# About Kerala PSC & Thulasi
The **Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC)** is the body created by the Constitution of India to select applicants for civil service jobs in the Indian state of Kerala according to the merits of the applicants and the rules of reservation.
**'Thulasi'** is the official software portal used by Kerala PSC for **One Time Registration (OTR)**. Candidates must register their profile once on the Thulasi portal, after which they can apply for any number of posts suitable to their qualifications with a single click. No repeated data entry or photo upload is required for individual applications, making the process seamless.
# How to Register (Step-by-Step)

- New Registration: Click on the 'New Registration' tab. Enter your basic details like Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Religion, and Caste.

- Contact Verification: Verify your Mobile Number via OTP and provide a valid Email ID. User ID and Password will be generated.
