Sharad Pawar supports postponement of MPSC exam
PUNE [Maha Media]: NCP (SP) Chief Sharad Pawar has sided with the candidates agitating in Pune demanding postponement of the MPSC prelims exam, scheduled for August 25, warning that he would join the protest if the government doesn’t clarify its stand.
Many job-seekers, preparing for the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) preliminary exam, have been protesting since Tuesday night demanding a different date as it clashes with a banking exam on the same day.
NCP (SP) legislator Rohit Pawar has joined the agitation and has been sitting with the protesting candidates.
Sharad Pawar said, "It is the responsibility of the state government to consider the interests of students taking the MPSC exam. However, it appears the government is not taking it seriously. By tomorrow, if the government does not clarify its stand, I will join the agitation to ensure justice for the candidates."
An MPSC aspirant mentioned that they seek to have 258 posts from the agriculture department included under the MPSC exam. They argue that the overlap with the Indian Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) exam for clerical positions makes it impossible for students to attend both exams in one day, prompting the demand for a postponement.
