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
