MPPSC State Service Selection Process

MPPSC State Service selects candidates through three successive stages, with a physical/medical test for certain posts.

Stage 1 — Preliminary examination

Two objective papers; only General Studies Paper I counts for shortlisting (CSAT is qualifying). Candidates above the category-wise cut-off are shortlisted for the Mains, and the Prelims marks are not carried forward.

Stage 2 — Main examination

Six descriptive papers for 1,400 marks. Candidates are shortlisted for the Interview on the Mains result.

Stage 3 — Interview

A personality test of 175 marks. The final merit list is prepared from the Mains and the Interview (1,400 + 175), and posts are allotted by rank and preference, subject to reservation and any post-specific physical/medical test.
