The Karnataka Civil Services (Procedure for Selection of Candidates during Recruitment) Act, 2018

General20184 sections

This Act establishes a specific procedure for selecting candidates for Karnataka civil service positions. It applies to selection authorities overseeing recruitment for competitive examinations, preliminary tests, and final lists. The Act mandates a merit-based approach where eligible candidates are first arranged in order without considering caste, tribe, or class. Separate lists are then created for general merit positions and reserved category positions. This ensures transparency in recruitment while maintaining reservation policies for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. It matters because it standardizes how government jobs are filled in Karnataka, creating a fair and systematic process that balances merit with equitable representation.
