# KEA Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026: 218 Posts, Diploma Walo Ke Liye Bada Mauka, Last Date 26 Nov
Diploma karke baithe hue kai students ke man me ek hi sawaal ghoomta hai — diploma ke baad sarkari naukri ka koi bada darwaza kab khulega? Karnataka ke aise candidates ke liye is sawaal ka jawab ab saamne hai. KEA Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026 ke tahat Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) ne Group-C technical posts ke liye 218 vacancies nikali hain. Isme Junior Engineer (Civil) ke saath Assistant City/Town Planner aur Draughtsman ke posts bhi shaamil hain. Agar aapke paas Civil ka 3-year diploma hai, to yeh bharti aapke liye ek gambhir mauka hai, halke me lene wali khabar nahi.
Lekin is bharti me ek pech bhi hai, jo samajhna zaroori hai. Yeh ek nahi, do notifications ka mila-jula total hai. Ek Residual Parent Cadre (RPC) ke liye hai, doosra Kalyana-Karnataka (KK) local cadre ke liye. Dono ke advertisement number alag hain, lekin apply karne ki window ek hi hai. Galat cadre ya galat notification chunna aapka form kharab kar sakta hai. Isliye is is KEA bharti ko poora padhna, sirf headline padhna kaafi nahi hai.
KEA Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026 — Ek Nazar Me
KEA, yaani Karnataka Examinations Authority, Karnataka sarkar ki woh sanstha hai jo state ke kai competitive exams aur recruitments karwati hai. Is bharti me vacancies Karnataka ke alag-alag government departments, boards aur corporations me hain.

Form sirf online bhara jayega, KEA ke recruitment portal se.

Kaun Apply Kare
Seedha sawaal hai: kya aap KEA Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026 ke liye bane hain? Agar aapne Civil Engineering me 3-year diploma kiya hai, to aap is daud me shaamil hain. Kaun apply kare? Woh candidate jisne recognised institution se Civil ka diploma poora kar liya ho, jo Karnataka government departments me technical kaam karna chahta ho, aur jo OMR based competitive exam ki taiyari kar sakta ho. Assistant City/Town Planner ke liye Civil (General) ya Civil (Draftsmanship) diploma bhi sweekar kiya gaya hai, aur Greater Bengaluru Authority ke JE post ke liye Architectural diploma jaise prescribed equivalents bhi bataye gaye hain.
Kaun apply na kare? Woh candidate jo abhi diploma ka exam de raha hai aur result ka intezar kar raha hai. Notification ke hisaab se result-awaited candidates apply nahi kar sakte, kyunki required qualification aur certificates aakhri date tak haath me hone chahiye. Woh candidate bhi apply na kare jiska diploma Civil se juda hi nahi hai, ya jo Kannada Language Test ki shart ko nazarandaaz kar raha hai. Kannada test qualifying hai, lekin use halke me lena galti hogi.
Ek aur zaroori baat: cadre ka chunav. RPC aur Kalyana-Karnataka alag-alag cadre hain. Apni eligibility aur local cadre ki shart ke hisaab se hi notification chunein. Galat cadre me form bharna aapko merit list se bahar kar sakta hai, chahe exam me achhe marks hi kyun na aayein.
Vacancy Details
Kul 218 posts ka break-up post ke hisaab se is prakar hai:
| Post ka naam | Kul posts |
|---|---|
| Assistant City/Town Planner | 119 |
| Junior Engineer (Civil) | 97 |
| Draughtsman | 2 |
| Kul | 218 |
Cadre ke hisaab se break-up is prakar hai: Residual Parent Cadre (RPC) me 187 posts aur Kalyana-Karnataka (KK) local cadre me 31 posts. KK notification ke post-wise details bhi saamne aaye hain: Assistant Town Planner 14, Junior Engineer (Civil) — Karnataka Housing Board 5, Greater Bengaluru Authority 4, Mines and Geology 4, Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited 3, aur Agricultural Marketing Department 1. Inka total 31 hota hai.
Is hisaab se Assistant City/Town Planner ke 119 posts me se KK ke 14 ghatane par RPC ke 105 bachte hain, aur JE Civil ke 97 posts me se KK ke 17 ghatane par RPC ke 80 bachte hain. Yeh split kul totals se nikala gaya hai, isliye antim post-wise aur category-wise details ke liye dono notifications ka vacancy table khud check karein. Posts provisional bhi ho sakti hain, aur government ke aadesh par inme badlav bhi ho sakta hai.
Draughtsman ke sirf 2 posts hain, isliye is post ke liye competition sabse zyada hoga. Kam posts wali category me apply karne wale candidates ko exam ki taiyari aur bhi gambhirta se karni chahiye, kyunki merit me thoda sa farq bhi selection se bahar kar sakta hai.
Eligibility Aur Age Limit
Educational qualification ki buniyad 3-year Diploma in Civil Engineering hai. Lekin har post ki apni bariki hai. Assistant Town Planner ke liye Diploma in Civil Engineering, ya equivalent Diploma in Civil Engineering (General), ya Diploma in Civil Engineering (Draftsmanship) sweekar hai. Greater Bengaluru Authority ke Junior Engineer post ke liye 3-year Diploma in Civil Engineering (General), Diploma in Civil Engineering (Draftsmanship), Diploma in Architectural, ya Diploma in Architectural Assistantship (C-20 syllabus) bataya gaya hai.
