hello sir,im in fe and want to know what is minimum age limit for mpsc and can i give exam in last year of degree
@Aishwarya, minimum age for MPSC Rajyaseva is 19 yrs and MPSC STI is 18 yrs. Yes, one can apply for these exams during the last year of your degree (in the year during which your final exam would be conducted. Suppose you are now in last year of degree and an exam is taking place in Dec/Jan but you can’t apply for MPSC exam because the result of your degree won’t be declared by the university before the last date of form submission of MPSC’s Main exam. If an exam of MPSC is being conducted in Apr/May, then you can apply for it because most probably your degree results is declared before the form submission of Main exam).
Sir ,I’m confused about posting.
MPSC madhil sarvat mothi posting konti ahe.

@Jayesh, DySP and ACP both are same. Designation depends on the place of posting (In Metropolitan city – ACP, in normal cities – Dy SP).
