Major Reform Announced for Maharashtra State Services Main Examination

Alongside the Group C recruitment notification, MPSC has also announced a significant change to the Maharashtra State Services Main Examination. As per a press release issued on June 25, 2026, the Commission has decided to remove optional subject papers from the Maharashtra State Services Main Examination starting from the 2027 examination cycle.

At present, 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 align Maharashtra's examination pattern with several other states that have already abolished optional subjects.

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