Syllabus 
The KAS syllabus closely resembles the IAS syllabus. The KAS prelims test will be objective in nature, with two papers.
Prelims Syllabus KAS:

Prelims Syllabus for General Studies Paper 1

There would be a minimum qualifying grade of 33% for Paper II of the Combined Competitive Examination (Preliminary). The questions will be multiple-choice and objective in nature. For the purpose of assessment, the applicant must sit in both Papers of the Combined Competitive (Prelim) Examination. As a result, if a candidate does not present in both papers of the Combined Competitive (Preliminary) Examination, he or she will be disqualified.

Mains Syllabus KAS: The KAS main exam will consist of eight descriptive type papers.
Candidates should realise that, while the preliminary test is the first and most essential step, the KAS main exam, as the name implies, is the most important stage of the KAS exam. The final merit list is based on the marks obtained in the KAS main test. The syllabus for the KAS main test is fairly similar to that of the IAS major exam. According to the KAS announcement, "the Main Examination is meant to examine applicants' general intellectual qualities and depth of comprehension rather than just the extent of their learning and recollection."
