Originally, the Group B prelim exam was scheduled for 21st December 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. However, the Commission decided to postpone the exams due to an overlap with the State Election process, which includes the Gram Panchayat and Municipal Corporation elections taking place on the same date. This decision was made following consultations with the State Election Commission and district officials to prevent any conflict or disruption during the election period.
Candidates appearing for these exams are advised to note the revised schedule and prepare accordingly. The official corrigendum regarding the new exam dates has been published on the MPSC’s website.
The notification regarding the schedule change was issued from the MPSC’s office in Navi Mumbai.
Hall ticket glitch leaves Mumbai LLB students unable to take final exams
Lack of administrative planning has once again disrupted examinations for law students in Mumbai. A group of 3-year and 5-year LLB students from Nalanda Law College in Borivli were unable to take their final year exams on Monday due to missing hall tickets.
Despite receiving exam timetables well in advance, students said the exam portal links — used to access past results and download hall tickets — were sent only last Thursday. “Many of us were unable to log in to those portals. Over the weekend, our college officials kept reassuring us that the hall tickets would turn up,” said Shel Sarawgi, an LLB student.
When the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) exams were scheduled at 10.30 am, students were asked to report to the college instead to collect hall tickets from the security guard. “While some students got theirs, we were told ours were on the way. Even at 10.45 am, we were waiting at our college gates instead of being at our exam centres,” she added.
With the labour law exam slated for Wednesday and no clarity on hall tickets, students remain in limbo. “Many 5-year LLB students were sent to sit at their centres while teachers rushed with hall tickets. Even after that, they were asked to wait due to problems with the QR codes on answer sheets. My hall ticket never showed up, and it has left me troubled,” said another student on condition of anonymity.
