Bangalore: The Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) on Monday issued an official notification for the recruitment of Land Surveyors to support land administration and mapping operations across the state. The commission has opened an online application window through its designated portal, urging candidates meeting the prescribed qualifications to submit their forms within the stipulated timeframe.
According to the advertisement, a total of several hundred vacancies are expected to be filled under this recruitment drive, though the exact number will be finalized after verification of applications. The posts fall under the Revenue Department and involve field surveys, boundary demarcation, and preparation of land records—critical functions for effective governance and dispute resolution related to property matters.
Candidates must possess a degree in Surveying, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, or an equivalent discipline recognized by the Government of Karnataka. Age relaxation is applicable for reserved categories as per state rules. The selection process will consist of a written examination followed by document verification, with the exam date to be announced subsequently.
The commission has emphasized that applicants must ensure all uploaded documents are authentic and legible, as disqualification may follow if any discrepancy is found during scrutiny. The official notification also provides links to download the application form, fee structure, and detailed prospectus.
This recruitment comes at a time when the state government is actively modernizing its land record systems, integrating digital mapping with traditional survey practices. Experienced professionals and fresh graduates alike are encouraged to apply, as the role offers both field exposure and opportunities for career progression within the state civil services.
