The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) announced the provisional outcomes of the written test for City and District Armed Reserve (CAR/DAR) police constable positions, noting that the results were made public just five days after the examination took place, a first for the agency.
On the day of the exam, candidates' OMR answer sheets were scanned and uploaded to KEA’s website on a centre‑wise basis. The official answer key was released on September 7, after which aspirants could raise objections until September 9. Following the objection period, KEA published a revised answer key on September 10.
KEA conducts large‑scale recruitment drives for Karnataka’s police forces, and the swift turnaround is expected to reduce uncertainty for the thousands of applicants awaiting placement. Faster result declaration also aids the police department in filling vacant constable posts more promptly, potentially enhancing law‑enforcement capacity across the state.
