The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) published the provisional result of the Village Administrative Officer (VAO) exam for Residual Parent Cadre (RPC) posts on 19 October 2026. This is a provisional score list, not the final selection list, so candidates still have a chance to raise objections before KEA finalises the merit.
The RPC written exam was held on 4 October 2026 and had two papers: General Knowledge and a Specific Paper (Paper 2). Three official links are now live: the individual result login, the provisional score note (PDF) and an objection submission form.
