To curb the menace of fake certificates and facilitate document verification, for the first time the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has decided to distribute e-certificates to those who have qualified in the Karnataka State Eligibility Test (KSET), which is mandatory for the post of Assistant Professor in government, aided and unaided degree colleges.
Henceforth, candidates who have qualified in the KSET exam can download the e-certificate through the KEA website instead of going to the KEA office for the certificate.
Mysore University is leading the KSET every year and the KEA is the examination authority since 2022. It also distributes the certificates to the eligible candidates. However, there have been incidents of some candidates using fake certificates despite not qualifying in the KSET exam to get jobs. To prevent such incidents, the KEA has decided to issue e-certificates instead of physical certificates from this year.
