KSET 2025 Exam Overview

The Karnataka State Eligibility Test (KSET) is a state-level exam 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. It is conducted in accordance with University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, and the structure closely resembles that of the National Eligibility Test (NET).

KSET Exam Structure

The exam comprises two papers conducted in a single session:

• Paper I: General paper on teaching and research aptitude (common for all candidates).
• Paper II: Subject-specific paper chosen by the candidate.
  Both papers assess candidates’ analytical abilities, comprehension, teaching aptitude, and subject expertise.
