The preliminary examination was to take place in April last year, but was repeatedly delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Earlier, the MPSC 2020 prelims exams were scheduled to be conducted on March 14. The exams have been postponed for the fifth time in the past year due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Followed by the agitation after the postponement of the exam, Thackeray had assured students appearing for the MPSC examination that the preliminary exam will be held in a week's time from the date announced earlier.
