Only shortlisted candidates proceed to the Main Examination. Final merit lists are prepared on the basis of Main Examination performance plus interview or personality test marks, where applicable; Prelims scores do not count toward final ranking.
Recent notifications have included corrigenda extending application deadlines and reinforcing online submission through the dedicated portal. At Document Verification, incomplete or invalid Maharashtra Domicile Certificate, Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate for OBC candidates, mismatched category proofs or missing professional registrations (for example, Maharashtra Medical Council registration for Medical Officer posts) frequently cause rejection. Candidates must ensure all documents exactly match application details and remain valid on the verification date.
