📋 What Is MPSC Group C Posts Recruitment 2026?

MPSC Group C Posts Recruitment 2026 is a notification by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission for 2,619 posts across five distinct roles — Clerk-Typist, Tax Assistant, Industry Inspector, Technical Assistant, and Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector — under Advertisement No. 017/2026. Applications are open from 27 June 2026 to 17 July 2026 at mpsc.gov.in.

This is a combined notification covering five separately-named posts within MPSC's Group C cadre, each with its own qualification requirement and, in two cases, an additional typing-speed certification. The notification itself was dated 25 June 2026, two days ahead of the application window opening.

⭐ Why This Recruitment Matters

With 2,619 posts, this is among the largest single MPSC Group C recruitment drives this cycle, spanning administrative (Clerk-Typist, Tax Assistant), technical (Technical Assistant), inspection (Industry Inspector, Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector) roles. Clerk-Typist alone accounts for 1,864 posts — over 71% of the total — making it the single largest opportunity in this notification by a wide margin.

🎯 Who Should Apply

🎓 Graduates in any stream — eligible for Technical Assistant, Tax Assistant, and Clerk-Typist, the three largest post categories combined.

⌨️ Graduates with Marathi and/or English typing certification — Clerk-Typist requires both Marathi (30 wpm) and English (40 wpm); Tax Assistant requires either one.

🔧 Diploma holders in Engineering — eligible for Industry Inspector (general Engineering diploma) or Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector (Automobile/Mechanical Engineering diploma specifically).

🎂 Candidates up to 38 years as on 01 October 2026 — no minimum age is specified in the official notification.

📈 Career Growth Overview

Not Available — the official notification does not specify promotion timelines or cadre progression for any of the five posts. Candidates should refer to the official MPSC website or relevant department service rules for verified career growth information.

💰 Salary and Benefits Summary

Not Available — the official notification does not specify pay scale or pay level for any of the five posts covered. Candidates should refer to the official MPSC notification or Maharashtra state pay matrix for verified salary information before making career decisions.

📊 Selection Difficulty Overview

The selection process has up to five stages: Prelims Written Exam, Mains Written Exam, Skill Test (if applicable — likely for typing-dependent posts), Medical Examination, and Document Verification. This dual-tier written exam structure (Prelims + Mains) is more demanding than a single-stage written test.

Not Available — specific cutoff marks or selection ratios are not part of the verified source data. Given Clerk-Typist's 1,864 posts versus Technical Assistant's 3 posts, competition intensity is likely to vary dramatically by post — candidates should not assume uniform difficulty across all five roles.

📚 Exam Preparation Guidance

1. Confirm which of the 5 posts matches your qualification — diploma holders should target Industry Inspector or AMVI; graduates should consider Technical Assistant, Tax Assistant, or Clerk-Typist.

2. If targeting Clerk-Typist, secure both Marathi (30 wpm) and English (40 wpm) typing certificates well before applying.

3. If targeting Tax Assistant, only one typing certificate (Marathi or English) is needed — don't over-prepare for both if time is limited.

4. Prepare for both Prelims and Mains stages, since this is a two-tier written exam, not a single test.

5. Budget for the combined Prelims + Mains fee (up to ₹938 for General category) when planning your application.

This guidance covers structural preparation steps based on the verified eligibility and selection process. For the detailed Prelims/Mains syllabus, refer to the official MPSC notification once released.

🚫 Common Candidate Mistakes

• Confusing the Tax Assistant typing requirement (Marathi orEnglish) with the Clerk-Typist requirement (Marathi andEnglish) — these are not the same.

• Assuming a general Engineering diploma qualifies for Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector, when it specifically requires an Automobile/Mechanical Engineering diploma.

• Paying only the Prelims fee and not budgeting for the separate, higher Mains fee if you advance.

• Assuming the offline fee payment deadline (20 July) extends the application submission deadline — it does not; applications must still be submitted online by 17 July.

• Treating all 5 posts as equally competitive — Clerk-Typist (1,864 posts) and Technical Assistant (3 posts) will likely have very different competition levels.

➡️ Next Stage Expectations

After applications close on 17 July 2026 (and offline fee payment by 20 July), candidates should expect MPSC to announce the Prelims exam date, currently marked "Notify Later." The Admit Card will be released before the exam.

Candidates clearing Prelims proceed to Mains, followed by a Skill Test (where applicable — likely for Clerk-Typist and Tax Assistant given their typing requirements), Medical Examination, and Document Verification. This page will be updated with exam date, admit card, and result information as MPSC releases them.
