Kerala PSC LGS Mock Tests, Syllabus & Complete Exam Guide

Kerala PSC LGS — Last Grade Servants — is one of the most popular entry-level recruitment tests in Kerala, filling posts such as Peon, Watchman, Cleaner and Office Attendant across state government departments, boards and institutions. It is set at a 7th-standard level, which makes it accessible to a very large number of candidates and, in turn, intensely competitive; a strong rank on the single objective paper can lead to a secure state government job.

Selection runs through one objective test whose score builds a ranked list; candidates on the list are then called in rank order for certificate verification and appointment as vacancies arise. The syllabus is broad but basic — General Knowledge and current affairs (with a distinctive emphasis on Kerala history and the freedom movement), general science, simple arithmetic and mental ability, and Malayalam.

Kerala history and the freedom movement are the heart of the General Knowledge section — the Travancore, Cochin and Malabar princely past, the 1956 formation of Kerala, the 1957 first elected communist government, the Malabar Rebellion of 1921, and reformers and freedom fighters such as Sree Narayana Guru, Ayyankali and Velu Thampi Dalawa come up repeatedly, so build these into strong, repeatedly revised notes alongside core Indian history and steady current affairs.

General science, simple arithmetic and mental ability are predictable and high-return at this level, so drill everyday science, number series, coding, percentages and averages until they are quick and reliable. Because a ranked list rewards every extra mark, aim for both speed and accuracy; even in the no-negative-marking model, careless mistakes cost ranks. The Malayalam section rewards steady practice of grammar, synonyms, antonyms and idioms in the Malayalam script.
