Against the backdrop of the Corona crisis, the state government has decided to postpone all the examinations of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission. The Chief Secretary informed that the examination has been postponed in the Cabinet meeting today. It is also said that the revised schedule of the examination will be announced soon. As the Corona crisis has not been averted, on the one hand, there is a demand for postponing the JEE and exams, but the central government is adamant on taking the exams. The state government has taken this decision.
Earlier, the students had filed a petition in the Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court seeking a change in the district level center for the Maharashtra State Public Service Commission’s pre-examination on September 20. The students had now run directly to the court as the commission did not heed their repeated demands from the student unions and people’s representatives.
