Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) postpones the State Services Main Examination 2026 after receiving protests and representations from candidates and other stakeholders. The decision follows concerns raised by aspirants, including allegations relating to the examination process and possible irregularities, and objections about how previous examinations were evaluated.
MPSC says it is reviewing the examination system through a high-level committee, with the aim of implementing best practices. In addition to postponing the 2026 exam, the commission orders re-evaluation of answer sheets for the State Services Main Examination 2025, based on the objections submitted by students. NDTV reports that the commission cites representations from students, parents, student organisations and some elected representatives as the basis for postponement, while Times of India also highlights candidate allegations, including fears of a question paper leak and concerns about the evaluation process. The commission’s steps indicate it is addressing both the timing of the 2026 exam and contested evaluation outcomes for 2025.
