Degree (Graduate) Government Jobs in Kerala 2026

Degree qualification govt jobs in Kerala - the largest pool

Graduates have the widest choice in Kerala government recruitment and the stiffest competition. The table above filters live notifications whose qualification is a degree - "any degree", "graduation", "bachelor's degree" or a named degree such as BA, BSc, BCom, BCA, BBA, BSW, BEd or LLB - and it updates daily. Because graduates are also eligible for every Plus Two and SSLC level post, a degree holder who wants the earliest possible appointment should apply at all three levels; the Plus Two page (LDC, Civil Police Officer) and the 10th pass page (LGS) list the lower-level categories.

Kerala PSC jobs for degree holders

Kerala PSC's degree level preliminary examination is the gateway to the most sought-after state posts: Assistant in the Government Secretariat, Kerala PSC, Kerala Legislature Secretariat, Advocate General's Office and Local Fund Audit; University Assistant in the state universities; Company/Board/Corporation Assistant Grade II (KSFE, KSRTC, KSEB, Kerala Bank and dozens of boards); Sub Inspector of Police (Trainee) and Armed Police SI; Excise Inspector; Junior Employment Officer; Assistant Auditor and Auditor; Assistant Salesman and Store Keeper; Cooperative Auditor; Junior Superintendent in some boards; Statistical Assistant (with maths or statistics); and Field Officer and Extension Officer posts in Rural Development, Cooperation and Panchayat departments. Teaching posts - LP School Teacher (Plus Two plus TTC, but degree holders apply too), UP School Teacher (degree plus TTC/BEd plus KTET) and HSA (degree in the subject plus BEd plus KTET) - are separate categories. Selection is the common preliminary exam (general studies, current affairs, Malayalam, English, quantitative aptitude, mental ability - harder than the Plus Two level), then a descriptive or OMR main exam for the category, physical tests for SI and Excise, and a rank list. Secretariat Assistant and University Assistant lists are state-wide; Company/Board Assistant lists are also state-wide but with many posts; teacher lists are district-wise.

For bank and SSC exams, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English and general awareness. Keep the degree certificate and consolidated mark list, provisional certificate if the final result is awaited (check whether the notification accepts it), community and non-creamy layer certificates in both Kerala and central formats, ID, photo and signature ready.
