Kerala PSC cancels its Civil Excise Officer Driver notification after no application came in

10 November 2026

The Kerala Public Service Commission has cancelled the notification it issued for the post of Civil Excise Officer Driver Part II in the Excise Department in Malappuram district. The post was to be filled by transfer of category, which is one of the routes the Commission uses for departmental posts. The notification had been published in the gazette of October 15, 2025 with category number 387/2025. The Commission cancelled it because no application at all was received against that notification. The District Officer of the Kerala Public Service Commission has said that every further step connected with the notification stands cancelled as well. Candidates who were waiting for this selection will therefore have to look for a fresh notification if the post is advertised again. A cancellation of this kind is formally notified so that the vacancy and the category number are not carried forward by mistake.
