The KEA Land Surveyor Provisional Result for the Residual Parent Cadre (RPC), also described as Rest of Karnataka, is available. KEA published candidates’ provisional marks on 9 October 2026, the same day it issued revised key answers for the competitive examination held on 2 October 2026. Candidates who believe there is an error in their provisional result can submit an objection online with supporting documents before 11:00 AM on 11 October 2026.
This update applies to the RPC cadre only. The notice does not cover the Kalyana-Karnataka cadre, and it does not specify the next selection stage or when it will take place. Check the notice on KEA’s official portal for the correct result access and objection instructions before taking action. The objection window is short, so candidates who intend to raise a concern should review the notice and supporting information promptly.
KEA Land Surveyor Provisional Result 2026: key details
| Event | Details |
|---|---|
| Recruiting authority | Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), for the Survey Settlement and Land Records Department |
| Post | Land Surveyor (Bhoomapakaru) |
| Cadre covered by this result notice | Residual Parent Cadre (RPC), or Rest of Karnataka |
| RPC examination date | 2 October 2026 |
| Revised key answers published | 9 October 2026 |
| Provisional marks published | 9 October 2026 |
| Deadline for result objections | Before 11:00 AM on 11 October 2026 |
| Application status | Closed; applications ran from 11 July to 7 August 2026 |
The result notice and the revised key-answer information are related but serve different purposes. The revised answers are the reference KEA published after the earlier answer-key objection process. The provisional marks are the marks published for RPC candidates. The current notice permits objections to the provisional result under its stated conditions; it does not reopen the earlier opportunity to challenge the key answers.
How to check your RPC marks and raise an objection
Use KEA’s official portal to locate the Land Surveyor RPC provisional result notice and the result-checking facility it identifies. Follow the instructions in that notice rather than relying on an old link, an earlier answer-key notice or an unofficial result page. The available notice details do not state a fee for an objection to the provisional result. When checking the KEA Land Surveyor Provisional Result, confirm that the notice and result information relate to RPC.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the official KEA website and find the Land Surveyor RPC provisional result notice. |
| 2 | Use the result link or instructions in the notice to check your marks. Keep the relevant candidate and examination details ready. |
| 3 | Compare your marks with the revised key answers for the correct paper and version code. |
| 4 | If you believe your provisional result contains an error, submit an objection through the result-objection link specified by KEA. |
| 5 | Attach supporting documents and submit the objection before 11:00 AM on 11 October 2026. Keep a copy of your submission for your records. |
When reviewing the marks, first make sure that you are looking at the notice and result information for RPC. Then identify the relevant paper and version code before comparing answers with the revised key. This helps avoid basing a concern on a different paper or key version. If the discrepancy remains, describe the result issue clearly and attach the evidence required by KEA’s notice. The supplied information does not set out a particular document format or a separate result-objection fee, so consult the live notice for any instructions on those points.
Important: KEA states that objections without supporting documents will not be considered. The notice also says objections against the key answers are not being accepted at this stage. The earlier answer-key objection window has closed. Do not treat a result objection as a way to reopen that process.
What can be objected to now?
| Objection type | KEA position in the notice |
|---|---|
| Objection to your provisional result, with supporting documents | Accepted online until 11:00 AM on 11 October 2026 |
| Objection to the provisional result without supporting documents | Will not be considered |
| Objection against the key answers | Not accepted at this stage |
This distinction matters for candidates checking the KEA Land Surveyor Provisional Result. The notice provides a limited route to raise a concern about the provisional result, subject to the evidence requirement and closing time. It does not state that every submission will lead to a change in marks, nor does it give a result-objection fee in the available details. Submit only through the route identified by KEA and retain proof of submission if the portal provides it.
Revised answer key: what candidates should know
KEA released provisional keys for Paper 1 and Paper 2 for the RPC examination held on 2 October 2026. Candidates could challenge those keys during an earlier objection period. After reviewing submissions, the subject expert committee determined revised key answers, which KEA published on 9 October along with the provisional marks.
| Answer-key event | Details |
|---|---|
| Examination | 2 October 2026, RPC |
| Provisional keys | Paper 1 and Paper 2; published on 2 October 2026 |
| Earlier key-objection deadline | 5 October 2026 at 10:30 AM; closed |
| Earlier objection fee | ₹25 per objection, non-refundable |
| Revised key answers | Published on 9 October 2026 after expert review |
The ₹25 charge applied to the earlier answer-key objection process. It should not be assumed to apply to an objection against the provisional result. Likewise, the earlier key-objection deadline is not the deadline for the current result-objection process. Follow the current result notice for the applicable route, evidence requirements and submission time.
