Thiruvananthapuram, the Keralam government has decided to extend the validity of rank lists for teaching jobs by six months. Chief Minister V D Satheesan announced this at a press conference following a state Cabinet meeting. The rank lists, which were due to expire in September, October and November 2026, cover various teaching positions like Primary Teachers and Higher Secondary School Teachers.
This extension was necessary as many candidates were losing out on appointment opportunities due to reasons like census duties, inter-district transfers and delays in procedures, Satheesan explained. The decision aims to give eligible candidates more chances to secure these positions. In a separate decision, the Cabinet approved the establishment of three special courts in Palakkad, Manjeri and Thrissur for cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
This move comes amid a surge in pending NDPS cases and the government's intensified efforts against drug abuse. Satheesan said the government would bear an additional financial burden but emphasized the need for speedy trials as part of the fight against narcotic drugs.
