The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Protests broke out among candidates at a police constable recruitment exam centre at Sharadamba PU College in Tikota, Vijayapura district, over alleged irregularities in question paper and OMR sheet distribution.
- Candidates said papers were handed out about 30 minutes late, with inconsistent distribution order across classrooms, and many walked out demanding a re-examination.
- Officials, including Deputy Commissioner Anandh K., said the exam followed the KEA's standard operating procedure and clarified that serial numbers on question papers and OMR sheets need not match.
- Candidates who left with question papers and OMR sheets were barred from re-entering for violating KEA rules, while around 115 candidates appeared at the centre.
What to watch next
- Whether the Karnataka government or KEA responds to demands for a re-examination.
