THIRUVANANTHPURAM: PSC chairman MK Sakeer said in a press conference that the PSC can only function in accordance with the rules and cannot change the duration of the rank lists fixed as part of the procedure.

Rank lists expire in three years. Extending the list further would be unfair to other candidates. Thirty lakh people have applied to PSC and are waiting outside. Those who depend on PSC cannot be dismissed. Uniform and police rank lists are valid for one year only. It cannot be extended for up to three years. This is the law of the police. That is why the tenure of the police rank list has been reduced to one year.

The term of the general rank lists, including the posts of teachers and LD Clark, is one year. This rank list can be extended for three years only if there is no other rank list. After one year, PSC can publish the rank list from the next day. But over the years, the PSC has been giving the general category an additional benefit of three years.

Even during Covid, 28-30 lakh candidates appeared for PSC examinations. From March 2020 to July 2021, advice were given to 30, 000 people, the chairman said.
