Despite the release of the calendar, several candidates who have already cleared written examinations for posts such as Assistant Professor, Dental Surgeon, Mining Officer, and Assistant Director in the Culture Department have raised concerns over prolonged delays in interview schedules. Many candidates have stated that they have been waiting for months without receiving any definitive information regarding interview dates, leading to uncertainty and anxiety.
Responding to these concerns, the MPPSC has reiterated that notifications for various recruitment examinations will be issued in the coming days, indicating that further clarity on pending stages, including interviews, may be provided soon.
Candidates are advised to regularly check the official MPPSC website (mppsc.mp.gov.in) for updates, detailed notifications, and any changes to the tentative schedule, as all dates remain subject to administrative decisions and legal directions where applicable.
