IIMK is not responsible for postal delay. An online application alone is treated as incomplete.
Suggested (not stated in the notification): use our Photo & Signature Resizer if the portal asks for scanned photo or signature uploads.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending only the online application without the signed printout and documents. The notice treats this as incomplete and rejects it.
- Missing the equivalent pay/salary proof for non-government or contract experience. Without it, the experience is not counted.
- Combining more than one post in a single application or paying only one fee when applying for multiple posts.
- Forgetting to write the post name and post code on the envelope, or using ordinary post instead of Speed Post/Registered Post/Courier.
- Serving government employees not obtaining proper-channel forwarding or NOC. Advance copy alone is not sufficient for final consideration.

How Are Candidates Selected?
Selection is by written test only. The notice does not mention an interview stage.
The institute may limit the number of candidates called for the written test based on higher parameters above the essential qualifications. At the time of the written test, there is certificate verification. Candidates who do not meet the criteria are rejected even if called.
Shortlisted candidates alone are called. No TA/DA is mentioned. Candidates must bring one of Passport / Electoral Identity Card / Aadhaar Card as identity proof, or the application is rejected, and they are not permitted to attend.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
These are regular Group-B/C posts on 7th CPC pay levels at a central IIM, with NPS, LTC and medical facility mentioned for regular staff. The closest alternative for similar clerical experience is other central autonomous academic institutes or university non-teaching drives, which also use written-test shortlisting plus document verification.
Best fit: Graduates with 5–8 years of documented office clerical or accounting experience in the exact pay-level bands (or equivalent salary proof) who want a stable central institute posting in Kerala.
Who should skip: Fresh graduates or candidates whose experience includes only apprenticeship/training, or those who cannot produce continuous salary proofs matching the prescribed entry pay. Kochi initial posting for certain Assistant seats may also not suit everyone.

- Experience certificates (latest to earliest, clearly mentioning period of employment)
