The governor has dismissed the commission's chairman, and a police case has been registered. BJP state president BY Vijayendra alleged a Rs 400-crore scam and demanded a CBI investigation, accusing the state government of relying on an internal committee. The state government is now transferring major examinations from the KPSC to the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), which has conducted CET and professional entrance exams. Former KPSC member Dr Chandrakant D Shivakeri told The Federal that the commission must rebuild public confidence through transparency, acknowledging past corruption has tarnished its reputation. ## Coverage - thefederal.com Tags: CBI investigation, corruption, government jobs, Karnataka PSC, KEA, recruitment scam Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/karnataka-psc-faces-collapse-amid-bribery-and-exam-scandals/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
