The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) is set to release the KPSC KAS Hall Ticket 2024 for the Gazetted Probationers Group A and Group B Preliminary Examination this week. This highly anticipated exam is an essential step for candidates aspiring to serve in Karnataka’s administrative services. With a total of 384 vacancies available, the exam provides a significant opportunity for eligible candidates.
The rescheduled Preliminary Exam will now be conducted on December 29, 2024, in an offline mode. The earlier exam faced cancellation due to translation errors between Kannada and English, prompting the commission to take corrective measures. This revised schedule ensures fairness and clarity for all applicants.
Candidates must download their hall tickets from the official website, kpsc.kar.nic.in, to participate in the examination. The admit card is mandatory for entry into the examination hall and contains vital details such as exam center and reporting time.
