This year around 2.5 lakh students have registered for the examination. According to the media sources the commission official said “Availability of exam centers and invigilators for the exams was also a problem as many of the NEET centers were also used for MPSC. Since it was a state-level exam, we decided to postpone it".
This recruitment drive will fill up 200 posts in various departments. The official notification for the examination was released on December 23 and the last date to apply for the exam was till January 13, 2020.
