The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released four recruitment notices dated 29 October 2026 for 5,431 vacancies in Karnataka government departments. They cover First Division Assistant (FDA), Second Division Assistant (SDA), Accounts Assistant, Hostel Superintendent, Warden, GP Secretary and many more Group-C posts. Two notices are for degree holders and two are for II PUC pass candidates, so there is a post for most Karnataka youngsters.

Read the sections below for your own notice. Dates, exam days and posts differ. You can be selected for only one post, so choose carefully. GovtJobsAlert.in has simplified everything for you.

| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| 1. Kannada Language Test | Qualifying only, 150 marks MCQ, minimum 50 to pass. Marks do not count for merit. Exempt if you studied Kannada as first or second language up to SSLC or higher, studied in Kannada medium, or already passed the compulsory Kannada test |
| 2. Competitive Exam | Paper-1 and Paper-2, offline OMR, minimum 35% mandatory |
| 3. Online Counselling | Option entry, mock allotment and merit-based allotment |
