Kerala PSC LDC Mock Tests, Syllabus & Complete Exam Guide

The Kerala PSC Lower Division Clerk (LDC) examination is one of the most popular and widely written recruitment tests in Kerala. It fills clerical LDC posts across state government departments, local self-government bodies and public-sector undertakings, and needs only a pass in the SSLC (Class 10) examination, so it attracts a very large pool of candidates competing for a limited number of vacancies. A strong rank on the objective paper can lead to a secure Kerala government job.

Selection runs through a single objective test whose score builds a district-wise ranked list; candidates on the list are then called in rank order for certificate verification and appointment as vacancies arise. The syllabus stays at SSLC level — General Knowledge and current affairs (with a strong Kerala focus), general science, simple arithmetic and mental ability, and language (Malayalam and English) — so accuracy, revision and speed decide who reaches the top of the list.

Kerala general knowledge is the heart of the paper: the state's 14 districts, its rivers such as the Periyar, Bharathapuzha and Pamba, the Vembanad backwaters, the Western Ghats and peaks like Anamudi, and Kerala's ports and geography come up again and again, so build these into strong, repeatedly revised notes. Pair this with a stable base of Indian polity, geography and current affairs.

General science and mental-ability questions are predictable and high-return, so drill SSLC-level physics, chemistry and biology alongside simple arithmetic and reasoning until they are quick and reliable. Because a ranked list rewards every extra mark, aim for both speed and accuracy; careless mistakes cost ranks. Full-length timed mocks build the speed the 75-minute paper demands, and the Malayalam section rewards steady practice of grammar, sandhi, samasam, synonyms, antonyms and idioms in the Malayalam script.
