If Kerala PSC releases a fresh notification for the University Computer Assistant post soon, candidates should aim for a score well above the expected cut-off to improve their chances of securing a place in the rank list. Based on the trend observed in the previous recruitment, a minimum score of around 55 marks may be sufficient for rank list consideration, while a score between 60 and 65 marks can be considered competitive and may help candidates secure a better rank. Those aspiring for top positions in the rank list should target 70 marks or above. As competition continues to increase among graduates and computer-related candidates, scoring more than 60 marks will significantly enhance the likelihood of obtaining a favourable rank and receiving an appointment through the Kerala PSC University Computer Assistant recruitment process.
