The MPSC will introduce Computer-Based Tests for all preliminary examinations in phases, beginning with the Group C Services Combined Preliminary Examination 2026 for 2,619 vacancies. The reform aims to improve transparency, security and efficiency, while speeding up recruitment and conducting multiple exams each year.
Navi Mumbai, June 26: In a major overhaul of its recruitment process, the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has announced that all preliminary examinations will be conducted through a Computer-Based Test (CBT) system in a phased manner.
The transition will begin with the Maharashtra Group C Services Combined Preliminary Examination 2026, which will be conducted to fill 2,619 vacancies. MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar announced the decision during a press conference on Friday.
Bhimanwar said the move is part of a broader reform aimed at modernising the recruitment process and ensuring greater transparency, security, efficiency and speed in conducting examinations.
While all preliminary examinations will gradually shift to the CBT mode, the Main and final examinations will continue to be conducted in the conventional offline, pen-and-paper format.
