The state is setting up a high-level panel; led by former Chief Secretary SV Ranganath; to overhaul its entire recruitment system. Why? Because 70,000 job posts are waiting to be filled, and the CM isn’t taking any chances. No more rumors. No more ghost candidates. No more leaks. Every exam will be video recorded. Coaching centers are under surveillance. Even mobile phones are banned for officials during exams. This isn’t just about filling vacancies; it’s about rebuilding trust. If Karnataka pulls this off, it could become the gold standard for public recruitment in India. And if it fails? Well, everyone’s watching.
