Karnataka Examinations Authority Recruitment 2026: Apply for 258 Agricultural Officer & Assistant Agricultural Officer Posts

This role is most suitable for graduates holding a B.Sc. or B.Tech degree in Agriculture or related fields, aspiring for a stable Group-B position within the Karnataka State Department of Agriculture.
