What Happens After the Forest Driver Shortlist?

Inclusion in the short list only means a candidate is provisionally found eligible, based on OMR marks, to proceed to the next stage — for Forest Driver, this typically involves a Driving Test / Practical Test conducted by the Forest & Wildlife Department, followed by verification of original documents (educational qualifications, driving licence, age, community certificate, etc.). Final inclusion in the Ranked List depends on clearing these stages. Candidates should keep their OTR profile updated and watch the official Kerala PSC website and their registered contact details for further call letters.
