Recent/Related Notifications & Updates

• A more recent notification is for Confidential Assistant Grade II in various government companies/boards/corporations under Category No. 598/2024. 

• Websites/exam portals sometimes mention that the “Company Board Assistant” recruitment might be forthcoming or anticipated. 

• The Kerala PSC “Stenographer / Confidential Assistant” notification for boards / companies is also listed on PSC’s official site, showing that PSC uses “company / board / corporation / societies / local authorities” for such posts. 

What You Should Do to Prepare/Be Ready

1. Keep monitoring the official Kerala PSC site—a notification will be released formally there.

2. Collect past years’ question papers (2017, 2018, etc.) and practice under timed conditions.

3. Build a strong foundation in each subject area listed above (Aptitude, Reasoning, English, GK, IT).

4. Stay up-to-date with current affairs, especially Kerala state news, welfare schemes, and social/economic changes.

5. Improve speed and accuracy (since 100 questions in ~75 minutes is the earlier benchmark).

6. Prepare in both English and Malayalam (or the regional language that may be relevant).

7. Focus on Kerala history, renaissance, state politics, and local administration since “state‑specific” questions are frequent in such exams.

8. Revise computer basics and cyber law—often a small but scoring section.

9. Mock tests & sectional tests will help you identify strong/weak areas.
