This notification clarifies and revises the maximum marks allocated for the interview process.

What Changed: Typist Interview Marks Revised
Previously, in the recruitment notification dated 09.02.2024 (No. ADM/126/2023), the maximum marks for the interview for the Typist post were mentioned as 05. The latest notification revises these marks to 10.
| Particulars | Earlier (as per 09.02.2024 Notification) | Revised (as per 20.12.2025 Notification) |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Marks for Interview (Typist Post) | 05 Marks | 10 Marks |
Reason for the Change
The revision in interview marks is based on the stipulations of the Karnataka Subordinate Courts (Ministerial and Other Posts) (Recruitment) (Amendment) Rules, 2007. According to these rules, the interview shall carry a maximum of 5% of the Written Examination (Qualifying Test) marks.
For the Typist post, the Qualifying Test comprises separate tests for Kannada and English Typing, each carrying 100 marks. Therefore, the total maximum marks for the Qualifying Test are 200 (100 for Kannada + 100 for English). Consequently, 5% of the maximum marks of the Qualifying Test (200) calculates to 10 marks (5% of 200 = 10). This aligns the recruitment process with the existing rules.
Action Required from Candidates
Candidates who have qualified for the interview for the Typist post or are scheduled to appear for it between 22.12.2025 to 24.12.2025 should be aware that their interview will now be evaluated out of a maximum of 10 marks, instead of the previously communicated 05 marks.
