Kerala Man Gets Government Job Letter 18 Years After Applying: ‘Delay Cost Me’

Abdul Majeed, a resident of Kalikavu in Malappuram district, recently received an advice memo from the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) for appointment as a part-time junior Arabic teacher. The offer was linked to a recruitment process in which he had participated more than 20 years ago.

According to reports, Majeed appeared for the PSC examination in 2005 and was included in the rank list prepared for the post. However, the rank list remained valid for only three years and was officially cancelled in 2008. In an unexpected development, the PSC issued an advice memo to him on April 24, 2026—18 years after the list had expired.
