Pune: Maharashtra State Services Aspirants Seek Early Rescheduling Of Postponed Interviews

Pune: Many Maharashtra State Services aspirants who qualified post clearing the MPSC's 2025 State Services Main Examination are pleading for an expedited rescheduling of the postponed interviews. The interviews were originally set to commence on September 21 but have been delayed due to objections raised by a few candidates regarding the examination results.

The candidates who have progressed to the interview stage are apprehensive that this postponement could leave their careers in limbo after a year of rigorous preparation. While their initial demand was for rechecking only in exceptional cases, they now allege that this demand has been broadened to encompass a widespread re-evaluation of the entire examination.

Candidates are questioning the rationale behind such a blanket re-evaluation, particularly as the marks of those who qualified have not been disclosed. They also voice concerns about the normalization process, asserting that the descriptive examination pattern has been in effect since 2023. The aspirants have met with the Chief Minister, suggesting that the MPSC could conduct an independent examination of cases where official data reveals extreme anomalies, rather than a uniform re-evaluation.

Already preparing for mock interviews and final stage arrangements, candidates emphasize that the uncertainty surrounding interview dates is adding immense mental stress to their families. Sandhya Masur, an aspirant from Pune, expressed frustration: "I cleared the State Services Main Examination 2025 after four years of hard work.

My future should not be left in indefinite uncertainty due to the unreasonable demands of a few candidates. The interviews must be conducted as soon as possible and a final result declared without setting a wrong precedent."
