MPPSC State Service Result 2026: Prelims Out, Mains Awaited

For MPPSC State Service Exam 2026, only the Prelims result is out (22 May 2026); no result has been published for the Mains, which was scheduled for 7 to 12 September 2026. The exam is for 156 posts after the corrigendum of 20 May 2026. The previous cycle's Mains (SSE 2025) was itself delayed until a High Court order in June 2026.

SSE 2026 Prelims result: two parts

MPPSC declares State Service results in two parts, following interim orders in High Court petitions relating to SSE 2019 and a General Administration Department letter of 29 September 2022: a main part covering 87% of posts and a provisional part covering 13% of posts (OBC and unreserved). For SSE 2026 the main part has 140 posts and the provisional part 16. The result shortlisted 3,044 candidates for the main part and 731 for the provisional part, each at 20 times the posts plus ties. Candidates stay in their own part and cannot claim an interchange at any stage.

What each stage decides

• Prelims: an eligibility test only. Its marks do not count for the final list; the published result is a roll-number list.
• Mains: six written papers, four in General Studies plus General Hindi and Grammar, and Hindi Essay and Drafting. Candidates who failed to fill the Mains form by the deadline lost their candidature.
• Interview: Mains-qualified candidates fill their post preferences online at this stage.
• Final selection: merit is the total of written and interview marks; if tied, higher written marks rank first, then the older candidate. A supplementary list of up to 25% of posts (minimum 2) is kept.

Marks and cut-offs

The SSE 2026 Prelims result says that cut-off marks of the Prelims and Mains and the interview marks will be published only after the final selection result. The final stage is published as a Selection List with an Obtained Mark List on the same day, as for SSE 2024 (12 September 2025) and SSE 2023 (8 November 2025). The SSE 2026 Prelims result came with a "Caveat Vigyapti", and a notice of 1 June 2026 corrected the reference numbers printed in it.

Court cases that affect the result

The SSE 2026 shortlist is subject to the final decision in High Court (Jabalpur) petitions WP-5901/2019 and 5596/2024 and Supreme Court SLPs 12398/2023 and 8764/2023. For SSE 2025, the Prelims result came on 5 March 2025, but the Mains could be scheduled (8 to 13 August 2026) only after the High Court's order of 18 June 2026 in WP 9253/2025; its Mains result has not been posted on the Results page.
