Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) Medical Officer (Visha) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

The Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) has released Notification No. 063/2026, a Second NCA notification, for one Medical Officer (Visha) post under the Indian Systems of Medicine department. This special recruitment is open only to candidates of the Hindu Nadar community in Kerala — applications from other communities will be rejected without a separate notice.

An NCA (Non-Joining Candidate) notification is issued when qualified candidates of a reserved community are not available in the main list. This Second NCA notification was issued because qualified Hindu Nadar candidates were not found after the First NCA notification (Category No. 308/2025, gazetted on 30 August 2025). The ranked list will stay in force until candidates are advised and appointed against the community vacancies earmarked in the main ranked list (Category No. 030/2023, dated 2 November 2024). The post of Medical Officer (Visha) deals with Ayurveda toxicology (Agadathantra), so it needs a specialist with an M.D in this branch. This is a rare, well-paid opening for Hindu Nadar Ayurveda specialists.
