Only candidates who:

• Applied under Cat. No. 025/2025 for the CDPO (Women Only) post, and
• Completed One Time Confirmation on the Kerala PSC Thulasi portal between 22 September 2026 and 11 October 2026

…will have an admit card generated on their profile. There’s no separate late-confirmation route, so this step is non-negotiable for appearing on 09 December 2026.

What to Carry to the CDPO Exam Centre

Kerala PSC CDPO Exam Day Checklist

Since this CDPO cycle is being conducted online rather than OMR:

• Arrive at least 30–45 minutes before the reporting time — biometric or ID verification at computer-based centres can take longer than a standard OMR check-in.
• You’ll be assigned a specific terminal/seat — don’t attempt to switch seats once allotted.
• Mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, and any electronic devices are not allowed inside the centre, including in silent mode.
• Basic computer familiarity (using a mouse, navigating on-screen options) helps, though the interface is generally simple radio-button style MCQ.

If the CDPO Admit Card Isn’t Available

• Not generated at all: Most likely means confirmation wasn’t completed within the 22 September–11 October window — check your profile’s application status first.
• Photo/signature unclear: Raise it through the PSC grievance portal well ahead of the exam date, not on the day itself.
• Wrong exam centre: Centre reallocation requests post-release are rarely accepted; if there’s a genuine error, report it through the Thulasi grievance section as early as possible.

What to Do After Downloading the Admit Card?

Downloading the admit card marks the final stage of preparation before the examination. Candidates should use the remaining time for syllabus revision, previous-question practice and mock tests. It is also important to familiarise yourself with the examination centre and plan your travel beforehand.

For the 9 December 2026 CDPO examination, candidates should keep their preparation focused and avoid making major changes to their study plan during the final days.

Candidates should continue checking their Kerala PSC OTR profile and official PSC updates for the latest admission-ticket information and any additional examination instructions.
