एमपीएससीच्या परीक्षा सातत्याने पुढे ढकलण्यामुळे वर्षानुवर्षे त्यासाठी तयारी करणार्या असंख्य विद्यार्थ्यांचे मोठ्या प्रमाणात आर्थिक आणि मानसिक खच्चीकरण होते आहे. त्यामुळे परीक्षेला स्थगिती देण्याचा निर्णय तत्काळ रद्द करावा! #MPSC @CMOMaharashtra

The MPSC has postponed the State Service Preliminary exam a couple of times. It has postponed the MPSC State Service Prelims Exam in April 2020 due to the nationwide lockdown. The Commission has postponed the exam scheduled on October 11 due to the aggressive stance taken by the Maratha organisation due to the Maratha reservation issue.
