10th Pass (SSLC) Government Jobs in Kerala 2026

10th qualification govt jobs in Kerala - what is open right now

The table above is filtered to live notifications whose minimum qualification is SSLC, 10th, matriculation or below. It updates daily. If it looks short today, that is normal - SSLC-level Kerala PSC categories come in bursts, while non-PSC and central SSLC posts appear every week. Bookmark this page and the district page for your area, because most 10th pass temporary posts are district-specific and close within ten days.

Kerala PSC 10th level posts

Kerala PSC groups its SSLC-level categories under the 10th level preliminary examination. The regular categories are Last Grade Servant (LGS, district-wise, the largest SSLC recruitment in Kerala), Office Attendant in various departments, boards and universities, Police Constable (Driver) and Driver posts (with a licence), Cook, Watchman, Attender, Security Guard, Sweeper cum Sanitation Worker, Lift Operator, Peon and departmental Class IV posts. Candidates apply on Thulasi, sit a common preliminary exam (general knowledge, Malayalam, simple arithmetic, mental ability), then a main exam for the category, and are placed on a district or state rank list. LGS rank lists take a long time but yield thousands of appointments; a candidate who applies under a small district (Kasaragod, Wayanad, Idukki, Pathanamthitta) is usually advised earlier. PSC 10th qualification jobs also include Tradesman posts if you have an ITI in addition to SSLC - see the ITI page.

Govt jobs in Kerala without PSC for 10th pass

This is the most searched phrase on this page, and the answer is a long list. Anganwadi Worker and Helper posts (women, 18 to 46, SSLC) are filled by each ICDS project without any exam. NHM and health department field posts - ASHA facilitators, hospital attendants, cleaning staff, security, drivers - are contract posts filled at the district level. Collectorates, panchayats, municipalities and Kudumbashree hire office attendants, drivers, cooks, data collectors and field staff on contract through walk-in interviews. KSRTC, KSEB (through PSC for permanent posts but contract for others), Kerala Feeds, Kerala State Coir Corporation, Devaswom Boards and cooperative societies (peon, attender, collection agent) hire SSLC candidates directly or through the Employment Exchange. Employment Exchange registration matters here: many temporary Class IV posts are filled by sponsorship from the district Employment Exchange, so register and keep the card renewed.

Central government 10th pass jobs with Kerala postings

Railways are the biggest: RRB Group D Level 1 (track maintainer, helper, assistant pointsman) for SSLC or ITI holders through RRB Thiruvananthapuram, and Southern Railway act apprentices (SSLC plus ITI). India Post Kerala Circle's Gramin Dak Sevak drive takes SSLC with Malayalam, purely on marks. SSC MTS and Havaldar, Indian Navy civilian MTS, Tradesman Mate and Cook at Southern Naval Command Kochi, Coast Guard Navik Domestic Branch, Agniveer General Duty (45% in SSLC), CISF and CRPF tradesman posts, Cochin Shipyard and VSSC apprentices (with ITI) and Cochin Port support posts all accept 10th pass. None of these need Malayalam except the postal GDS post. Age limits are usually 18 to 25 or 33 with community relaxations.

10th pass govt jobs in Kerala for female candidates

Women SSLC candidates have the Anganwadi worker and helper route, Woman Civil Police Officer only at Plus Two level, Kudumbashree and ICDS support posts, NHM hospital attendant and ASHA-linked posts, cooperative society posts, Navy civilian and railway posts (open to women), and every Kerala PSC SSLC category, all of which are open to women with communal reservation applied. Widows, deserted women and single mothers receive weightage in Anganwadi selection. The district pages show which of these are open in your district today.

Applying: documents and mistakes to avoid

Keep the SSLC certificate (it is also your age proof), community certificate, non-creamy layer certificate if applicable, ID proof, driving licence for driver posts, Employment Exchange card, photo and signature scanned and ready. Read the qualification line exactly: some posts say "SSLC failed" or "Class 7", some say "SSLC or equivalent" (which includes NIOS and other boards), and some SSLC posts need physical standards or a licence. For Kerala PSC, confirm exam participation in the confirmation window - missing it is the most common reason SSLC candidates drop out. Apply only through the official link on each listing and never pay anyone for a Class IV post.
