Kerala PSC Notifications August 2026 — Cat. No. 130/2026 to 150/2026, Apply by 7 October
Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) · Post Date:
Applications open — last date 07/10/2026
Short Information
The Kerala Public Service Commission's Extraordinary Gazette of 31 August 2026 carries twenty-one category numbers, from 130/2026 to 150/2026, and every one of them shares a single closing date: 7 October 2026. The range runs from Artist in Information and Public Relations to Beat Forest Officer, and a striking share of it is NCA recruitment — vacancies reserved for communities that went unfilled in earlier rounds, which means the eligibility on those posts is narrower than the job title suggests.

Eligibility
- All twenty-one category numbers in this gazette share one closing date: 7 October 2026.
- A large part of this batch is NCA recruitment — notifications issued to fill vacancies reserved for specific communities that remained unfilled in earlier selections. If a post is marked 'I NCA' against a community, only candidates of that community may apply for it.
- Fire & Rescue Officer (Trainee) is spread across four separate category numbers, 139 to 142, one for each NCA community — SCCC, LC/AI, V and SIUC Nadar. Apply against the category number matching your community.
- Beat Forest Officer is likewise spread across five category numbers, 146 to 150, for LC/AI, Muslim, SC, SIUC Nadar and SCCC.
- Conservation Officer in the State Archives Department (Cat. No. 136/2026) is a Special Recruitment for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates only.
- Plumber (B/T) in the Kerala Water Authority (Cat. No. 132/2026) is restricted to in-service personnel already working in the lower categories in KWA. Outside candidates are not eligible.
- Separately, the last date for Forest Watcher (Wayanad district) under Cat. No. 097/2026 — a special recruitment for male Scheduled Tribe candidates who depend solely on the forest, notified in the Extraordinary Gazette of 30 July 2026 — has been extended from 2 September to 30 September 2026, with all other conditions of that notification unchanged.
- Post-wise qualification, age limit, pay and method of appointment are set out in each individual notification in the gazette. Read the one for your category number before applying.
How to Apply
- Register through One Time Registration on the Kerala PSC website if you have not already. Applications are only accepted from registered profiles.
- Log in to your profile and apply against the specific category number you are eligible for, not merely the post name — several posts here run under multiple category numbers, one per community.
- Read the notification text for your category number. The NCA and Special Recruitment markers decide who may apply at all.
- Submit before 7 October 2026. The commission applies one common closing date to the whole gazette.
- If you are applying for Forest Watcher (Wayanad) under Cat. No. 097/2026, note that its deadline is earlier — 30 September 2026.
