The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has officially announced a major recruitment drive for the year 2026, inviting applications for a total of 571 vacancies spread across Group A and Group B categories. The notification marks one of the most significant hiring exercises conducted by the state commission in recent years and is expected to draw millions of candidates from across Maharashtra and other states.
Under this recruitment cycle, the MPSC has opened posts under both Group A and Group B classifications. Group A positions are generally senior-level roles that require candidates to clear the prestigious MPSC Competitive Examination, which is conducted in three stages — the Preliminary examination, the Main written examination, and the Personality Test or Interview. These posts include administrative services, sub-collector roles, police officer positions, and other leadership-level government appointments.
Group B positions, on the other hand, typically involve clerical, supervisory, and technical roles within various departments of the state government. These posts often have separate selection criteria and may not always require candidates to appear for the main MPSC competitive exam, depending on the specific post.
Candidates who wish to apply must visit the official MPSC website at mpsc.gov.in and register themselves as new users. The online application process involves filling out personal details, educational qualifications, category information, and uploading required documents such as photographs, signatures, and certificates. Applicants are advised to complete the form well before the deadline and make the requisite application fee payment through the available online modes.
Eligibility for these posts requires candidates to hold a bachelor's degree from a recognized university for most Group A and Group B positions, though certain technical posts may ask for specialized qualifications. Age limits vary by category, with relaxations provided to candidates belonging to reserved categories as per Maharashtra state government norms.
The MPSC has urged interested aspirants to keep checking the official notification and website for updates regarding exam dates, admit card release, and any changes to the application process. With thousands of eligible candidates expected to apply, timely submission of forms remains critical.
