Yadgir land surveyor, VAO exam held smoothly, 13,490 appear
The Story in Brief
The direct recruitment examination for land surveyors and village administrative officers in Karnataka's Revenue Department was held peacefully across 25 centres in Yadgir district on Sunday, 25 October 2026. The Karnataka Examinations Authority conducted the written test.
Deputy Commissioner Rahul Pandve said 6,918 of 9,607 registered candidates appeared in the morning session, while 2,689 were absent. In the afternoon session, 6,572 of 9,152 registered applicants took the exam, with 2,580 absent. Overall, 13,490 candidates appeared.
Stringent security, including adequate police deployment, was in place at all centres. Basic facilities such as drinking water, power backup and emergency medical support were provided. Pandve praised the coordinated efforts of multiple departments, including the Police, Health, and KSRTC, for ensuring a transparent examination.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The smooth conduct of this exam in a single district reflects the administrative machinery's capacity to handle large-scale recruitment. The combined absence of over 5,200 registered candidates suggests either last-minute disqualifications or low motivation among applicants. The next step will be the evaluation of answer sheets and the publication of results by the Karnataka Examinations Authority.
