NEW TECHNOLOGIES ADOPTED TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS
BAR CODING:
Karnataka Public Service Commission holds number of Competitive Examinations in the
process of making the selections to various posts in the government. The Commission over the
years has endeavored to evolve a fool proof system to ensure confidentiality and sanctity of the
examination. Main challenge in this regard has been to safeguard the confidentiality of
candidates answer scripts in order to prevent foul play.
The Commission depended on manual coding and decoding of answer scripts at the time of
valuation of answer scripts. Now the Commission has adopted Barcode which is an encrypted
form and a fool proof tool to ensure confidentiality of answer scripts. This adoption of latest
electronic data processing system in all the examinations has enhanced the credibility of the
Commission.
26
SCANNING OF APPLICATIONS:
The Commission receives a very large number of applications from the candidates to
participate in the competitive examinations conducted for selection of candidates to various
posts. The process of selection of the candidate to various posts has to be completed in a time
bound manner. Competitive examination for selection of Gazetted Probationers in the State is a
prestigious examination and more than a lakh of candidates apply to participate in the
examination. Similar competitive examination for clerical cadres attracts huge number of
applications. The Commission has adopted Intelligent Character Recognization(ICR)
Technology to scan the applications and as a result the time taken for data processing has been
reduced drastically.
ON-LINE EXAMINATION:-
With the advancements taking place in communication and networking technologies,

virtual campuses have become a reality. An individual need not travel a long distance to write
an examination. Candidates can be able to write examinations at a time of their choice.
Taking advantage of latest technologies KPSC has a proposal to conduct on-line

examinations. The candidate would be able to attend the examination at ease and get the results
on the spot. As a first step in this direction KPSC has replaced the existing descriptive type of
examination with OMR type for major subjects of Dept. Examination 2005 – I session on an
experimental basis and has plans to adopt on –line examination in stages.
Based on the experience that would be gained in conducting on-line examination in

respect of departmental examinations, efforts would be made to introduce on-line examination
for recruitments also.
