Indore: A group of students has demanded Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission to suspend the additional mains of State Service examination-2019 after the apex court accepted their appeal.

The court noted that the examination would be governed by the final decision in the petition, students submitted.
In case, the commission proceeds ahead with an examination and later the decision goes against it, then it would be a waste of public money, submitted to students.
“The commission had already done the same by organising the mains examination during the COVID-19 pandemic when the matter was sub-judice before MP high court”, said Akash Pathak, an aspirant, who was among those demanding suspension of examination.
“Later, as the examination was conducted under the wrong rules, the results had to be revised and it reached this stage”, added Pathak.
The mains examination was conducted in March third week of 2021. The result for the mains examination was declared in January 2022 wherein 1918 are qualified.
The commission was to hold an interview for the examination. Before it could be held, the direction from the MP high court led to a revision of the result.

MPPSC OSD R Panchbhai told TOI, “The commission has completed the preparation for holding special mains examination from April 15. It will be held as scheduled.”
On notice from the apex court, Panchbhai said, “The commission will rely on the notice to the petition.”
