Kerala PSC Notifications Round-up – Category 130 to 150/2026

Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) has released 13 separate notifications, Category No. 130/2026 to 150/2026, inviting online applications for various posts across Kerala Government Departments and Public Sector concerns. This article brings together all these notifications in one place, covering the post, department, pay, vacancy and eligibility for each, along with the common application process.

Important – Read Eligibility Carefully Before Applying

Many of these notifications are restricted to specific communities, in-service employees, or particular groups, and are not open to all candidates. Several categories are Non-Communal Application (NCA) notifications reserved exclusively for candidates belonging to a named community (such as Muslim, Ezhava/Billava/Thiyya, LC/AI, SIUC Nadar, Viswakarma, or Scheduled Caste Converts to Christianity), while a few are open only to in-service employees of a specific organization, by transfer. Applications from candidates outside the specified community or category will be summarily rejected without an individual rejection memo.

About These Notifications

Kerala Public Service Commission regularly issues a mix of general recruitment notifications, alongside Special Recruitment notifications for SC/ST candidates and Non-Communal Application (NCA) notifications for specific communities, in line with Kerala’s structured system of communal and special reservation in public employment. This batch of notifications, spanning Category 130/2026 to 150/2026, covers a wide range of departments and Public Sector concerns, from the Police Band Unit and Fire and Rescue Services to the Forest Department and various government corporations, reflecting the routine, ongoing nature of KPSC’s recruitment work across the state.

Understanding NCA (Non-Communal Application) Notifications

An NCA notification is issued when a vacancy exists specifically for a community whose reservation quota has gone unfilled in an earlier, general selection process. Rather than leaving such vacancies permanently vacant, KPSC issues a fresh notification limited exclusively to that community, so eligible candidates from that specific group get a renewed opportunity to compete for the post. This is why several categories in this round-up, such as 137/2026 for Ezhava/Billava/Thiyya, 144/2026 for Muslim, and 146-150/2026 for various communities on a district-wise basis, are all NCA notifications rather than general open recruitment.

Why the District-wise Beat Forest Officer Notification Is Different

Categories 146/2026 through 150/2026 cover the same post, Beat Forest Officer, but each category number represents a different community-district combination within the Forest and Wildlife Department. This means a candidate must check not just their community but also the specific district linked to their category number, since a Muslim candidate eligible under 147/2026 for Idukki district cannot apply under a different district’s vacancy, and vice versa.
