Serious Allegations of Leakage in MPSC Examination Marking Pattern
Serious Allegations of Leakage in MPSC Examination Marking Pattern; Recommendation for Action Against State Excise Department Officials; Questions Raised Over Commission’s Stance
Nagpur: A serious allegation has emerged regarding the leakage of confidential information during the examination for the post of Sub-Inspector (Group-C) in the State Excise Department, conducted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC). It is claimed that the marking pattern was disclosed prior to the examination. Investigations into the matter have reportedly identified several officials, including a Joint Commissioner from the State Excise Department, as being at fault. Ravindra Dinkar Ingole and 14 other candidates filed a police complaint, alleging that confidential documents had been leaked. The complaint was referred to the Crime Branch of the Nagpur City Police for investigation. Upon contacting the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch, the Nagpur Police were informed that the inquiry into the complaint had been completed. It was further revealed that several officials, including a Joint Commissioner from the State Excise Department, were found guilty, and a report recommending action against them has been submitted to the MPSC. The examination was held for 137 Sub-Inspector posts within the State Excise Department, with 953 candidates appearing for the test. The disclosure of the marking pattern before the exam has cast doubt on the transparency of the entire process. Notably, some candidates secured 85 to 90 marks out of 100, raising further suspicions regarding their scores. There are now demands to verify whether it was realistically possible to achieve such high marks, given the difficulty level of the questions and the nature of the marking scheme. The MPSC had previously issued a press release on September 9, 2026, providing a clarification on this matter. However, even after significant information emerged during the police investigation, the Commission has yet to announce any concrete decision regarding the future of the examination. The fact that the Commission has not taken any definitive action—despite the availability of police reports and complaints from candidates—has raised questions about its stance. All eyes are now on the Commission to see what position it will adopt concerning action against the officials involved, the validity of the examination, and the protection of the candidates' interests.
