Kerala PSC Draftsman Gr II SC/ST Recruitment 2026 (Cat 156)

Kerala PSC Draftsman Grade II Recruitment 2026: Overview

Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) is recruiting for the combined designation Draftsman Grade II / Town Planning Surveyor Grade II in the Local Self Government Department, Group IV Planning Wing. This is regular direct recruitment through a special drive for Kerala’s Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. The notice identifies the planning wing as the recruiting unit, so you should use this department name when checking the correct entry in your profile.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Restricted drive: This special recruitment is for SC/ST applicants from Kerala. Applications from other communities will be rejected without an individual rejection message.
• Ranked-list validity: The list normally runs for at least one year and no more than three years. A fresh list under the same appointment method can replace it after the minimum period.
• Further appointments: The list can also serve later vacancies reported for SC/ST special recruitment while it remains valid. Inclusion in the list should therefore be understood alongside the notice’s rules on advice for appointment.
• ST-only vacancies: The same list may be used when no separate ST list is available or a separate selection is under way. If this list has no ST candidate, the commission will issue a separate ST notification.
• Probation: After joining, you must complete two years of duty within a continuous three-year period.
• Profile accuracy: Keep a single registration profile and check your entries before applying. Multiple profiles can cost you your candidature, and a submitted application cannot be changed or deleted.
• Provisional acceptance: Acceptance of your form does not settle your claims. The commission can reject it later if it does not meet the notice conditions.
• False claims: Incorrect claims can lead to disqualification, debarment or other action under the commission’s procedure rules. Check the special-recruitment conditions alongside the applicable general conditions before applying.
