Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) Workshop Instructor Recruitment 2026

Kerala Public Service Commission has released notification Category No. 048/2026 to fill anticipated vacancies for one common post that carries four designations — Workshop Instructor, Demonstrator, Instructor Grade II and Draftsman Grade II in Electrical Engineering. All four designations share the same pay scale and the same diploma qualification, and a single ranked list will be prepared for them. This is a direct recruitment into Kerala Government Service, so once you are appointed you get a stable, pensionable state government job in a technical education institution. 4% of the total vacancies are reserved for eligible differently abled candidates. Because the vacancy count is anticipated, more openings that come up during the life of the list can also be filled from the same ranked list.

The ranked list prepared from this notification stays valid for a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years. Candidates are advised for appointment from this list as and when vacancies are reported to the Commission, so even if you are not appointed immediately, your rank keeps you in line for future openings.

The 4% reservation for differently abled candidates is provided under Section 34 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. The photograph you upload during registration stays valid for 10 years, so use a clear, recent photo with your name and the date printed on it. Since applications are accepted online only, make sure your One Time Registration profile is complete and correct well before the last date — any correction made after the deadline will not reflect in your submitted application.
