Bengaluru: More than 45000 candidates have applied for competitive exam for excise sub inspector posts, being conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission on February 17. But the candidates have complained that they are facing problem in getting hall tickets due to technical snag in KPSC website.
After downloading the hall ticket from the website, if the print option is clicked, the candidates have to wait for at least 15-20 minutes. Moreover, they have been confronting the server problem very often and especially in rural areas, the candidates were finding it difficult to get the hall tickets.
Condemning the negligence of the KPSC, several candidates staged a protest in front of the KPSC office here on Thursday to draw the attention of the authorities.
To get a printed copy of the hall tickets, the candidates have to change the paper settings in the computers. Otherwise, the hall ticket would not be printed completely. In urban areas, the candidates are getting the printouts easily with the help of experts. But in rural areas, candidates have been facing this problem. It is said that the candidates who have taken the competitive exams earlier had faced the same problem. The candidates appealed the KPSC authorities to rectify the problem immediately.
How to get hall ticket?
After log in into the website, the candidate has to click on ‘My Application’ and later, mention 2018 and select ‘Direct Recruitment’ in Advertisement Type. Later, in ‘Post Name’, they have to click ‘Excise Sub Inspector’. After this, the candidate has to click on ‘Application ID’ followed by ‘Hall Ticket’ to get the download of the copy, according to a press release from the KPSC.

Lucknow (PTI): Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai was hospitalised here after he fell unconscious due to low sodium levels, party leaders said on Saturday.
They said he was admitted to Medanta Hospital on Friday evening and is stable.
"Ajay Rai was admitted to Medanta Hospital in Lucknow at around 6 pm on Friday after he fell unconscious as his sodium levels had dropped. He fell unconscious at his residence in Lucknow. For the entire day, he was engaged in party programmes and had also gone to the airport," Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Anshu Awasthi told PTI.
Congress in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Avinash Pande told PTI, "Now, he (Ajay Rai) is stable and I am also reaching Lucknow."
Medanta Hospital Director Dr Rakesh Kapoor told PTI that Rai collapsed at his home on Friday evening and was subsequently admitted to the hospital's emergency ward.
Medical examinations revealed that Rai was suffering from a sodium deficiency and elevated blood pressure. Doctors administered immediate treatment and he is doing significantly better now, Kapoor said.
A team of doctors is monitoring his health. Rai is conversing with others and his condition is stable, he added.
In a post on X late Friday night, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished Rai a speedy recovery.
Rai hails from Varanasi and had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections against Modi from the parliamentary constituency. The Congress appointed him as the Uttar Pradesh unit chief in 2023.
