JMFC Prelims: MPSC postpones Civil Judge and JMFC preliminary exams; new dates to be released soon..

MPSC-JMFC Exam Date Postponed (2026): The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has postponed the preliminary examination for the post of Civil Judge (Junior Division) and Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC). The exam was originally scheduled for August 2, 2026. The Commission announced this decision via an official notice issued on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.

Why was the exam postponed?
According to the official notification, the deadline for submitting applications had been extended. The decision to postpone the preliminary exam was made precisely because the application window was extended. The Commission has clarified that the new exam dates will be announced separately in the near future.

Major error in the notification
A surprising typographical error has also come to light in the notice issued by MPSC. In the official order issued on July 7, 2026, the year was mistakenly written as 2025 instead of 2026. However, students are interpreting it as pertaining to the exam for the current year.

Disappointment among candidates
This decision has come as a major blow to thousands of candidates who had been preparing day and night for months, adhering to the August 2 schedule. The postponement has led to disappointment among the students. Candidates have now also begun demanding greater transparency in the examination process.