Doosre JE posts ke liye aam taur par government se recognised institute se Civil ka diploma zaroori hai. Greater Bengaluru Authority ke JE post ke liye AutoCAD ki training desirable batayi gayi hai, matlab zaroori nahi lekin preference mil sakti hai. Agar aapne AutoCAD seekha hai, to uska certificate taiyaar rakhein.
Age limit ki baat karein to minimum age 18 saal hai. Maximum age General Merit (GM) ke liye 40 saal, Category 2A, 2B, 3A aur 3B ke liye 43 saal, aur SC, ST aur Category-1 ke liye 45 saal hai. Age aakhri date ke hisaab se gini jayegi, yaani application submit karne ki antim tithi par aapki age in limits me honi chahiye. Age relaxation ke doosre niyam bhi hain, jaise ex-servicemen ke liye service period plus 3 saal, PwD ke liye 10 saal, aur Karnataka government service wale candidates ke liye service ke saal ya 10 saal, jo kam ho.
Candidate ko Indian citizen hona chahiye, aur mansik aur shaaririk roop se fit hona chahiye. Agar medical board kisi candidate ko duty ke liye unfit paata hai, to state government uska selection reject kar sakti hai. Isliye health se sambandhit jaankari form me imaandari se dein.
Salary Aur Service Shartein
Selected candidates ko pay scale ₹54,175 se ₹99,400 per month milega. Yeh rakam basic pay scale hai, iske upar Karnataka government ke niyamon ke hisaab se Dearness Allowance (DA) aur House Rent Allowance (HRA) jaise allowances judenge. Starting basic ₹54,175 ka matlab saal bhar me lagbhag ₹6,50,100 basic pay hota hai, allowances alag se. Lekin in-hand rakam posting ki jagah aur us waqt lagu allowance rates par nirbhar karegi, isliye koi pakki in-hand rakam yahan nahi batayi ja rahi hai.
Direct recruitment se chune gaye candidates ke liye 2 saal ka probation period hoga. Probation ka matlab hai ki shuru ke 2 saal aapki service ki parakh hogi, uske baad hi service confirm hogi. Is dauran kaam, attendance aur conduct sab dekha jayega. Probation ko halke me lena naye employees ki sabse aam galti hoti hai.
Pay scale department ya post ke hisaab se thoda alag bhi ho sakta hai, isliye apni chuni hui post ka pay scale notification me zaroor milayein. Sirf headline wali rakam par bharosa karke form mat bhariye.
Important Dates Aur Fee
Dates ki list ko ek jagah note kar lein, kyunki KEA Junior Engineer Recruitment 2026 me apply date aur fee date ko lekar thoda confusion faila hua hai.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notification date | 31 October 2026 |
| Online application shuru | 31 October 2026 |
| Last date (online application) | 26 November 2026 |
| Fee payment last date | 26 November 2026 (kuch summaries me 27 November 2026) |
| Kannada Language Test | 8 January 2027, dopahar 3 se shaam 5 baje tak |
| Competitive exam (Paper-1 aur Paper-2) | January 2027 (official schedule se confirm karein) |
Fee payment ki date par dhyan dein. Kuch summaries me fee payment ki aakhri date 27 November 2026 batayi gayi hai, jabki kuch me 26 November 2026 hi likhi hai. Sabse surakshit tareeka yeh hai ki fee bhi 26 November tak hi pay kar dein, taaki date ke farq ki wajah se form atak na jaye. Fee pay karne ke baad receipt aur form ka status dono check karein.
Fee structure is prakar hai:
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General Merit aur Category 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B | ₹750 |
| SC, ST, Category-1, Ex-servicemen, Third gender | ₹500 |
| Persons with Disabilities (PwD) | ₹250 |
Fee online hi pay karni hai aur yeh non-refundable hai. Matlab ek baar pay karne ke baad fee wapas nahi milegi, chahe aap exam dein ya na dein. Isliye fee pay karne se pehle category aur post ka chunav pakka kar lein.
Selection Process Aur Exam Pattern
Selection process ka sabse bada hissa competitive examination hai. Yeh exam offline OMR format me hoga, matlab aapko answer sheet par options ko shade karna hoga. Exam me do papers honge, aur uske saath ek qualifying Kannada Language Test bhi hoga, jab tak aap usse exempt na hon.
Exam pattern is prakar hai:
| Paper | Subject | Questions | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper-1 | General Knowledge | 100 | 100 | 2 ghante |
| Paper-2 | Specific Paper (syllabus alag se) | 100 | 100 | 2 ghante |
| Kannada Language Test | Kannada (qualifying) | — | 150 (maximum), 50 (minimum) | 2 ghante |
Competitive exam me qualify karne ke liye kam se kam 35% marks zaroori hain. Har galat jawab par 0.25 mark negative marking ke taur par katenge. Ek khaas baat aur hai: jo sawaal aap nahi karte, unke liye OMR me paanchva option shade karna zaroori hai, warna har aise sawaal par bhi 0.25 mark kat jayega. Aakhri bell ke baad paanchva option shade karne ke liye 5 minute extra diye jayenge.
