Kerala PSC grade 2 veterinary surgeon advice memo

Question

► scenario : NCA ST called and exam conducted result published and advice given for 7 candidates (only 7 had appeared all 7 got advice) General PSC(exam conducted on Jan 2025) advice came for 122 candidates. First 7 seats of SC converted to ST according to 15(c) of KS&SSR since in last PSC, ST seats were converted to SC. Only 7 ST candidates are there in the rank list( 1 in main and 6 in supply)This 7 candidates are the same candidate who got advice via NCA ST. Because of this only 3 SC candidates got advice out of total 122 advices. Is this a correct procedure. Can a candidate get 2 advices or same post. They can join only by accepting one. What happen to other seat. Will SC candidates simply loose their seats.

Answer 1

Dear Sir,

Correct sequence should be:

Advise ST candidates under NCA–ST

While issuing General advice:

Exclude already-advised ST candidates for vacancy counting

On exhaustion of ST candidates:

Reconvert converted vacancies back to SC

Issue advice to next eligible SC candidates

Answer 2

Dear Sir, as per your query,

Double advice for the same post is legally impermissible in effect
A candidate cannot derive benefit of two advices for the same post; once one advice is accepted, the other advice becomes invalid and the vacancy must be treated as unfilled.

Rule 15(c) KS&SSR cannot be applied in a manner that creates notional filling
Conversion of SC vacancies to ST is permissible, but advising the same candidates already advised under NCA does not amount to lawful utilisation of converted vacancies.

Unutilised vacancies must be re-reported; SC candidates cannot be deprived
Vacancies arising due to cancellation or non-joining must be re-advised from the appropriate category; SC candidates cannot lose seats merely due to roster adjustment overlap.
