The Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) Exam (officially known as the Gazetted Probationers Exam) is conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).
KPSC recruits for Group A and Group B vacancies in the executive branch of the state government via the KAS Exam.
An essential and often overlooked part of KAS preparation is going through the Previous Years’ Question Papers. The KPSC question paper can help candidates ascertain not just the difficulty level of the KAS exam but also the amount of preparatory effort needed.
In this article, we are giving the previous years’ papers PDFs. From the links below, you can directly navigate to the desired exam year.

The KAS Exam Pattern changed from 2011 Mains onwards and has become more aligned to the UPSC IAS exam pattern. Earlier, there used to be only two General Studies Papers in KAS Mains. Now, there are four GS papers.

- KAS Prelims
- Two papers – objective type (MCQs)

For KAS Prelims preparation, solving MCQs is important because losing marks in the actual exam because of negative marking can be the difference between success and failure.
The theory papers in Mains require a lot of answer-writing practice beforehand. The requisite knowledge and the skill of writing to-the-point answers in the exam comes from practice. Also, writing 2000-3000 words in three hours is no mean feat and it takes a toll on the handwriting of candidates as well. Simulating the exam environment is a good way to prepare for the gruelling exam.
