The Maharashtra government has approved a one-year age relaxation for recruitment exams and proposed over 16,000 new vacancies for MPSC Group C positions.
The Maharashtra state government has officially approved a one-year age relaxation for upcoming recruitment examinations. This decision aims to provide additional opportunities to candidates who are slightly above the standard age limit for various government jobs.
In a significant move for aspirants, a government panel has proposed the creation of over 16,000 new vacancies under the MPSC Group C category. This expansion is intended to address the high demand for entry-level government positions in the state.
The move comes as the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) prepares for the Group C Combined Preliminary Examination 2026. Reports indicate that approximately 12 lakh candidates have already applied for this examination cycle.
While more than 5,000 vacancies were initially advertised for the 2026 preliminary exam, the new proposal for 16,000 additional posts signals a substantial increase in hiring plans for the state administration.
