Pune, May 17: The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) sources stated that the results of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exam 2010, which was conducted in December 2010, would like to be announced in the end of May 2012.
According to the Times of India (TOI) sources the delay has been caused as one post in the state excise department and three in the revenue department were reserved for sports quota, forcing the MPSC to remove the said posts from the preference list.
The MPSC had received a letter from the excise department about the post in April 2012, while the letter from the revenue department had been received by MPSC in May 2012. However, the commission had already interviewed candidates in March and was in the process of compiling results.
In the last two years, the commission had declared exam results in the first half of May. But it's now struggling to announce the result by the end of this month. This year, the MPSC preliminary examination is scheduled in June. The 872 candidates who appeared for interviews in March do not know whether they should continue their preparations for the June attempt.
Around 4,500 candidates appeared for the December 2010 exam, of which 872 were selected for the interview in March.
The MPSC controls most of the recruitment in the state administration. The commission had conducted the preliminary examination in December 2010, followed by the main written examination in July 2011. This exam was conducted for 290 vacancies for nine different posts in various state departments, such as excise, revenue, sales tax and state police.
The government, meanwhile, decided to reserve the four posts for sports quota - one of superintendent in the excise department, and three of 'nayab tehsildar' in the revenue department. As per the MPSC exam advertisement in December 2010, there were 126 vacancies for the post of 'nayab tehsildar'. The number has now been reduced to 123.
The MPSC official stated that "the MPSC was known for taking more than a year's time to declare exam results. Over the last two years, computerisation of the commission's facilities reduced the time taken to compile results. This year, too, the result was expected to be announced by the first week of May. The next preliminary exam is scheduled in June this year, and we wanted to finish the results before that. But these two letters put a spanner in the process. The allocation of seats and candidates is a very complicated procedure because of reservations based on caste, gender and physically disabilities."
