The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) yesterday declared that their prelim exams, which were scheduled for April 7, would be postponed. The decision was taken following opposition from candidates over the mere 48-hour time given by the commission to candidates for re-registration.

A couple of days ago, the MPSC had realised that it has lost data of around 3.5 lakh candidates, who have registered for prelim exam, due to a virus attack on its server.
