MPSC changes pattern: Aligned with UPSC, to be implemented from 2023
Maharashtra PSC has recently released a notification citing changes in the pattern. Now the main examination will be subjective/descriptive in nature (essay type answers) instead of objective (MCQ type) questions. Also, an Ethics paper has also been introduced, modern history will also be included.
From earlier 6 papers in MPSC Mains now we will have 9 papers, with total marks now standing at 1750 in Mains, closely resembling UPSC’s pattern.
Papers | Subjects | Marks | Nature of papers |
Paper 1 | Marathi | 300 | Descriptive (Qualifying) |
Paper 2 | English | 300 | Descriptive (Qualifying) |
Paper 3 | Essay (Marathi or English) | 250 | Descriptive |
Paper 4 | GS 1 | 250 | Descriptive |
Paper 5 | GS 2 | 250 | Descriptive |

Closely resembling the UPSC pattern
Implications of this change
It has certainly made MPSC mains more comprehensive, requiring a wide-based knowledge just like UPSC.
- It will be easier for UPSC aspirants to prepare for MPSC and vice-versa.
- It improve the percentage of Marathi candidates appearing and clearing UPSC as the paper pattern is almost the same.
- It will give equal opportunity to those from rural as well as urban areas. Now every candidate must play on a level playing field.
- For those UPSC aspirants who have exhausted their attempts, they would find it easier to appear and crack MPSC.
- Aspirants who will reappear in 2023 will have to consider it as a fresh attempt as they have to study almost from scratch.
All these pose an opportunity as well as a challenge for aspirants but for sure it calls for a change in strategy.
