What Is the KEA VAO Score List 2026 (Comparative Marks)?
The KEA VAO Score List 2026 is an official document titled “Comparative Score Analysis of Top 5000 Village Administrative Officer Candidates and Other Similar Examinations”, published by the Karnataka Examinations Authority on 3 November 2026. It lists the examination marks of the top 5,000 VAO candidates alongside their available scores from other related recruitment tests conducted by KEA.
The document contains a consolidated table with VAO Paper 1 marks, Paper 2 marks, and total score out of 200 for each listed candidate. Where the same candidate also appeared in Land Surveyor, KSRP, CAR & DAR, or Civil Police Constable examinations, their scores from those tests are also shown — but only where records are available. A dash (—) in a column means no corresponding record was found for that candidate in that particular examination.
This score list is distinct from the district-wise final score lists released on 1 November 2026, which showed individual candidate scores by district for the main VAO recruitment. This comparative document focuses specifically on the top 5,000 VAO scorers and cross-references their performance in similar Karnataka government examinations.

Which Examinations Are Covered in the KEA VAO Comparative Score PDF?
The comparative score analysis covers five recruitment examinations. VAO and Land Surveyor scores are recorded on a 200-mark scale, while the remaining three examinations are on a 100-mark scale. Candidates should not directly compare numeric scores across examinations without accounting for the different maximum marks.
| Examination | Marks Scale | Score Details Available |
|---|---|---|
| Village Administrative Officer (VAO) | 200 | Paper 1, Paper 2 and Total Score |
| Land Surveyor | 200 | Paper 1, Paper 2 and Total Score |
| Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) | 100 | RPC and KK Examination Scores (where available) |
| CAR & DAR | 100 | RPC and KK Examination Scores (where available) |
| Civil Police Constable | 100 | RPC and KK Examination Scores (where available) |
Important: Not every VAO candidate in the list will have records for all five examinations. Where a candidate did not appear in a particular test, the corresponding column shows a dash. The document does not indicate that every listed VAO candidate also appeared in the police or Land Surveyor examinations.

Is the KEA VAO Top 5000 List a Final Merit List?
The document published on 3 November 2026 is officially titled a Comparative Score Analysis — it is not a new final merit list, selection list, or appointment order. Its stated purpose is to present VAO examination marks for the top 5,000 candidates alongside available scores from other related examinations for comparative reference.
KEA separately published district-wise VAO final score lists on 1 November 2026 for the main VAO recruitment process covering 572 vacancies under Advertisement No. KEA/PD/VAO/2026/01. Those district-wise lists — available at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in — are the official documents used to determine who proceeds to document verification (DV) and final appointment in the Karnataka Revenue Department.
Candidates seeking their district-wise score details or updates on the document verification schedule should check the official KEA notices rather than relying solely on this comparative document. For complete recruitment details, eligibility, and pay scale, see the KEA VAO Result 2026 provisional score list guide.
