FollowIn the aftermath of the recent Yadagiri KEA examination irregularities, new allegations of impropriety have surfaced within the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) examination, this time in Bengaluru, the state capital.
These allegations revolve around the KEA SDA (Second Division Assistant) exam, held at Jyoti Niwas College Degree Block in Koramangala on the 29th of the month.

During the examination, the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera, a critical component for ensuring transparency and preventing misconduct during competitive exams, was reportedly not operational. When students questioned the college staff about this issue, they were informed that the CCTV camera had been damaged.
This raises the question of why the status of the CCTV camera was not checked before the examination. Allegations strongly suggest that the CCTV camera was not genuinely damaged but was intentionally deactivated to facilitate irregularities during the exam.
