Kerala CSEB System Administrator Recruitment 2026 - 2 Posts

Kerala State Co-operative Service Examination Board (CSEB) has released Notification No. 20/2026 for System Administrator posts. The recruitment is for direct appointment in two co-operative banks, and selection will be based on the online exam and interview process handled through CSEB and the concerned banks. This is a focused technical opening for candidates who want an IT role in the Kerala co-operative banking system.

The notice mentions one vacancy in Thrissur and one vacancy in Kasaragod. The qualification is clearly technical, and the notice also says 3 years of System Administrator or equivalent experience is desirable. If you already handle servers, networks, user systems, backups, or banking IT support, this post matches your profile well.

Both vacancies are General category posts, but age-relaxation rules still apply for candidates from the categories named in the notification. The work is bank-facing, so you should be comfortable supporting daily branch systems, keeping records of technical issues, and helping staff when online services, user accounts, or network access need attention. The notification does not mention a separate practical test, so the online exam and interview are the key stages to prepare for. Keep your education, experience, age, and category documents ready before starting the online form.
