dynamic and powerful post.
Objective of KAS:-
 is to indulge young and dynamic candidates to be
part of Kerala administration and decision making

 they will be efficient substitute for IAS officers.
Why KAS?
Direct recruitment
8 years of service –promotion to IAS
The number of aspirants who promotes to IAS from Deputy
Collector(current highest cadre) in Kerala is very less.
This vacancy cannot be filled by all India quota also. Due to
these reasons, almost 70 cadres are vacant in Kerala.
This situation forces the civil servants in the service to
handle more than one department and creates some
inefficiency in the department.
 common platform:-
It will bring gazetted employees in Kerala Secretariat and
outside under a common platform and will channel a
stream of youngsters who are capable of changing the
preface of Kerala government.
 It can bring talented and committed officers in
Government Service and prepare them for senior level
administrative and managerial positions in public service.
 Hardly 10 to 15 IAS aspirants of the state were getting
qualified in the all India Civil Services examination.
 KAS can bring more aspirants to administrative
services and offer them the dream job .
 There are likely to be 300 vacancies for KAS post in a
year.

and is going to be the highest cadre one can be
recruited in Kerala through Kerala PSC .
