Kerala PSC 10th Level · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Kerala PSC 10th Level Examination is the umbrella name for the objective recruitment tests that the Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) conducts for posts whose minimum educational qualification is the SSLC (Class 10) certificate. Candidates who have passed the tenth standard - or hold an equivalent qualification recognised by the State - use this route to compete for clerical, village-level, driver, attendant, and similar posts advertised by the Commission from time to time. The Kerala PSC 10th Level study guide has 11 sections and about 2,528 words.
01General Knowledge and Current Affairs
General Knowledge and Current Affairs in the Kerala PSC 10th Level exam is not random trivia: it combines stable static facts - polity, geography, science, sports, awards and organisations - with events from roughly the 6–12 months before the notification. Kerala-specific current affairs, such as state schemes, appointments, infrastructure and festivals, carry disproportionate weight.
