Mumbai (Maharashtra) on December 31, 2025, the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) is set to complete the selection cycle for the Group C Recruitment 2025, which aims to fill 938 posts, including Tax Assistant, Clerk-Typist, Industry Inspector, and Technical Assistant across state departments. The selection process advances through multiple stages, culminating in a final appointment for successful candidates. The Group C recruitment follows a structured pattern designed to test general aptitude, job-specific knowledge, and skills, ensuring that applicants meet required competency standards for administrative and technical roles in Maharashtra state services.
MPSC Group C 2025 Eligibility and Notification Details
The MPSC Group C Notification 2025 was released on 7 October 2025, announcing 938 vacancies. Prospective candidates were invited to apply online between 7 October and 27 October 2025, subject to educational and age criteria. Applicants were required to hold a graduate degree from a recognised university and be between 18 and 38 years of age as on the notification date, with age relaxation for reserved categories as per norms. This eligibility framework ensures that only suitably qualified graduates are considered for the competitive selection process, which began with the Preliminary Examination stage.
MPSC Group C Selection Stage 1: Preliminary Examination
The Preliminary Examination serves as the first screening stage of the MPSC Group C selection process. Candidates who fulfill eligibility and submit valid applications appear in this objective-type test, aimed at evaluating general awareness, reasoning, quantitative aptitude and related areas. According to the latest pattern for the Group C Prelims 2025, the paper includes 100 questions for 100 marks, with negative marking for incorrect responses. The exam will be conducted in Marathi and English and is scheduled to take place in January 2026. Performance in the Prelims determines which candidates qualify to advance to the Mains Examination stage.
MPSC Group C Selection Stage 2: Main Examination
Candidates who qualify for the Preliminary Examination are eligible to appear for the MPSC Group C Mains Examination, the second major stage in the selection process. The Mains exam structure includes a set of papers designed to assess general ability, language proficiency and subject-specific knowledge relevant to the Group C posts. The Mains phase typically carries a higher aggregate of marks and holds significant weight in the final merit calculation. Performance here plays a critical role in determining shortlisted candidates for the next phase.
MPSC Group C Selection Stage 3: Skill Test and Document Verification
Following the Main Examination, candidates may be required to undergo a Skill Test if their applied post mandates job-specific skills such as typing or technical tasks. Those cleared through Mains and, where applicable, the Skill Test progress to the Document Verification stage. Document verification confirms educational credentials, age, category certificates, and other eligibility norms before final selection lists are prepared. After successful verification, candidates are ranked based on combined performance and recommended for appointment to Group C roles.
Final Appointment and Next Steps in MPSC Group C 2025
Candidates who successfully clear all stages of the selection process – Preliminary Examination, Mains Examination, Skill Test (if applicable), and Document Verification – will be considered for appointment to designated Group C positions. Final appointments are made in accordance with merit and vacancy availability, following notification of results and administrative formalities. The comprehensive multi-stage selection ensures that candidates are assessed on both general and job-related competencies, aligning recruitment with the administrative needs of Maharashtra state services.
