The Maharashtra government has postponed the implementation of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) system for Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) examinations until August 2027, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Thursday. Until then, MPSC examinations will continue to be conducted through the existing offline, pen-and-paper format.

The decision comes in response to demands raised by several student organisations and competitive examination aspirants, who had sought more time to prepare for the transition to the digital examination system.
