Full analysis
Overview
The website is a government-facing public-service portal for the Kerala Public Service Commission, presenting recruitment notifications, examination schedules, results, downloadable documents, candidate instructions, and official contact information; its apparent purpose is to provide administrative and informational services rather than solicit financial transactions.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The homepage presents a coherent public-service function, with recruitment, examination, results, downloads, and candidate-guidance content rather than deceptive financial offers or impersonation cues. Technical and external checks found no malicious or suspicious reputation findings, no phishing indicators, and no evidence of a brand-impersonation pattern. The site’s apparent identity is consistent with an established institution, although independent confirmation of the real-world operator remains distinct from the site’s own presentation.
- The homepage identifies Kerala Public Service Commission functions and provides structured navigation for recruitment, examinations, results, downloads, and candidate instructions.
- The domain registration record shows creation on 2013-01-08 and an age of 13.6 years.
- Web archives contain 987 snapshots spanning 2013–2026, covering 14 tracked years with continuous historical presence.
- The homepage analysis detected no login form, hidden sensitive form, wallet activity, or untrusted form destination.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The available content is consistent with a government public-service portal rather than a financial or commercial service requiring a financial-services licence. The site includes About KPSC, Authorised Signatory, contact, orders, circulars, and annual-report navigation, while its page description identifies C-DIT as the maintenance organisation. Registration records associate the domain with “Kerala Public Service Commission Government of Kerala” through the National Informatics Centre; this is supportive identity evidence, but it does not independently prove the real-world operator. The site does not present a financial licence or registration number, which is not inherently concerning for its stated informational purpose but remains a disclosure point if any activity beyond that purpose is encountered.
- The homepage provides institutional navigation including About KPSC, Authorised Signatory, Important Orders/Circulars, Judgements, Tenders, Annual Report, and Contact.
- The registration record lists National Informatics Centre as registrar and “Kerala Public Service Commission Government of Kerala” as the organisation.
- Hosting is identified as AS133037, KSITM-AS-AP – KERALA STATE IT MISSION, IN; the site’s country is recorded as India.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, uses DV validation, and is valid through 2026-12-12.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, an organisation should independently confirm that the domain and relevant instructions are referenced through an official Kerala Government or Kerala Public Service Commission channel. Recruitment notices, examination schedules, and downloadable documents should be cross-checked against independently obtained official publications, particularly where a third party requests information or payment. Any request that falls outside the portal’s stated informational and administrative purpose should be validated through an independently sourced contact route, and payment-protection controls should be confirmed before funds are transferred.
- The homepage publishes multiple enquiry telephone channels and an institutional contact route.
- The navigation exposes recruitment notifications, exam schedules, results, downloads, and candidate instructions that can be cross-checked against official records.
- The contact and institutional-information sections provide an available basis for independent confirmation of unusual requests.
Summary Verdict
The website has a high-trust, low-risk posture and the available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate government service. No scam, phishing, impersonation, or other contradictory signal was observed; however, the operator’s real-world identity is not independently verified to the standard required for treating the site’s identity as proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves to an identifiable Kerala State IT Mission hosting environment and does not use a detected CDN or WAF, leaving the service on directly resolved infrastructure rather than a distributed edge network. This identifiable government-associated hosting context is a mitigating signal, but infrastructure alignment alone is not proof of legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Routine informational use is proportionate to the observed posture. Independent institutional confirmation should precede any unusual credential, document-submission, or payment request.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about keralapsc.gov.in at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
