Madhya Pradesh State Services Main Examination 2022 Postponed

The Madhya Pradesh State Services Main Examination 2022 has been postponed by nearly two months following announcement of the schedule for the state assembly elections. The examination will now be held from December 26 to December 31.

The Madhya Pradesh State Services Main Examination 2022, which was scheduled to begin on October 30 and continue till November 4, has been postponed by nearly two months following the announcement of the schedule for the state assembly elections.

New Exam Dates

The examination will now be held from December 26 to December 31, said an official of the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC).

Reason for Postponement

The decision to postpone the examination was taken after considering the availability of examination centres and security arrangements in view of the announcement of the schedule for the state assembly elections by the Election Commission.

Number of Candidates

Around 13,000 candidates, who were successful in the state services preliminary examination, will appear in the main test.

More Time to Prepare

With the main examination getting pushed ahead, candidates will get more time to prepare for it.

Model Code of Conduct

The model code of conduct came into force when the Election Commission announced the schedule for the assembly polls on October 9. According to the schedule, polling for the 230-member state assembly will be held in a single phase on November 17, while the counting of votes is slated for December 3.

Protest by Tribal Youths

Meanwhile, the Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti (JAYS), an organisation of tribal youths, organised a students convention in the city to protest against the alleged delay in holding the state government's recruitment examinations.

The state government has made it a policy to first issue advertisements for vacant government posts and later cancel the recruitment process, JAYS national worker pracharak Sahib Singh Kalam said.

The postponement of the Madhya Pradesh State Services Main Examination 2022 has given candidates more time to prepare for the exam. However, it has also raised concerns about the state government's recruitment process.
