MPSC Exam Pattern
Like the UPSC civil services exam, the MPSC state services exam is also conducted in three stages:
- Prelims
- Mains
- Interview
A candidate has to clear one stage in order to be eligible for the subsequent stage, i.e, if he/she clears the prelims, he/she moves onto the mains, clearing which he/she would be summoned for the final stage (interview) of the MPSC exam.
