💡 Expert Tip

Kalyana Karnataka local candidate eligibility for this recruitment follows the Karnataka Public Employment (Kalyana-Karnataka Region) (Reservation in Appointment) Rules, 2013 — a general residence or domicile certificate is not accepted in place of the specific local-candidate eligibility proof, so obtain the correct certificate from the competent authority well before the application deadline. If you are applying for the Graduate Art Teacher or Diploma Art Teacher post, note that these two posts carry a different, slightly lower pay scale (₹49,050-92,500) compared to the other seven teaching posts, and diploma-holders must specifically hold their diploma from a Technical Examination Board recognised under Government Order No. 27 SLB 2004 dated 21.03.2006 — diplomas from unrecognised institutions will be rejected at the document verification stage.
