Zero year for engineering services: Year 2019 turned out to be zero year for engineer services exam. The MPPSC had last year announced to hold engineering service exam-2019 in April but due to general elections the exam could not be held. Later, the reservation issue put the exam on back burner. The MPPSC has now announced it would hold engineering service exam-2020 in April.
