The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), in a bid to improve its functioning, has announced the tentative examination schedule for 2012 on its website.
The commission is following the footsteps of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which declares the examinationschedule on its website. The move is expected to help students prepare for their examinations well in advance.
The commission has provided the tentative schedule of the preliminary and the main examination on its website, http://www.mpsc.gov.in. The notice says specific dates will be notified and the examination shall be conducted only if government requisitions for the post are received in time.
The commission had published the schedule of examination of the combined civil services, police sub-inspector, sales tax inspector, assistant, Maharashtra engineering services (Group B) and Maharashtra agricultural services, civil judge junior division and judicial magistrate (first class), Maharashtra engineering services (Group A) and Maharashtra forest services.
The MPSC is the administering authority for conducting the civil service examination for government jobs in the state. Besides the civil services examination, it also conducts many other examinations and carries out the selection process of candidates for recruitment in different departments.
MPSC member NB Pasalkar told DNA, “Publishing the time-table will help candidates plan their schedule. Our attempt is to make the MPSC examination transparent.’’
