MP to hold MPPSC exams twice a year from 2027, CM announces
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced that from 2027, the state public service commission (MPPSC) examinations will be conducted twice a year. The announcement was made at the CM Youth Conclave 2026 in Bhopal on Tuesday, 6 October.
Yadav also announced the establishment of 12 new medical colleges and 12 skill universities across the state. The government will introduce free coaching classes for competitive exams in all government colleges. Researchers' monthly stipends will be increased from Rs 16,000 to Rs 25,000.
The chief minister highlighted plans for an AI city in Bhopal, a Rs 5 lakh startup subsidy for youth, and a value chain from food processing to farms. He said sports will remain a top priority in 2027, noting that Madhya Pradesh athletes won five medals at the recent Asian Games.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The doubling of MPPSC exam frequency could cut the waiting time for government job aspirants, addressing a long-standing grievance in a state with high youth unemployment. The 12 new medical colleges and skill universities would significantly expand higher education capacity, but the announcement lacks a timeline beyond the year 2027 and does not specify funding sources. The CM's focus on AI, startups and sports suggests an election-cycle pitch aimed at young voters, with the effectiveness of these promises depending on implementation speed and budget allocation.
