KPSC Secretariat Assistant Recruitment 2026: Apply Online

Short Information: The Kerala Public Service Commission has opened applications for one Assistant post in the General Administration Department (Secretariat), reserved exclusively for Scheduled Tribe candidates under a special statewide recruitment drive. This is a Secretariat-level clerical role that places you at the administrative core of the state government, with a pay scale of ₹39,300 – ₹83,000. Unlike district-level clerk posts, Secretariat Assistants work directly under various government departments in Thiruvananthapuram, handling file processing, correspondence, and policy implementation support, which offers strong long-term promotional avenues within the Secretariat cadre. Candidates need any Degree from a recognized University, so this suits fresh graduates as well as those already in government-adjacent roles looking for a stable Secretariat posting. Applications must be submitted online through One Time Registration on the official KPSC portal before 05 August 2026. The Ranked List from this notification stays valid for one to three years, and vacancies arising during this period for ST candidates will also be filled from this same list, giving successful candidates a reasonably long window of consideration beyond the single advertised vacancy.
