It should be also noted that the notice didn't mention anything on the cancelation of exams, hence the exams may be held later. Earlier the MPSC also gave the opportunity to those candidates who had exceeded their age limit and could not submit the applications due to covid. There were those candidates who have exceeded their age limit between March 01, 2020, and December 17, 2021, and the government also asked the candidate to submit their applications.
