MP News: MPPSC Releases Tentative Exam Schedule For 2026

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) on Monday released a tentative schedule for upcoming recruitment examinations even though recruitment advertisements for vacant posts in various government departments are still awaited.

While the announcement of proposed exam dates has helped new candidates plan their preparation strategies, it has disappointed those who have already cleared written examinations and have been waiting for interviews for a long time.

Candidates selected in the written exams for posts such as Assistant Professor, Dental Surgeon, Mining Officer and Assistant Director in the Culture Department have expressed concern over the prolonged delay in interview schedules. They claim that despite waiting for several months, no clear information has been provided by MPPSC so far.
