New LDC Notification Released by Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board 2025
The long-awaited notification for the Lower Division Clerk (LDC) post under the Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board 2025 has finally been released. This update brings great news for aspiring candidates, especially due to the relaxed eligibility criteria compared to previous years.
No DCA Required – Just Basic Computer Knowledge
One major highlight of the Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board 2025 notification is the change in educational qualification. Unlike the previous Malabar Devaswom LDC recruitment, where a DCA (Diploma in Computer Application) was mandatory, this time only basic computer knowledge is required. This makes the opportunity accessible to a wider group of candidates.
Number of Vacancies and Notification Details
The notification has been released for 36 vacancies under the Guruvayur Devaswom Board. Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria can now apply and start their preparation immediately.

Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board 2025 – Application Process
Applicants must apply through the official Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board (KDRB) website. This is not a PSC recruitment, so a separate profile must be created on the KDRB portal. If you have already applied for previous KDRB recruitments, you can use the same profile to apply.
- Application Fee:
- General/OBC: ₹500
- SC/ST: ₹250
Rank List Validity and Selection Process
The rank list prepared as part of this notification will be valid for up to three years. Appointments will be made directly from this list. If a new rank list is published before the completion of one year, the current list will no longer be valid.
This is a great opportunity for candidates who may have missed out on other LDC recruitments recently. Since the Guruvayur Devaswom Board LDC notification is likely to be the final one in the series (after Thiruvithamkoor and Malabar), eligible candidates are encouraged to apply without delay.
Syllabus Overview for Kerala Devaswom Recruitment Board 2025
The syllabus is mostly similar to a typical LDC exam, with an additional focus on temple rituals and Devaswom-related topics. This component makes the exam slightly unique, so candidates are advised to include it in their preparation strategy.
