A Kerala PSC syllabus usually has these elements:
- Main Topics: the subjects the question paper is based on.
- Parts: the question paper is divided into parts, each with its own set of topics.
- Marks and duration: most exams carry 100 marks and 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Medium: the language of the question paper for each part.
Important: Kerala PSC states that questions from other topics related to the educational qualification prescribed for the post may also appear. It also does not guarantee that every main topic will be covered. So do not study only the listed headings. Cover the whole subject.
Common Subject Areas in Kerala PSC Exams
Syllabi differ from post to post, so use the official link as your final guide. As a rough guide, preparation for Kerala PSC posts commonly involves:
- General knowledge and current affairs

- Mathematics and mental ability
- English and Malayalam language skills
- Subject-specific topics for technical posts, such as electrical engineering, medical subjects or fisheries
For technical and professional posts (for example Assistant Engineer, Assistant Professor and Cath Lab Technician), the syllabus is mostly based on the educational qualification prescribed for the post.
