The recruitment, open for online applications from April 30 to June 4, 2025, aims to fill roles in Kerala’s government services, with selected candidates to be placed at the PSC’s head office in Pattom Palace, Thiruvananthapuram.
The vacancies include posts such as Peon (1 vacancy), Watchman (2 vacancies), and others like Assistant Professor, High School Teacher, Overseer Grade III, and Confidential Assistant, catering to candidates with qualifications ranging from 7th standard to postgraduate degrees like M.Ch, MS/MD, and B.Ed.

Eligibility criteria include educational qualifications tailored to each post—7th standard for Peon/Watchman, and higher degrees for specialized roles—along with a maximum age limit of 50 years. Candidates must be Kerala residents, and both male and female applicants are eligible. The selection process involves a Written/OMR/Online Test, followed by interviews and document verification for shortlisted candidates, as outlined by IndGovtJobs.
