Notification date and audience
Checked 13 October 2026: this existing notice belongs to the 30 September gazette. It is for Higher Secondary School Teacher Junior Arabic, which the PDF defines as a part-time teaching post. Category 157/2026 lists four Scheduled Caste vacancies and 158/2026 lists one Scheduled Tribe vacancy.
Qualifications need careful matching
The notice requires a master’s degree in the subject with at least 45% marks, the specified BEd pathway and Kerala State Eligibility Test, subject to detailed alternatives and exemptions. It gives age 20–49 and limits recruitment to the notified Kerala SC/ST communities. Read the complete exemption provisions before assuming NET, a research degree or teaching service automatically establishes your eligibility.
Deadline and official application
Apply through Kerala PSC One Time Registration. Separate category applications are required where relevant. The PDF specifies no application fee and a 4 November midnight closing time. No separate opening hour or later category-specific correction was established in this check. The source links let applicants inspect the exact rules rather than rely on the headline.
Keep evidence for each qualification
Our recommendation is to create a simple personal checklist of subject, marks, teacher-training qualification and eligibility-test evidence. Compare the names printed on each certificate with the wording in the original notice. An equivalent qualification needs supporting recognition, not just a similar course title. Decide which category you are applying under before preparing the form.
Do not confuse part-time with temporary assumptions
A post described as Junior or part-time should be understood using the recruiting authority’s definition, not an assumption about working hours or contract length. This article does not invent a timetable, school placement or guaranteed selection. Preserve the complete notice and application acknowledgement, and monitor official profile instructions for later stages. A category-specific vacancy summary is a starting point for checking eligibility, not a personal eligibility ruling.
