MPPSC Eligibility
Eligibility for MPPSC exams differs by the post, but a few conditions are common: Indian nationality (with the state's domicile rules for reserved seats), and an upper age limit that is relaxed for reserved categories. The qualification is what changes most from exam to exam.
Eligibility at a glance
| Exam | Educational qualification | Age (general) |
|---|---|---|
| State Service Exam (SSE) | Bachelor's degree in any discipline | 21–40 years |
| State Forest Service (SFS) | Bachelor's degree with a science subject, or in Agriculture / Forestry / Engineering | 21–40 years |
| State Engineering Service (AE) | Engineering degree in the relevant branch (or AMIE) | 21–40 years |
Age relaxation
The upper age limit is relaxed for SC, ST, OBC, women, PwD and ex-servicemen candidates as per the state rules, and the age is reckoned on the date fixed in each exam's official notification. Always confirm the exact limit and relaxation in the notification you are applying against.
Notes
Some technical, medical and teaching posts require a specific degree — check the post-wise requirement in the relevant notification. Final-year candidates can usually apply, subject to producing proof of passing. For the flagship exam in detail, see the MPPSC State Service Exam eligibility page.
