The Kerala PSC Supplementary List is one of the least understood parts of the Kerala PSC selection system. Along with the main ranked list, Kerala PSC publishes supplementary lists of candidates from reserved communities. These lists make sure that reservation turns can be filled even when the main list does not have enough candidates from a particular community. Many candidates get advice through the Kerala PSC Supplementary List without realising they were eligible.
Main List vs Supplementary List
| List | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Main ranked list | Candidates in order of merit for open competition and reservation turns |
| Supplementary list | Additional candidates from each reserved community, used when the main list runs out of candidates for that community’s turn |
Both lists are published together on keralapsc.gov.in under the ranked list for the post.
How Advice Works
Kerala PSC follows a rotation of turns (open competition and reservation turns) as per the Kerala State and Subordinate Services Rules. When a vacancy falls in a community’s turn:
- PSC first looks for a candidate from that community in the main list.
- If none is available, the next candidate from that community in the supplementary list is advised.
Who Appears in the Supplementary List?
- Candidates from reserved communities (such as Ezhava/Thiyya/Billava, Muslim, Latin Catholic/Anglo Indian, OBC, SC, ST, Viswakarma, SIUC Nadar, Dheevara and others as notified)
- Who scored above the cut-off set for the supplementary list of that community
- But who are below the main list cut-off
