KPSC KAS Admit Card 2026 Out for 15 Nov Prelims Exam

The KPSC KAS Admit Card 2026 is out. The Karnataka Public Service Commission put the hall ticket link live on its website for the Gazetted Probationers Preliminary Examination, and the exam is on Sunday, 15 November 2026. The recruitment covers 319 Group A and Group B posts under Notification No. KPSCKA/EXA1/EXMF/9/2026-EXAM-1/I/251710/2026, dated 31 July 2026.

There is no direct PDF link for the admit card. You download it after logging in to the KPSC online portal at kpsconline.karnataka.gov.in. The login asks for your Enrollment Number, mobile number or email ID, then your password, then an OTP sent to your registered mobile number, plus a captcha.

KPSC KAS Admit Card 2026 at a glance

The login details most sites get wrong

Several job sites tell candidates to download the KPSC KAS admit card with a registration number and a security pin. That is not what the official portal asks for. The login page offers three identifiers, Enrollment Number, Mobile Number or Email ID, and then asks for a password, an OTP and a captcha. There is no field called registration number and no security pin anywhere on the page.

The distinction matters because a candidate who keeps looking for a security pin will waste time on exam week. Use the Enrollment Number from your application, or the mobile number or email ID you registered with. The OTP goes to your registered mobile number, so keep that phone with you when you log in.

If you changed your number after applying, sort that out with the Commission before the exam day, because the portal has no other way to send you the OTP.

What the exam day looks like

The Preliminary Examination runs in two shifts on one day. Paper I runs from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Paper II from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Both papers fall on Sunday, 15 November 2026, and the timings come from the official timetable the Commission published for the Gazetted Probationers 2026-27 prelims.

This is the preliminary stage only. The Commission has not announced the mains dates in the hall ticket notice, and the admit card itself is only for the 15 November prelims. Report to your centre well before the first paper starts, because the instructions on the admit card govern entry, and a candidate without a valid admit card is not allowed into the examination hall under any circumstances.

How to download the hall ticket

Open kpsconline.karnataka.gov.in and go to the login page. Pick one identifier, your Enrollment Number, your registered mobile number or your registered email ID, and enter your password. Tap Get OTP, enter the code sent to your registered mobile number, fill in the captcha and submit.

Your KAS Prelims admit card appears on screen. Download the PDF and print it.

Check four things the moment it opens. Your name and roll number, your examination centre, the date and shift timings, and your photograph and signature. If any of these is wrong, contact the Commission at once rather than waiting for the exam morning.

The press note adds one detail that affects a small group of candidates. If you are bringing your own scribe, download the scribe admission ticket along with your own hall ticket.

The CAT 2026 admit cards also opened this week, and the details sit in the CAT 2026 Admit Card post on this site. The GSSSB MPHW admit card is out too, for an exam on 18 and 19 November, covered in the GSSSB MPHW Admit Card 2026 post here.