Recruitment snapshot: 750 Surveyor vacancies
The 2026 recruitment was for Surveyor (Group C) posts under the Survey Settlement and Land Records Department. Applications are closed. The vacancy and category figures below are recruitment context for candidates following this result update; they do not change the cadre covered by the current notice.
| Cadre or category | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Rest of Karnataka | 560 |
| Kalyana-Karnataka (Article 371J) | 190 |
| Total | 750 |
| General Merit | 375 |
| SC (A + B + C) | 112 |
| ST | 23 |
| Category 1 | 31 |
| Category 2A | 112 |
| Category 2B | 30 |
| Category 3A | 29 |
| Category 3B | 38 |
The category totals are shown as stated in the recruitment information. The total number of vacancies is 750, divided between 560 posts for Rest of Karnataka and 190 for Kalyana-Karnataka. Although both cadres formed part of the recruitment information, the current provisional result notice is for RPC only. It does not announce a result for Kalyana-Karnataka, so candidates in that cadre should not treat this RPC update as confirmation of their own result status.
Eligibility, age limit and pay scale
Educational qualification
The recruitment information listed the following qualification routes. Applicants needed a qualification from a recognised university or institution, as applicable:
- An engineering degree in any branch or an A.M.I.E. qualification in an engineering discipline.
- A B.Sc. degree in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Information Technology, Instrumentation, Electronics and Communication, or Agriculture.
- A diploma in Engineering or Technology in any branch from an AICTE-approved institution.
These are qualification routes stated for the recruitment, not new eligibility instructions for checking the result or submitting an objection. Candidates referring back to their application should consult the original recruitment notification for the detailed conditions that applied to their qualification and institution. The provisional result update does not announce a fresh application period.
Age limit
The minimum age was 18 years on the application closing date. The maximum ages below include the one-time five-year relaxation stated for this recruitment.
| Category | Maximum age |
|---|---|
| General Merit | 40 years |
| Categories 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B | 43 years |
| SC, ST and Category 1 | 45 years |
Additional age relaxation was stated for ex-servicemen, candidates with disabilities, widows and in-service employees under Karnataka rules. The applicable conditions can depend on the relevant category and rules. Candidates should refer to the official notification for those conditions rather than infer an individual age entitlement from the summary figures alone.
Salary
The notified pay scale was ₹37,500–₹76,100 per month, with a starting basic pay of ₹37,500. Allowances and service conditions are governed by Karnataka government rules. The recruitment information also stated that selected candidates would be on a two-year probation with mandatory training and covered under the National Pension System (NPS). These are recruitment terms and do not indicate a date or outcome for the next selection stage.
Selection process and examination details
The stated selection process included a written competitive examination and a qualifying Kannada language examination for candidates who had not studied Kannada in SSLC. The examination information below gives context for the recruitment and for identifying the papers referenced in the revised-key notice. It does not add a new requirement to the current result-objection process.
| Examination component | Details stated for the recruitment |
|---|---|
| Paper 1: General Knowledge | 100 questions, 100 marks and two hours. Topics included current affairs, the Constitution of India, Karnataka history and geography, rural development and general awareness. |
| Paper 2: Specific Paper | 100 questions, 100 marks and two hours. Topics included Mathematics, Physics, Geography, surveying methods such as GPS, GIS and remote sensing, and computer applications. |
| Negative marking and qualifying score | The recruitment details stated a deduction of 0.25 marks for a wrong answer and for an unanswered question where the fifth circle was not shaded. A 35% qualifying threshold was also stated. |
| Kannada language examination | For candidates who had not studied Kannada in SSLC: 150 marks, with 50 marks required to pass. The result was qualifying and not counted for merit. |
For a marks review, use the correct paper and version code when consulting the revised key answers. The recruitment-level details do not replace the instructions in the result notice. Follow subsequent KEA announcements for information about any next stage, its requirements or its schedule; the provisional result notice itself does not specify those details.

Common mistakes to avoid when checking the result
- Waiting until the last minute: the stated deadline is before 11:00 AM on 11 October 2026. If you intend to object, allow time to follow the portal instructions and attach the supporting documents.
- Leaving out evidence: the notice says objections without supporting documents will not be considered. Check your submission before sending it.
- Using the old key-objection route: key-answer objections are closed and are not accepted through the current result-objection window.
- Mixing up cadres: this provisional result update covers RPC, not Kalyana-Karnataka.
- Comparing the wrong key version: check the paper and version code when reviewing answers against the revised key.
- Assuming a result-objection fee: the details available do not state a fee for this process. Do not assume the earlier ₹25 key-objection fee applies.
- Assuming a next-stage date: the result notice does not specify the next stage or its schedule. Wait for an official KEA announcement.
- Relying on an old or unofficial link: use the current KEA notice to confirm the correct result and objection links.

Final takeaway
KEA published RPC Land Surveyor provisional marks and revised key answers on 9 October 2026. Candidates who identify a result discrepancy can submit an online objection with supporting documents before 11:00 AM on 11 October. The key-answer objection window has closed, and this result update does not cover Kalyana-Karnataka. Check KEA’s official portal for the notice and its instructions, and do not assume a next-stage date until KEA announces one. The KEA Land Surveyor Provisional Result notice is the controlling source for the current result-objection route and deadline.
