    Hi,

    As per the latest information, Government of Kerala would reserve the right to include or drop any additional departments in the schedule from time to time according to the requirements and cadre strength. The 30 departments for KAS as mentioned in the KAS Tutor blog are not a conclusive list and it was based on the KAS draft report only. There could be updates once the final KAS rules are published.

According to the news reports, further recommendations regarding age, selection, promotions and departments will not be amended. However, Government reserves the right to include or delete departments from this list according to the cadre strength. So it may get included in future.

      Hi,

      If you belongs to general category, you are eligible to apply for the exam, provided Kerala PSC will publish the KAS notification on or before the end of year 2018. Age as of 1st of January of the notification year is the deciding age criteria. Age relaxation will be there for other categories.