Kannada Language Test ke marks selection ya seniority me count nahi honge, lekin isme minimum 50 marks lana zaroori hai. Jin candidates ne SSLC ya equivalent me Kannada first ya second language ke roop me padhi ho, unhe is test se chhoot mil sakti hai, lekin chhoot ki shart notification me zaroor padhein.
Exam ke baad merit ya rank kul marks ke percentage ke hisaab se banegi. Phir online counselling hogi, jisme option entry, Candidate Verification Slip aur mock allotment shaamil honge. Provisional selection list 1:1 ratio me banegi, uske baad final selection list aur additional list aayegi. Antim roop se documents ki verification appointing authority karegi, KEA nahi.
Tie-breaker ka niyam bhi samajh lein: agar do candidates ke marks barabar hon, to zyada age wale candidate ko upar rank milegi. Agar age bhi barabar ho, to qualifying exam me zyada marks wale candidate ko upar rakha jayega. Isliye har ek mark ki keemat hai.
Apply Kaise Karein
Form bharne ka tareeka step-by-step yeh hai:
- KEA ki official website kholein: cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea.
- Recruitment section me apne cadre ke hisaab se sahi notification chunein — RPC ke liye ED/KEA/41/Ne.Vi/2026, Kalyana-Karnataka ke liye ED/KEA/40/Ne.Vi/2026.
- Notification PDF download karke apni post ki eligibility, age aur fee dhyan se padhein.
- Recruitment portal kearecruitment.karnataka.gov.in par registration karein.
- Personal details, qualification aur category ki jaankari sahi-sahi bharein. Reservation claim karte waqt RD number sahi dein.
- Documents scan karke sahi format me upload karein.
- Fee online pay karein aur payment ka status confirm karein.
- Final submit karne se pehle poora form dobara padhein, kyunki submit ke baad koi jaankari change nahi ki ja sakti.
- Submitted form ka print ya PDF sambhal kar rakhein, aur application number note kar lein.
Ek baat aur: option entry baad me online login se hi hogi. Option haath se ya dak se nahi bheje ja sakte. Counselling ke dauran har candidate sirf ek post ke liye select ho sakta hai, isliye option entry ke waqt apni preference imaandari se tay karein.
Documents Checklist
Application aur verification ke liye ye documents taiyaar rakhein:
- SSLC aur diploma ki original mark cards aur qualification certificates
- Caste ya reservation certificate, prescribed form me, RD number ke saath
- Rural candidates ke liye Form-1 (jahan lagu ho), RD number ke saath, aur Form-2 jo headmaster se certified aur Block Education Officer se countersigned ho
- Kannada medium certificate, Classes 1 se 10 tak ke liye, school headmaster ke sign aur seal ke saath
- Photo ID proof aur exam ke din admit card
- Category, ex-servicemen ya PwD se sambandhit certificate (agar lagu ho)
- Recent photograph aur signature ka scan
Reservation jo application me claim nahi kiya gaya, use baad me joda nahi ja sakta. Galat claim kiya gaya reservation Candidate Verification Slip me sirf mock allotment shuru hone se pehle hataya ja sakta hai. Isliye category ka daava karte waqt certificate ka RD number aur format dono check kar lein.
Practical Tips Aur Aam Galtiyan
Is bharti me sabse zyada galtiyan cadre chunne me hoti hain. RPC aur KK me confuse hokar galat notification me form bharna seedha nuksaan hai. Doosri galti hai RD number galat bharna. Reservation ka daava RD number par tika hota hai, isliye certificate se number mila kar hi bharein.
Teesri galti hai OMR ki aadat na hona. Kai diploma students ne saalon se OMR sheet nahi bhari hoti. Exam se pehle OMR practice zaroor karein, khaas taur par paanchva option shade karne ki aadat daalein, warna bina kiye sawaalon par bhi negative marking lagegi. Chauthi galti hai Kannada test ko nazarandaaz karna. Qualifying hone ke bawajood isme fail hona aage ka rasta band kar sakta hai.
Paanchvi galti hai aakhri din form bharna. 26 November tak ka waqt hai, lekin portal par load aur payment ki dikkat aakhri din sabse zyada hoti hai. Kam se kam 3–4 din pehle form poora kar lein. Chhathi galti hai syllabus ko halke me lena. Paper-2 ka syllabus alag se publish hota hai, isliye sirf General Knowledge padhna kaafi nahi hai. Apne diploma ke core subjects ko dobara revise karein.
Taiyari ki baat karein to Paper-1 ke liye roz General Knowledge ke 30–40 minute aur Paper-2 ke liye diploma ke core topics ke 1–2 ghante ka routine banayein. Mock test me negative marking ke saath practice karein, taaki andaze par jawab dene ki aadat chhoot jaye. Jo sawaal nahi aata, use chhodna aur paanchva option shade karna ek strategy hai, kamzori nahi.
