The volume of applicants is estimated to be in the several lakhs, following the usual trend of Kerala PSC exams. District-level shortlist data gives insight into the competition—Thrissur had 1,864 candidates, Kozhikode had 1,667, and Malappuram shortlisted 1,900 candidates.

Each district has a separate rank list comprising a main list, supplementary list, and differently abled category. For instance, it shows 344 candidates in the main list, 364 in the supplementary, and 20 from the differently abled category. Cut-off marks varied across districts, ranging from 57 in Kannur to 69.33 in Kozhikode. After the written exam, candidates underwent document verification, and district-wise ranked lists will publish soon on the official Kerala PSC website. 

The rank list for the current Kerala PSC LDC exam is expected to be published soon, and once released, it will remain valid for three years—until 2028. Based on this timeline, the next LDC notification is likely to be issued by mid-2026. This provides a valuable window of opportunity for aspiring candidates to begin their preparation early. With focused and consistent study, candidates can increase their chances of securing a stable and respected government position through the upcoming LDC recruitment.
