Important Instructions for Applicants
Candidates should select the correct recruitment link while applying because this notification is different from Civil Police Constable and Armed Police Constable CAR/DAR recruitment drives.
Applicants must also distinguish between the Residual Parent Cadre and Kalyana Karnataka categories. Choosing the wrong category may result in rejection during document verification.
Candidates should use their own mobile number and email address because future alerts related to the exam date, admit card, physical test and document verification may be sent through registered contact details.
They should also avoid submitting multiple applications unless specifically permitted under the recruitment rules.
