Moochekkal Abdul Majeed, a resident of Kalikavu in Malappuram district, Kerala, has become a focal point for discussions on government employment delays after receiving an appointment order for a teaching position 18 years after passing the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) examination in 2005. Despite being included in the rank list for the role of Part-Time Junior Language Teacher (Arabic), the appointment process faced significant delays, leading to the expiration of the rank list in 2008. Majeed received the appointment order in April 2026, but by then, he had already reached the retirement age of 60. He claims that administrative negligence contributed to the prolonged wait and has appealed to state officials for consideration of a discrepancy in his birth date, which could allow him to serve for an additional year. This incident has reignited concerns over the efficiency of the PSC recruitment process.
