The Assistant Jailor Admit Card 2026 for the main examination is expected to be available through the Kerala PSC Thulasi Portal around October 27, 2026. Candidates should download the admit card once it becomes available and check the examination centre, reporting time and other instructions carefully.
Candidates should also ensure that they have access to their Kerala PSC profile and do not wait until the last date to download their admission ticket.
The main examination is followed by the remaining stages of the selection process. Candidates who qualify for the written examination will have to undergo the prescribed Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Medical Verification.
Candidates should therefore prepare not only for the written examination but also keep themselves ready to meet the prescribed physical and medical requirements.
Candidates can use the time before the November 11, 2026 examination for systematic preparation and revision. Completing the important syllabus areas, practising previous year questions and attending mock tests can help candidates improve their examination readiness.
The Challenger App can also be used for syllabus-based classes, topic-wise practice, previous year questions, mock tests, quizzes and performance analysis. Regular practice can help candidates identify areas that require additional revision before the main examination.
Candidates should continue checking the official Kerala PSC updates and their Thulasi profile for the latest information regarding the examination, admission ticket and subsequent selection stages.
