Explanation
กฎเกณฑ์ combines the ideas of กฎ, “rule,” and เกณฑ์, “standard” or “criterion.” It can refer both to rules people are expected to follow and to standards used for making judgments. It is common in contexts such as schools, companies, government procedures, selection processes, exams, and formal systems. The usual classifier is ข้อ.
Usage
Use this word when talking about school rules, company regulations, application or selection requirements, administrative procedures, or judging standards for exams and contests. It can appear in everyday speech, but it has a somewhat formal, organized feel.
Caution
For “law” in the legal sense, กฎหมาย is normally used. กฎเกณฑ์ usually means operating rules, regulations, or standards rather than law itself. For a simple everyday rule, กฎ may be enough.
