The examination may use CBT or offline OMR mode. Each wrong answer attracts a 0.25-mark deduction. In OMR mode, unanswered questions require the fifth option to be shaded; leaving every option blank also attracts a 0.25-mark deduction.

Candidates need at least 35% in the competitive examination. The Kannada test is scheduled for 8 January 2027, from 3.00 PM to 5.00 PM, and requires 50 out of 150 marks. Its marks do not count towards selection. Eligible candidates who studied Kannada as a first or second language at SSLC level or above are exempt.
