Karnataka government recruitment drive

Entities: Karnataka · D.K. Shivakumar · President’s Police Medal · Gaurav Gupta · Competitive Examinations and Recruitment Reform Committee

Overview

In late July 2026, Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister announced a plan to fill roughly 72,000 vacant state posts within six months, appointing senior officials to oversee the hiring process. The announcement also included recommendations for police officers to receive the President’s Police Medal.

A few days later, the state government expanded the recruitment scope to about 74,000 vacancies, specifying that 36,774 positions would be filled in the next six months. New examination safeguards were introduced, such as random question banks, tamper‑proof papers, and on‑site monitoring squads. A reform committee chaired by a former chief secretary was set up to supervise the drive, while political leaders called for a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in previous recruitment rounds.
