# KPSC announces KAS prelims on November 15 with 319 vacancies 2026-11-01T18:21:16+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Karnataka Public Service Commission has set November 15, 2026 for the Karnataka Administrative Services Preliminary Examination. Paper I runs from 10 AM to 12 PM and Paper II from 2 PM to 4 PM on the same day. A total of 319 vacancies will be filled through this recruitment drive, comprising 117 Group A and 202 Group B positions. Candidates can download the official notice from kpsc.kar.nic.in and must carry their admit card and a valid photo identity proof to the examination centre. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The crucial link between the noted omission and the bigger picture is that after removing salary and benefits, this revision increases tax for those earning over Rs 25 lakh annually, who will now pay Rs 7,500 more in tax, widening the gap between salaried and business taxpayers. The source leaves unresolved whether this is the final finance bill or subject to further revision, and it does not specify the official date for implementation of this new structure. ## Coverage - jagranjosh.com Straight announcement service bulletin with no editorial framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
