Kerala PSC issues an extraordinary gazette notification covering category numbers 162 to 173 of this year

30 October 2026

The Kerala Public Service Commission has published an extraordinary gazette notification dated 30 October 2026. It carries category numbers 162 of 2026 to 173 of 2026, and the last date to apply is 2 December 2026. The Commission puts out its recruitment notifications in the Kerala Gazette, usually in an extraordinary issue at the end of a month, and candidates apply through its one-time registration profile. A category number is the Commission's own serial for a particular post in a particular department, and it stays with that recruitment through the ranked list. The Commission is a constitutional body: Article 315 of the Constitution provides for a Public Service Commission for each State. Its members are appointed by the Governor, and under Article 316 a member holds office for six years or until the age of sixty-two, whichever comes first. The Commission reports to the Governor every year under Article 323, and the report is placed before the Legislature.
