Overview
- The MPSC cancelled the Drug Inspector Group-B recruitment after an alleged question-paper leak and police have arrested six people, including three MPSC officials.
- Aspirants, supported by MLA Rohit Pawar, have said they will resume protests in Pune from Sept 26 to press for MPSC chairman Vivek Bhimanwar’s resignation and faster appointments.
- The Examination Reform Committee led by V. Radha has received more than 20,000 emails, held hearings across divisions and will submit recommendations to the government within roughly three months.
- Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told reporters the state will consider a record increase in MPSC vacancies and would be open to reverting to an objective exam pattern if the committee recommends it.
- Hundreds of candidates remain affected by administrative delays, including 76 supply-inspection officer selectees still awaiting appointment orders, which has intensified calls for transparent SOPs and a fixed annual exam calendar.
