Timerjob is not working - it doesn't show up in central admin monitoring tab

Question

Dear all,
I have enabled the timer job using the following class file and event receiver file. After enabling in powershell - the job is not appearing in job definition in central administration.
Any inputs are highly appreciated. Since I am new to SP2010 - I will then try to debug the timer job.

Hi sathyaav,
Based on your code, I suggest you debug your code step by step to see to check whether the variables are valid.
Also, I suggest you check if you have actived web application feature in Central Administartion ->"Manage Web Applications"->select web application and click manage feature in ribbon->Active your timer job.
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
Create and Deploy Custom Timer Job Definition in SharePoint Programatically
