The process, which involved 4,047 candidates competing for 1,832 positions, concluded after a rigorous 45-day interview phase conducted by two panels. The final results, split into two parts, have now been released, with 87% of the positions accounted for in the first batch. The recruitment process began on 27 January, with candidates from diverse backgrounds applying for the roles. The interviews, held across Indore, were completed by 10 April, and the selection list was officially published on 9 May 2026. The first round of results includes 1,649 selected candidates, with 1,220 confirmed appointments and 186 placed on a waiting list. The remaining 13% of positions will be finalized in a subsequent phase, as per administrative guidelines. The distribution of selected candidates reflects the state’s reservation policies. Among the 1,649 appointments, 384 are from the general category, 225 from Scheduled Castes (SC), 642 from Scheduled Tribes (ST), 197 from Other Backward Classes (OBC), and 201 from Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). The MPPSC emphasized that the selection process adhered strictly to merit and reservation norms, ensuring equitable representation across demographics. The initiative is expected to significantly bolster healthcare infrastructure in the state. With a shortage of medical professionals in both urban and rural areas, the recruitment aims to address critical staffing gaps.#madhya_pradesh_public_service_commission #indore #rajendra_shukla #ravindra_panchbhai #mppscc_medical_officer_recruitment
MPPSC Exam New Rules: Negative Marking and 90-Minute Entry Requirements for 2026 The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) has introduced significant changes to its preliminary examination process for the 2026 recruitment cycle. These updates, effective from April 26, 2026, include stricter entry protocols, enhanced security measures, and the implementation of negative marking for incorrect answers. The changes aim to improve transparency, reduce malpractice, and ensure a fairer evaluation process for candidates. Candidates are now required to arrive at the exam center 90 minutes before the scheduled start time, a shift from the previous 45-minute buffer. This adjustment is part of a three-layer security protocol designed to prevent unauthorized entries and ensure the integrity of the examination. The first layer involves scanning the QR code on the admit card, which verifies the candidate’s details. The second layer includes biometric authentication, such as fingerprint and facial recognition, followed by a digital signature verification. The third layer involves a manual search and metal detector scan to prevent the entry of prohibited items. The new security measures have been implemented in response to concerns raised by organizations like the National Educated Youth Union (NEYU), which highlighted frequent incidents of malpractice during previous exams. These included unauthorized individuals sitting in exams, mismatched admit cards, and photo fraud. MPPSC officials stated that the changes were mandated to address these issues and ensure a secure environment for all candidates. Negative marking has also been introduced for the first time. For every incorrect answer, candidates will lose one-third of the marks allocated to the question.#madhya_pradesh_public_service_commission #national_educated_youth_union #mppscc_exam #state_service_exam #state_forest_service
Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission Introduces New Preliminary Exam Rules The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) has announced significant changes to its upcoming preliminary examination, set for April 26. The revised rules include a mandatory 90-minute early arrival for candidates, the introduction of negative marking for the first time, and a three-stage verification process to enhance security and transparency. Approximately 1.35 lakh candidates are registered for the exam, which will cover 191 posts across 54 districts of the state. The new guidelines require candidates to reach the exam centers 90 minutes before the scheduled start time, a shift from the previous 45-minute window. This adjustment aims to streamline the security checks and ensure smoother operations. The extended reporting time is linked to the three-stage verification process, which includes scanning the QR code on admit cards, biometric authentication, and physical frisking. Each candidate is expected to spend between five to seven minutes undergoing these checks, with entry gates closing 30 minutes before the exam begins. The three-stage verification process involves three key steps. First, the QR code on the admit card is scanned at the entry gate to confirm the candidate’s details. Second, biometric verification is conducted using eye scans, fingerprint recognition, facial analysis, and digital signature checks. Finally, a frisking procedure is carried out with metal detectors, followed by a manual inspection to prevent the entry of electronic devices or prohibited items into the exam hall. These measures are designed to deter impersonation, cheating, and other security breaches.#madhya_pradesh_public_service_commission #madhya_pradesh_board #mohanyadav #radhe_jat #mppsce_2025_exam
