The positions being offered are for the Driver category, which is one of the most crucial roles in any transport corporation as these professionals are directly responsible for passenger safety, comfort, and timely service delivery.

The walk-in interview is scheduled for 3rd and 4th February 2026, during which eligible candidates need to appear in person with all original documents and certificates for verification. The age limit for this recruitment is set between 24 to 40 years, providing opportunity to both experienced drivers in their prime working years as well as relatively younger candidates who have completed the mandatory training and licensing requirements. Selected candidates will be offered salary as per the minimum wage applicable in Karnataka for drivers in government transport corporations, along with other benefits such as Provident Fund, ESI, leave entitlements, and other statutory benefits. The work involves operating buses on assigned routes, ensuring passenger safety, maintaining punctuality, conducting daily vehicle inspections, maintaining driving logs, and adhering to traffic rules and corporation guidelines. This is a regular/permanent position with job security and career growth prospects within the corporation. KKRTC, being a government organization, provides a stable working environment, defined working hours, and employee welfare schemes.
