The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has extended the deadline for submitting online applications for recruitment of Civil Police Constable posts to July 8. Eligible candidates can apply for the Karnataka Police Constable Civil posts through the official website at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

The decision to extend the last date to submit online application form was taken after some candidates submitted requests to the KEA, expressing their failure to submit their applications within the stipulated period due to various reasons, as per the official notification.

Interested candidates requested the authority to be allowed to edit the details in the application as they have entered incorrect information in the Karnataka Police Civil Constable applications already submitted, it said.
