Classified against Karnataka Recruitment of Gazetted Probationers (Appointment by Competitive Examinations) (9th Amendment) Rules, 2011 — Notification No. DPAR 14 SRR 2011, dated 28-09-2011, Government of Karnataka, substituting Schedule II ‘A. Preliminary Examination’ (Part-A ‘Syllabi for the Examination’). This is KPSC's standing Preliminary Examination syllabus; it governs the 2017-18 notification cycle's Prelims (held 24-08-2020, subject codes 388/389) because no later amendment (11th Amdt. 2014, 2019, 2020, or 2022) touched Schedule II Section-I Part-A — those amendments only revised Main Examination papers and Personality Test marks. The scheme table in the same notification (2 papers x 100 questions x 200 marks) matches this dataset's 100 GS + 100 GS-II question split exactly. (source).
