58% Attendance In MPPSC Assistant Professor Exam 2025 Third Phase In Indore, 399 Posts Up For Grabs

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) concluded the third phase of the Assistant Professor Examination-2025 on Sunday, aiming to fill 399 positions across government colleges. The examination, which tested candidates on four subjects - History, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry - attracted 12,000 applicants, of whom 7,000 showed up, yielding an attendance rate of 58%.

The MPPSC implemented a rigorous three-tier verification process to maintain integrity, including admit card and photo ID checks, metal-detecting and biometric verification, and CCTV surveillance across the 30 examination centers. No instances of cheating were reported during the process. The first phase, covering General Studies, was administered from 10 am to 11 am, comprising 50 questions worth 150 marks.

The subsequent, subject-specific phase took place from 1 pm to 4 pm, featuring 100 questions valued at 300 marks, resulting in a cumulative exam total of 450 marks. The General Studies paper, with its 50 questions in an hour, evaluated both factual recall and conceptual grasp across history, geography, science, current events, and other domains.

The subject-specific paper, deemed crucial for selection, relied heavily on the depth of knowledge and precision in answering, as even minor mistakes could impact the final merit ranking. Education professional Aditya Mehta suggested that the papers were relatively straightforward, allowing candidates with strong factual knowledge to excel in General Studies and those with a solid grasp of fundamental concepts to perform well in the subject-specific segment.

As the results and merit list are awaited, candidates now eagerly anticipate the outcome that will determine their selection for the coveted 399 posts.
