Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) set a new milestone in 2025 by publishing 902 recruitment advertisements, the highest number in its history and significantly surpassing the previous record of 816 notifications issued in 2022. The total also exceeded the 812 PSC notifications released in 2024, marking a notable rise in government job opportunities and recruitment activity in Kerala.
