- One source reports a general age limit of 18-45 years — this appears wider than most posts, so please confirm from the official notification PDF before assuming eligibility
- Reserved category candidates (SC/ST/OBC/Category-I etc., per Karnataka Government norms) may get additional relaxation as per rules
- Age limit/relaxation may differ slightly between the RPC and KK notifications — check both separately
