# Mock exam for KAS aspirants draws 50 of 70 registrants in Mysuru 2026-10-31T00:32:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet City Central Library, Mysuru, in partnership with Jnana Gangothri Competitive Examination Centre, Bengaluru, held a mock examination for Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) aspirants on Friday, 30 October 2026. Of the 70 candidates who registered, 50 appeared for the test at the library premises in People's Park. Retired KAS officer Dr C.G. Betsurmath, who is also JSS Mahavidyapeetha Executive Secretary, addressed aspirants on preparation strategies during the inaugural event. Organisers plan to conduct spot evaluation of the answer sheets before returning them to candidates for self-analysis and preparation for the main examination. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The mock exam drew 50 of 70 registered candidates, a 71 per cent turnout that signals active demand for KAS preparation support in Mysuru. City Central Library and Jnana Gangothri have positioned the exercise as a diagnostic tool: spot evaluation lets aspirants see their gaps before the main examination. The event itself does not set a date for the actual KAS exam, leaving candidates to work from their own schedules. What remains unresolved is whether this kind of partnership between a public library and a commercial coaching centre will become a recurring fixture or remain a one-off. The practical next step for any aspirant is to collect the evaluated answer sheet and use the feedback to target weak areas before the state service notification arrives. ## Coverage - starofmysore.com Led with event logistics and turnout, no political or agency framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
