Three MPSC Protest Groups in Pune Demand Exam Pattern Changes and Chairman's Removal
In Pune, Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) aspirants have split into three protest groups with differing demands: one seeks a return to the objective (MCQ) exam pattern, another wants to continue the descriptive format introduced in 2025, and a third, supported by MLA Rohit Pawar, demands the resignation of MPSC chairman Vivek Bhimanwar. All groups call for the chairman's removal amid allegations of irregularities. Pawar criticized government threats against protesters and welcomed the transfer of the MPSC secretary but emphasized the need for a new chairman.
