Karnataka Police Constable exam row: The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has denied allegations surrounding the Civil Police Constable recruitment exam, saying false social media posts misled some candidates into believing OMR sheet and question paper numbers had to match.
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has denied allegations surrounding the Civil Police recruitment examination, stating that confusion at some centres was caused by false social media posts claiming that OMR sheet numbers and question paper numbers had to match. KEA clarified that neither the official notification nor the instruction booklets required the OMR sheet and question paper number to be the same, and that candidates were only required to fill in the Question Paper Series Code and Version Code on the OMR sheet.
The unrest was reported at Sri Sharamdamba PU College in Tikota town, Vijayapura, Karnataka, where candidates raised concerns about a mismatch between the serial numbers printed on their OMR sheets and the question papers, leading some candidates to leave the examination centre.
