one year from the date of its finalization, or until a new ranked list is prepared, whichever is earlier. However, under certain circumstances, the validity can be extended for a maximum of three years.
