<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) is changing how candidates will take its preliminary examinations. From the upcoming recruitment cycle, all preliminary exams will be conducted through the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, with the Commission also promising quicker results and a shorter recruitment timeline.Announcing the decision on Friday, MPSC Chairman Vivek Bhimanwar said the move is part of a broader effort to reduce delays that candidates have faced for years.<\/p>\n Bhimanwar said the Commission now plans to declare preliminary examination results within 21 days. He pointed to the recently announced State Services Preliminary Examination results, which were declared in 22 days.“The Commission will now strive to announce the results of all preliminary examinations within 21 days,” he said, IANS<\/span> reports.The Commission has also set a target of completing the entire recruitment process within the same calendar year in which the examination is held.According to Bhimanwar, recruitment for posts involving interviews will be completed within nine to 11 months, while posts that require only a written examination will be filled within six to seven months.“This will provide greater certainty to candidates and reduce uncertainty regarding their careers,” he said.<\/p>\n The Commission clarified that the shift to CBT applies only to preliminary examinations. The Main Examinations for State Services and Group A, Group B and Group C posts will continue in the existing format this year.Bhimanwar also said CBT and the normalisation process are already widely used.
