Why KAS?
KAS will introduce a special cadre for direct recruitment in some of the important Gazette II departments including Secretariat. 8 years of service in such cadres will be eligible for the post of IAS. Presently, the highest cadre in which Kerala PSC recruits is Deputy Collector and that was the means for conferring IAS indirectly. But the number of aspirants who promotes to IAS from Deputy Collector in Kerala is very less. This vacancy cannot be filled by all India quota also. Due to these reasons, almost 70 cadres are vacant in Kerala. This situation forces the civil servants in the service to handle more than one department and creates some inefficiency in the department. The introduction of KAS will be a solution to this problem. However, there were some issues by Secretariat employees for introducing KAS in departments in Secretariat and these are getting resolved nowadays.
Another advantage of KAS is, it will bring gazetted employees in Kerala Secretariat and the gazetted officers outside Secretariat under a common platform and will introduce a civil service which gives experiences inside and outside secretariat and will channel a stream of youngsters who are capable of changing the preface of Kerala government. This will mark an end to the heap of not processed files inside secretariat and common man will get his rights in a fast and efficient manner. KAS will build a cadre of public servants as a second line of managerial talent for Government for effective implementation of Government policies and programs
KAS can also be a dream comes true for most of the talented youths of Kerala. It can generate employment for a commendable number of dynamic youngsters who can bring changes to drive present administration to the top gear. It can bring talented and committed officers in Government Service and prepare them for senior level administrative and managerial positions in public service. Hardly 10 to 15 IAS aspirants of the state were getting qualified in the all India Civil Services examination. In this scenario, KAS can bring more aspirants to administrative services and offer them the dream job they cherish. There are likely to be 300 vacancies for KAS post in a year which is a commendable figure.
Why KAS is better than Deputy Collector post?
It is mainly because of the authority and power of the post. KAS will be more powerful post than deputy collector and is going to be the highest cadre one can be recruited in Kerala through Kerala PSC. Moreover, for KAS, the posting can be (possibility only) permanently in secretariat (Thiruvananthapuram) but for deputy collector, posting can be anywhere in Kerala. Also, KAS will be having a better chance and less time for conferring IAS compared to deputy collector. Moreover, a number of officers who were being promoted to IAS from Deputy Collector post is very less in Kerala. In this regard, KAS will become a fast feeder category to IAS through appointment by promotion from SCS (State Civil Service) officers and appointment by selection from Non-SCS officers superseding the existing rules in this regard.

ReplyDeleteage of 46 after completing 26 yrs of service. I have IGNOU Associate degree and PGDPM from IIMM, Pune. Can you kindly clarify whether am I eligible for KAS from the point of view of age and qualification criteria?
Hi,
DeleteAs per the draft report published, there is a provision for entry in to KAS (Junior Time Scale) by transfer, with a maximum age limit of 50 years for permanent Government employees. But the entry is limited to only 1st Gazetted officers in some listed departments of the Kerala State Government. Nothing has been mentioned about eligibility of employees from central services and PSUs (There are some news reports that these categories will not be considered). Anyhow, let us wait for the final report. Things will be clear once the final report is out. Stay updated with this blog for latest notifications.

Is it worth joining kas for a gazatted employee....as salary and seniority will be reduced?
ReplyDeleteIt is not a good idea for an employee in state or central services to resign their current job and join as a Junior Time Scale Officer. But it will be good option for employees who are within in the age limit to apply for the post by transfer or by promotion, as they may get their pay scale retained or have a higher scale than that of the current job they are pursuing.
DeleteHowever, sometimes the advantages of doing the job/service in home state may persuade some gazetted employees even in Central services to join KAS despite of its financial limitations. The choice is very subjective in nature.
Thanks & regards

The loss of seniority can be someway compensated by the reduction in probation period and associated training/tests they undergo when they are inducted as a Junior Time Scale KAS Officer.

When will an officer appointed through KAS in the junior scale be conferred IAS ? AFTER HOW MANY YEARS ... WILL HE/SHE BE GIVEN IAS?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteOnce they have completed the required period of service as a KAS Junior Time Scale Officer prescribed by Govt. from time to time, they will be eligible for selection to IAS. The exact time frame is not disclosed in the draft report.
However, as per the latest draft rules, KAS officers only have 2nd priority to be nominated to Indian Administrative Services (IAS). The first consideration will be to the officers who have joined Government services prior to the date of effect of KAS rules and to whom the Kerala Civil Service (Executive) Special rules are applicable.
