The Maharashtra Public Service Commission panel has recommended more than 16,000 Group‑C vacancies for the 2026 state civil services exam, a significant increase aimed at expanding government employment.
India’s Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has announced that it will recommend over 16,000 Group‑C vacancies for the 2026 state civil services exam. The decision comes after a review of the state’s administrative needs and aims to broaden employment opportunities across Maharashtra’s public sector.
Group‑C posts, which include clerical, technical and support roles, are essential for the functioning of state departments. The new quota represents a substantial increase from previous years, reflecting the commission’s intent to address staffing gaps in key ministries and local bodies.
Candidates preparing for the 2026 exam can expect a larger pool of positions, but the competition will remain intense. The MPSC will publish detailed eligibility criteria, application dates and examination dates in the coming weeks.
The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the state government for final approval. Once sanctioned, the vacancies will be advertised nationwide, allowing aspirants from all districts to apply.
