Three major exams postponed in Maharashtra; find out when the new dates will be announced..
Amidst the uproar surrounding paper leaks and other issues, the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has decided to postpone three major examinations. The Commission took this step in light of the risk of paper leaks. These exams will remain postponed until the entire system is rectified and the candidates' confidence is restored. Candidates had been continuously protesting and demanding a postponement following irregularities in the MPSC's Drug Inspector examination.
**MPSC Exams Postponed:**
Maharashtra State Services Main Examination 2026
Maharashtra Civil Engineering Services Main Examination 2026
Maharashtra Group-B (Non-Gazetted) Main Examination 2026
**When will new dates be announced?**
The MPSC has not yet announced when these examinations will be held. It is currently believed that a new schedule will be released only after an investigation into the various issues is concluded. This process could take approximately one month. The exams have been deferred for the time being to address the apprehensions of the students.
**Re-evaluation of Answer Sheets**
Following complaints from students, parents, and public representatives, the Commission has decided to re-evaluate the answer sheets from the 2025 Main Examination. Students had raised questions regarding the evaluation process, prompting a re-examination of the papers. Consequently, the entire recruitment process is facing delays.
**Uproar Over Drug Inspector Recruitment**
The recruitment process for Drug Inspectors in Maharashtra took place in March of this year; it was largely completed by August, and candidates were awaiting their joining letters. However, reports of a paper leak emerged, revealing that the question paper had indeed been compromised two days prior to the exam. Subsequently, the examination was cancelled. Similar concerns are now being raised regarding other examinations conducted by the Commission.
