KPSC comes up with reforms to ensure transparency in future exams

Even as the Karnataka High Court has ordered a court-monitored investigation into the alleged irregularities in the recruitment processes of the Karnataka State Public Service Commission (KPSC), the commission has decided to implement reforms to ensure transparency in the examinations to be conducted in future.

Key reforms to be implemented by the KPSC include discontinuing the document verification stage, uploading the Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets exams to the website for public access, disclosing candidates’ marks along with their registration numbers, names, and categories, and completing the Gazetted Probationary (KAS) examination and recruitment process within 11 months.

“These reforms will be applicable to all recruitment notifications already issued as well as those to be issued in the future,” said K. Jyothi, secretary, KPSC.
