The written exam for 70 Special Reserve Sub Inspector posts has been scheduled on December 18, with Paper I from 11 am to 12 pm, and Paper II from 2 pm to 3:30 pm, both of which will be held across 12 exam centres in the Karnataka capital.
This comes after the police sub-inspector (PSI) recruitment exams for 545 posts held in October last year, results of which were scrapped after it was uncovered that several candidates had exercised fraudulent methods and malpractices to score well. The CID is in the process of investigating the scam, and more than 50 people including high-ranking IPS officers have been arrested so far.
