Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) engineering exam: Over 8k applicants for just 23 posts
By: INDORE: Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) received over 8,000 applications for just 23 posts in the State Engineering Services Examination 2024, reflecting the steep competition. With nearly 348 candidates vying for each post, aspirants are raising serious concerns over the extremely limited number of vacancies. The exam is scheduled for August 24. The intense rush for applications is largely attributed to no announcement of vacancies for 2023 State Engineering Services exam, which left thousands of engineering graduates in limbo. Aspirants were hopeful that this year's recruitment would compensate with higher vacancies, but the numbers only declined. Initially, the notification issued in March announced just 13 posts across four govt departments. Later, with the addition of 10 more positions from the Public Works Department, the total rose to 23. This is a sharp drop compared to previous years; 36 posts were advertised in 2022, and a robust 466 in 2021. In 2021, a total of 36,283 candidates applied for 466 posts. The steep fall in vacancies despite consistently high interest from candidates has raised questions among aspirants about the shrinking scale of public sector engineering opportunities. Aspirants have been demanding that at least 100 more posts be added, citing the rising unemployment among engineering graduates and the declining number of competitive govt engineering opportunities. The written examination is likely to be conducted in Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Gwalior, using OMR-based sheets. The exam comprises two papers: General Studies (150 marks) and Engineering Subject Paper (300 marks) in civil, mechanical, or electrical streams. A 50-mark interview will follow the written exam, taking the total selection score to 450. "Over 8,000 candidates have applied for the State Engineering Exam 2024. The exam is scheduled for August 24. Once ranked alongside State and Forest Services in prestige, State Engineering Services exam is now losing ground due to shrinking opportunities.
