About KSET
The Karnataka State Eligibility Test (KSET) is a state-level examination conducted by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) to determine the eligibility of candidates for the post of Assistant Professor in universities and colleges across Karnataka.
The exam is similar to the National Eligibility Test (NET) but is conducted specifically for institutions within Karnataka. It assesses candidates’ teaching and research aptitude in various subjects.
KSET includes two papers:
Paper I: General paper on teaching and research aptitude, common for all candidates.
Paper II: Subject-specific paper chosen by the candidate.
Those who qualify in KSET are eligible to apply for Assistant Professor roles in Karnataka’s government, aided, and private colleges as per University Grants Commission (UGC) norms.
The exam is typically conducted once a year across multiple centres in different districts of the state.
