Major reform in the mains examination

Along with the recruitment notification, MPSC has also announced a major change in the Maharashtra State Services Main Examination. As per a separate press release issued on June 25, 2026, the commission has decided to remove the optional subject papers from the Maharashtra State Services Main Examination from the 2027 examination cycle onwards.

Currently, candidates appearing for the Maharashtra Civil Services (Gazetted Group A and Group B) Main Examination are required to write two papers in an optional subject. This requirement will be discontinued from 2027 to bring Maharashtra's examination pattern in line with several other states that have already abolished optional subjects.

Uniformity with other states

According to MPSC, states including Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have already adopted a similar examination pattern. The commission stated that the revised format aims to streamline the examination process and ensure greater uniformity and standardisation in candidate evaluation.
