Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) Assistant Professor (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

Kerala PSC has issued Category No. 99/2026, a Second NCA (Non-Communal Allotment) Notification, to fill one Assistant Professor vacancy in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery under Kerala Medical Education Services. This vacancy is reserved for the SCCC community, and this is a repeat notification — the first NCA notification (Category No. 41/2025, gazetted 30 April 2025) did not find enough eligible candidates from this community, so Kerala PSC is inviting applications again. The Ranked List already published for this post on 31 December 2024 (Category No. 294/2023) will continue to be used to fill this and any future SCCC vacancies that arise in this post.

• Community: Only candidates belonging to the SCCC (Scheduled Caste converted to Christianity) community are eligible. Applications from other communities will be rejected.
• Note: Provisional registration with any Medical/Dental Council will not be accepted — you need permanent registration.

Age Limit

• You should be between 24 and 48 years old — born between 2 January 1978 and 1 January 2002 (both dates included).
• Age Relaxation: If you were an adult member of the Scheduled Caste community before converting to Christianity (or are their child), you get relaxation up to 50 years — you should be born between 2 January 1976 and 1 January 2002.
