KEA orders investigation into VAO exam results amid allegations of malpractice

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) recruitment exam results due to public suspicion of malpractice. The controversy arose after a candidate who scored 25 marks in the KSRP constable exam scored 151 marks in the VAO exam. KEA has instructed the Haveli District Commissioner to review the exam center's CCTV footage for any violations or lapses. The authority also confirmed that the candidate appeared at the exam center and that the OMR sheet was scanned and uploaded to the official KEA website on October 5.
