# MPPSC ADPO exam sees 58% attendance, Indore lowest at 50% 2026-11-02T03:42:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) held the Assistant District Public Prosecution Officer (ADPO) Recruitment Examination 2026 on Sunday, 1 November 2026, with 58% of registered candidates appearing. Of the 32,000 candidates, 18,560 took the test across 83 centres in Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior and Jabalpur. Jabalpur recorded the highest attendance at 75%, followed by Gwalior at 73%, Bhopal at 55% and Indore at around 50%. In Indore, only 7,500 of the approximately 15,000 candidates showed up. The 450-mark paper had 150 multiple-choice questions, with three marks for each correct answer and a one-mark penalty for wrong ones. The recruitment drive fills 107 posts across categories. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 58% attendance rate means nearly 13,440 of the 32,000 registered candidates did not sit the exam, with Indore's 50% turnout the worst across the four test cities. The low turnout leaves the MPPSC with a smaller talent pool for 107 posts, but the format remains competitive: 18,560 candidates are vying for 29 general-category vacancies. Results and the next stage of the recruitment process have not yet been announced. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Straight factual report on attendance and exam details This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
