Thanks to All for visiting News Bird. By this time KPSC should have announced the Notification for KAS Exams. But due to some reasons it's not yet announced. Please keep visiting our Blog for the updates. We will announce it once it's made public. Thanks for your patience.

Dear sir,
This is savita...i hv completd BE in computer science...i am a fresher..i want to prepare for KAS exam...which subject i hv to choose...in the elective subjects list they gvn 30 subjects...any two i hv to choose na...but their is no subjects related to our branch...plz guide me in choosing subjects...is their any links related to KAS exam preparation..?
Thank You

Dear Deepika,
Thanks for visiting our website. We have visited your blogs also and it's pretty unique as every one else. Keep it up.

Dear Savitha,
It's nice to here that Engineering Students are also showing interest towards Administration. Though our education system and branches in Engineering have increased, our Good old Govt. and KPSC has not yet updated theirs.

So we can see only the traditional Engineering subjects like Mechanica, Electrical and Civil nothing else. But as of now what you can do is instead of focussing on engineering subjects, focus on the subjects that you are pretty interested and confortable studying yourself.

We are very sorry say this but have no option. If you are comfortable with core subjects like Mathematics, physics, kannada, English, Management etc you can choose from any two out of this.

But it's going to be bit difficult for you to prepare a new subject and appear for KAS exams. But nothing is impossible. As you are an Engineering student we guess you are pretty smart and intelligent and can take up any core subjects and with help of some guide, tution can make it in KAS. All the best.

trilok

hello, i have completed my post graduate diploma in business administration thru symbiosis centre for distance learning, is that considered as a degree using which i can apply for taking up the KAS exams?

Please let me know.

Thanks
Arathi

Hi
As you have done M.Sc in Sericulture you can take up Agriculture, Sericulture, Agricultural Marketing And Co-Operation as elective subject. Again it depends on how comfortable you are with preparation of the subject.

Hi Trilok,
It's not compulsory that you need to take tutions. If you have discipline and strong will to study by yourself. You can always do that. There are lot of guides on KAS is available. You can also buy some books and prepare yourself.

Hi Arti,
As per KPSC regulations Anyone who have completed Degree from recognized university can apply (it's 10+2+3 System) If you have done your PG without doing Degree your chances to apply is less. And check that whether Symbiosis is a ovt. UGC Recognised University or not.

You can always contact KPSC Officials through the phone number 080-30574908 (O)

If you have completed degree from any recognized university you are eligible for appearing in KAS Exam.

Alagappa University is recognized so you are eligible. (After you complete the degree course)

you can choose Management, Commerce, Accounting:, Business Organisation & Secretarial Practice, Economics, Karnataka Economy, Public Administration, Statistics, Rural Development etc. Which are quite relevant to your degree.

There is no compulsion that you have to take relevant subjects though it's easy for you to prepare.

but in mains kannada and english paper is a mandatory...hence can i choose the other paper in two selectives as kannada/english sir? plz reply for this sir

@Amisha

Refer How to Prepare for KAS Exam for detailed instructions and procedures of KAS Exam.

sir, in the kas mains....can i select 1 elective as kannada...and other elective as anthropology.....then i'll get paper 1 as kannada and 1 elective as kannada too...and other elective as anthropology......cause...in your website u have mentioned that kannada also an elective subject...hence i'm asking this question sir....plz do reply sir

kas(mains)
Paper 1 – Kannada (150 Marks)

Paper 2 – English (150 Marks)

Papers 3 & 4 – General Knowledge (300 Marks each)

Papers 5,6,7 & 8 : Four Papers on Two Elective Subjects (300 Marks each)

Yes. You are right there is two Kannada Subjects . One is compulsory Kannada another is Elective subject. You can choose that....

thank u for your response sir.....actually i have seen one of the persons marks card of the KAS Mains .....in that he has taken
Paper 1 - general studies 1
paper 2 - general studies 2
paper 3 - criminology 1
paper 4 - criminology 2
paper 5 - kannada 1
paper 6 - kannada 2

this was 2010 marks card of KAS MAINS
but in this i couldn't find 7th and 8th paper...and there is no 1 english paper, 1 compulsory kannada paper....
so i guess is there any change of syllabus pattern sir.....
i request u to check once the 2010 syllabus pattern sir

plz do reply sir

@Amisha
Compulsory Kannada (Sub Code : AA) & Compulsory English (Sub Code : BB) papers are for qualifying exams only. i.e The marks scored in this subjects will not be considered for KAS scoring so will not appear in the marks card. But scoring minimum marks in these two languages is a must inorder to be eligible for KAS.

Those who fail to pass in these two subjects will not be qualigied as KAS even though they do good in all other papers.

thanks alot for the information sir.....
sir i can find everywhere the syllabus for kas mains...but i could not able to find the syllabus for kas prelims...

Hi dear sir, I'm Kalpana.

I have completed BE in electronics and communication and currently working in IT firm. I have decided to take up the KAS exam seriously. It would really appreciated if you guide me on choosing the optional subjects.

Thanks,
Kalpana.

@ Kalpana
It's good you have decided to write KAS Exam. In Prelims there will be general paper, which is common to all. Once you pass through prelims then you can choose subjects for Main Exam. First you concentrate of clearing KAS (Prelims) Exam.

Today is last date for applying for KAS 2012 Exam. Hope you have already applied online for the same.

For Main Exam you need to think about subjects you are really good at & choose the subjects from the list. As Computer Science is not in the KAS Subject List. Think about your PU Subjects in which you were good at and choose accordingly.

Hi,i am manjunath. i completed mbbs and i am interested in kas..pls suggest which subjects to take

@ Manjunath
You can take Science Subjects like Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry, Veterinary Science etc. As Medicine is not there in the list of subjects.

Meanwhile KAS is implementing new syllabus for KAS. Refer KAS 2012 Syllabus for more details.

Hello sir ,am an ayurvedic post graduate doctor i want to appear KAS in 2013 , as we dnt have ayu subjects in commission so pls can u suggest me the subjects whch i can opt for exams...and suggest some good books to refer ..

KPSC has changed the Exam Pattern & Syllabus for KAS from 2012. Please refer New KAS Syllabus and Exam Pattern.

You can refer these KAS Books.

You can take any subject that is easy for you to prepare. There is no restrictions on choosing the subjects. You can choose basic science subjects like botany, chemistry or Psycology, zoology etc. Whichever subject you choose make sure you are comfortable with the subject beacuse you have to prepare on your own.

All the Best.
