# KEA announces 141 Female Supervisor posts with 25% in-service quota 2026-11-11T04:17:56+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has notified 141 Female Supervisor vacancies in the Women and Child Development Department under Group-C with a pay scale of Rs 44,425 to Rs 83,700. The recruitment, opened on November 3, 2026, includes a 25% provision for in-service employees of the department, of which 5% is reserved for women in lower-pay-scale posts. If enough eligible in-service candidates are not found, the remaining vacancies will shift to open recruitment. Applicants need a bachelor's degree in Home Science, Social Work, Sociology, or Community Science. The selection process is a two-paper competitive exam, each of 100 questions for 100 marks over two hours, with a 0.25 negative mark per wrong answer. Applications close on November 28, 2026, and fee payment by November 29, 2026. The official notification is available on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 25% in-service provision means departmental employees may fill more than a quarter of the 141 posts, shrinking the pool open to general applicants. A further 5% reserve for women in lower-paid roles could shift even more vacancies away from direct recruitment if eligible candidates come forward. Applicants counting on open competition must check the final vacancy allocation, which depends on how many in-service employees qualify. The notification leaves unclear how many of the 141 posts will actually go to general candidates until the in-service quota is exhausted. The November 28 deadline gives candidates just over two weeks to apply, while the competitive exam and negative marking demand focused preparation. ## Coverage - edexlive.com Leads with government recruitment provision, factual listing of rules This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
