KEA CAR/DAR Constable 2026 Question Paper Analysis

This analysis is based on the KEA CAR/DAR Constable 2026 examination after it was held.

Candidates who appeared for the exam describe the overall paper as easy to moderate, with Science and Technology, Geography, and Indian Constitution/Polity receiving noticeable representation. Reported trends from the paper show a strong presence of questions from Science and Technology, Geography, and Constitution/Polity, in line with patterns seen in earlier Karnataka Armed Police Constable papers such as the January 28, 2024 CAR/DAR paper.

History, Current Affairs, Mental Ability, and Economics also feature in the paper but carry comparatively lower weightage based on candidate feedback. The exact distribution can vary across shifts and sessions, so candidates should treat this as a general picture rather than an exact breakdown.

Mental Ability and direct factual GK questions are reported as among the quicker areas to attempt, while Science, Geography, and Polity questions with closely related options require more careful reading, according to candidates. Since candidates have only 90 minutes for 100 questions, speed and accuracy are important factors in today's paper.

Expected Difficulty Based on Previous Papers

Subject	Expected Difficulty
Science & Technology	Moderate
Geography	Moderate
Indian Constitution/Polity	Easy to Moderate
History	Easy to Moderate
Current Affairs	Moderate
Mental Ability	Easy to Moderate
Economics	Easy to Moderate
Overall	Easy to Moderate

KEA CAR/DAR Previous-Year Topic-wise Weightage

The following distribution is based on candidate feedback from CAR/DAR 2026 paper and reflects the general pattern reported so far, not an official weightage released by KEA.

Subject	Questions in Previous CAR/DAR Paper	Approx. Weightage
Science & Technology	33	33%
Geography	23	23%
Indian Constitution/Polity	15	15%
History	7	7%
General Knowledge/Others	7	7%
Current Affairs	6	6%
Mental Ability	5	5%
Economics	4	4%
Total	100	100%

Science & Technology, Geography and Polity together accounted for a major part of the previous CAR/DAR paper. However, candidates should not treat this distribution as fixed because Karnataka Police papers have shown noticeable year-to-year variation.
