Frequently Asked Questions — MPSC Rajyaseva

What is MPSC Rajyaseva?+

MPSC Rajyaseva (State Services Exam) is Maharashtra's equivalent of the UPSC Civil Services Exam, recruiting for Deputy Collector, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP), Tehsildar, and other Class A/B/C administrative posts through a Prelims–Mains–Interview process.

Does MPSC also recruit for Group B and Group C posts?+

Yes. Unlike some states that have a separate 'Vyapam-style' board, MPSC itself directly conducts the Group B and Group C Services Exam for non-gazetted posts such as State Tax Inspector, Assistant Section Officer, Clerk-Typist, and Tax Assistant.

How do I apply for Maharashtra Police Constable/SI posts?+

Maharashtra Police recruitment is handled directly by Maharashtra State Police (not MPSC or a separate statutory board). Check mahapolice.gov.in for the current recruitment cycle, since large Constable bharti drives often use a dedicated temporary application portal announced on the official Maharashtra Police site.
