1. Keep Your Documents Ready
Before registering, keep a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, PAN or driving licence), your educational certificates, caste or community details, a mobile number and an email address ready.
2. Prepare Your Photograph
Your photo must be 150 × 200 pixels and under 30 KB, with a front-facing pose, light background and your name and date printed at the bottom. A photo remains valid for 10 years from upload.
3. Prepare Your Signature
Sign in blue or black ink on white paper, then scan it to 150 × 200 pixels and under 30 KB. Make sure the signature is clear and not cut off.
4. Complete One Time Registration
Open PSC Thulasi and click the new registration link. Fill in personal details, communication details, upload your photo and signature, then preview and submit. Note your user ID carefully.
5. Log In to Your Profile
Enter your user ID, password and the access code shown on screen. Both user ID and password are case-sensitive, so type them exactly.
6. Complete Your Profile Details
After the first login, add your educational qualifications, experience and other details. A complete profile avoids problems when you apply for posts.
7. Apply for Notified Posts
Go to the notifications section, find a post you are eligible for and click Apply Now. Read the notification carefully for age limits, qualifications and last dates.
8. Submit Confirmation When Required
For many exams, Kerala PSC asks candidates to submit a confirmation within a set period. If you do not confirm on time, you may not receive an admit card, so watch your profile and messages closely.
9. Download Admit Cards and Check Results
Admit cards appear in your PSC Thulasi profile before each exam. After the exam, you can check answer keys, results and ranked lists through the same portal.
What You Can See in Your PSC Thulasi Profile
Once registered, your profile becomes the centre of your Kerala PSC journey. It lists every post you have applied for, shows the status of each application and displays notifications about confirmations, exam dates and document verification. You can also view your exam history and download admission tickets for upcoming tests.
- Applied posts and their status.
- Confirmation reminders and deadlines.
- Admission tickets for upcoming exams.
- Results, ranked lists and short lists.
Kerala PSC Exam Stages After Applying
After you apply through PSC Thulasi, most recruitments follow a similar path: confirmation, admit card release, written exam or OMR test, answer key, short list and ranked list, followed by document verification and interview for some posts. Each stage is announced on the official site and in your profile, so check both regularly.
How to Recover a Forgotten Password
If you forget your password, use the forgot password option on the login page. You will usually need your registered mobile number or email to reset it. Keep these contact details updated in your profile to avoid being locked out.
- Use the registered mobile number or email.
- Create a strong password you can remember.
- Never share your login details.
Tips for Using PSC Thulasi Safely
Log out after every session, especially on shared or café computers. Check the notification and your profile regularly, because important updates such as confirmation deadlines and exam dates are posted there. Keep printouts of submitted applications for reference.
