Maharashtra Eases Age Limit for Recruitment Exams
Maharashtra's government has approved a one-year age relaxation for candidates applying to recruitment exams. A panel has proposed filling more than 16,000 MPSC Group C vacancies. Around 12 lakh candidates have applied for the MPSC Group C Combined Preliminary Examination 2026, which has over 5,000 advertised vacancies.
Context
MPSC, the Maharashtra Public Service Commission, runs recruitment exams for state government jobs, and Group C covers many clerical and junior posts. Age limits decide who can apply, so a change like this matters to young job seekers across the state.
