Karnataka PSI exam postponed second time in one day; New date to be announced soon
Bengaluru: The Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) recruitment exam, scheduled for September 28, has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict with the UPSC examination on the same date. Karnataka Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar made the announcement on Thursday through an official press release, stating that a new exam date will be finalized and communicated in the coming days.
The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) was set to conduct the PSI exam for 402 posts on September 28, a date that was already rescheduled from its original plan of September 22. However, with the UPSC exam coinciding on the same day, the decision was taken to avoid clashes and allow candidates to appear for both exams.
Dr. Parameshwar also addressed delays surrounding the final selection list for 545 PSI posts from a previous recruitment drive during the BJP administration. Irregularities in that recruitment process had led to the cancellation of results and legal challenges. Despite conducting a re-examination under court approval, the final selection list is still pending due to ongoing legal proceedings.

The minister acknowledged that there has been no PSI recruitment in Karnataka for the past four years. Given the additional time required for the selection process, including document verification, training, and a two-year probationary period, efforts are being made to expedite the recruitment for 402 PSI posts.
He also revealed plans to recruit an additional 600 PSI posts following this exam. Addressing concerns about previous recruitment scandals, Dr. Parameshwar emphasized that investigations are underway to uncover corruption that occurred during the BJP rule. While clarifying that the current government is not pursuing "hate politics," he warned that if BJP continues such tactics, the Congress government may have to respond accordingly.
