# MPSC portal glitch blocks eligible JMFC aspirants from applying 2026-10-31T12:31:19+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A technical glitch on the Maharashtra Public Service Commission's online portal is preventing eligible candidates from submitting applications for the Judicial Magistrate First Class examination by wrongly tagging them as 'Non-Eligible'. With the 7 November deadline approaching, aspirants said they have struggled for a week to complete the process and received no resolution despite repeated calls to the MPSC call centre. Call centre staff have assured applicants the issue would be fixed by the end of the day, but the problem persists, candidates said. A senior MPSC officer who declined to be named said he had received no complaint but would verify the facts and ensure a seamless process. Aspirants have urged the commission to rectify the eligibility status and extend the application deadline so that eligible candidates are not denied the chance to appear for the examination. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The glitch traps aspirants who meet every criterion but cannot prove eligibility through a malfunctioning portal. With the deadline 7 days away and call centre assurances failing each day, the commission holds the only fix: a portal correction, an extension or both. The unnamed officer's claim that no complaint was received either signals an internal communication gap or indicates how few reports have reached decision-makers. Whether the commission acts before 7 November or forces candidates to miss a career-opening exam will test its crisis response. The aspirants' demand for a deadline extension is the concrete pressure point the officer must now address. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Led with aspirant panic and stuck at call centre, no MPSC denial of the glitch This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
