The Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted conditional permission to the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) to declare the results of the Computer Science Assistant Professor Recruitment Examination-2024.

A division bench comprising Justice Pranay Verma and Justice J.K. Pillai passed the order while hearing petitions challenging certain provisions of the recruitment process. The court directed that the results of the petitioners be kept in sealed covers so that they can be produced before the court if required during further proceedings.

The matter has been scheduled for hearing again after two weeks.

Recruitment Process Under Challenge

The petitions were filed by Harachandi Ahirwar and other candidates from Chhatarpur against recruitment advertisements issued by the Higher Education Department and MPPSC on December 24 and December 30, 2024.

The petitioners questioned the allocation of 25 percent marks for experience and alleged that they had been deprived of reservation-related benefits during the recruitment process.

According to the petition, these provisions affected the fairness of the selection process and warranted judicial intervention.

Earlier Order Allowed Interviews

On March 17, 2026, the High Court had permitted the petitioners, who had qualified in the written examination, to appear for interviews. At the same time, the court had imposed a stay on the declaration of results pending further consideration of the matter.

This interim order had effectively delayed the completion of the recruitment process for the Computer Science Assistant Professor posts.

MPPSC Seeks Completion of Selection Process

During the latest hearing, MPPSC submitted an application before the division bench, stating that the inability to declare results was adversely affecting the recruitment process.

Deputy Advocate General Abhijeet Awasthi represented the state government, while advocate Aditya Pachauri appeared on behalf of MPPSC. After hearing the arguments, the court allowed the commission to proceed with the declaration of results subject to the sealed-cover arrangement for the petitioners.

In a significant development for lakhs of aspirants across the country, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially declared the UPSC Civil Services 2025 final results. The announcement, made late this evening, brings immense joy to 958 candidates who have successfully qualified for India's premier civil services, including IAS, IPS, and IFS.

Major Policy Shift: UPSC Cadre Allocation 2026 Explained

In a landmark change accompanying this year's UPSC Civil Services 2025 final results, the government has abolished the 'Zone System' for cadre allocation—a policy in effect since 2017. The new 'Cadre Allocation Policy 2026' introduces a 'Cycle System' that fundamentally changes how officers are assigned to states.

How the New System Works

Under the previous arrangement, candidates selected their preferred zone (North, South, East, West, or Central) before choosing a specific state. The new policy eliminates geographical zones entirely. Instead, all 25 state cadres have been alphabetically arranged into four groups:

- Group I: AGMUT (Delhi/UTs), Andhra Pradesh, Assam–Meghalaya, Bihar, Chhattisgarh

- Group II: Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh

- Group III: Maharashtra, Manipur, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu

- Group IV: Telangana, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal

This restructuring means greater flexibility for candidates, as states from different geographical regions now fall within the same group, broadening allocation possibilities.

Vacancy Breakdown and Cut-off Marks

The recruitment drive aims to fill 1,087 vacancies across various services, with 180 positions designated for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) alone. Here's the detailed category-wise distribution for IAS:
