MPSC Rajyaseva study guide

MPSC Rajyaseva · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The MPSC Rajyaseva - the Maharashtra State Services Examination - is the Maharashtra Public Service Commission's competitive route to Group A and Group B gazetted posts in the state civil service. It is aimed at graduates who want a career in state administration rather than the Union services, and it is conducted by the Commission whose official portal is mpsc.gov.in. The Commission's site publishes a revised syllabus for the State Services Examination together with a corrigendum, and a revised pattern for the State Services Main Examination covering question paper structure and paper-specific instructions - candidates should read those documents directly rather than relying on second-hand summaries, because the Commission has explicitly revised both syllabus and pattern. The site also indicates that screening tests of objective format are conducted on a computer-based system, and separately publishes descriptive-type Main Examination material, so preparation must cover both objective screening practice and written answer writing. Topics on this exam: Preliminary Examination – Objective (General Studies), Main Examination – Descriptive (written papers), and Interview / Personality Test. The MPSC Rajyaseva study guide has 3 sections and about 1,074 words.

Preliminary Examination – Objective (General Studies)

The Preliminary Examination – Objective (General Studies) is the screening stage of MPSC Rajyaseva. It has two MCQ papers set in Marathi and English: Paper I General Studies and Paper II CSAT. Paper I carries 100 questions for 200 marks in two hours; Paper II is an aptitude paper of 80 questions for 200 marks and is qualifying at 33% in the current pattern. Wrong answers attract a one-fourth penalty, so blind guessing is costly.
