Sir,
For appearing the UPSC,SSC and bank exams of intermediate level,,the minimum educational qualification is to pass +2 (intermediate) or equivalent from a recognized board.
As your son is a student of +2 equivalent,and that too from a Kerela recognized board,as you have mentioned,he is surely eligible to apply for all these exams.

Good luck .

hello sir your son is completely eligible to apply for any of the UPSC or SSC exam as he is doing the certificate which has been considered by indian government equivalent to intermediate so he can apply for all those posts which require intermediate as qualification so do not worry

It is equivalent to intermediate or the ones required for the eligibility for the upsc,ssc and bank exams.So I guess your son can definitely apply for the bank clerical exams in the future.But for upsc and ssc he must be a graduate to appear for the exams.Good Luck!
