Let me first put some eye-opening truths before we go ahead any further.
- Today, situation in Maharashtra is such that a lot of candidates do not know what is MPSC Rajyaseva exam and how to even apply for it.
- They keep asking people on some websites to send them the examination form; they do not know that the form is available at the post office in their own city.
- They do not know how to fill-up the examination form properly.
- They do not know what is the syllabus.
- They do not know what books should be referred.
- They do not know what method should be applied to the study; they simply study as per their golden habit of studying for the degree examination. Alas ! they do not know that this exam is much more different than school/college exams.
- Even after appearing in the exam, some candidates ask for results to some website owners who have no connection with the exams. How ignorant are these candidates!
- I am 100% sure that even a candidate with third division in graduation can clear this exam, if he works hard and makes use of the time, good study material, with a well-laid study plan for one year.
Yes….One Year!!!
For a serious candidate who wants to clear the MPSC State Services (Rajyaseva) Examination in the 1st attempt itself, an year’s serious preparation is more than sufficient.
But proper guidance is much more needed all through the year so that you do not loose tempo of the preparation.
Simply spending an year on the studies of this exam will not do any good to you. You need constant efforts, coupled with a good study material. If your efforts are not sincerely put together then it may take longer to clear this exam.
Well, why do you need one year for the preparation?
First of all, please understand that the MPSC exam is too tough and is aimed at finding only the best candidates. So do you think that you can study one or two books, read them and you can clear this exam? No, simply no.
The syllabus of this exam is so vast that you need to study a lot of books. You have to study many books to cover each and every topic in the compulsory subjects, optional subjects. You need to study for the Interview, too.
When should you start the preparation? There is also Preliminary exam, so what should you do?
This is why you need one year for the complete study. Before you start the preparation, you need to understand the nature of the exam, its structure and process, various other factors that go with the preparation of the exam.
Initially, for few months, you need to study for the Main exam; then for few months, you have to study only for the Preliminary exam; and then after the Prelims exam is over, you have to shift to the Main exam preparation for few months, and at last, you need to prepare for the Interview. Now, don’t say “Ooof..my God…so much to do!!! Now I understand why I need one year!!!”
To become successful at this exam, you need to plan your studies. Prepare a daily study plan, weekly study plan, monthly study plan, quarterly study plan, and study plan for the whole year….and you need to stick to these study plans!!!
Once that is done, you need to start the preparation with full devotion and dedication.
But you may have few questions in your mind….may be the following will be some of them:-
- what books should I buy?
- what study material should I buy?
- where to get proper guidance?
- where to look for current events?
- what basic books should I study?
- how much time should I devote for Prelims and Main exam?
- when should I start my studies?
- how much should I study everyday?
- how do I know that I have prepared well or not?
- what should be my answer to some particular question?
- how much should I write for an answer to be correct?
- how much marks should I score to clear this exam?
- I am a fresher and first timer at this exam, what should I do?
- my English is poor what should I do?
- my general knowledge is not at all good, what should I do to improve it? …and many …and many…and many questions!!!
There are many many question that are left unanswered in the mind of most of the candidates…so what should they do?
Very simple!

Start with 1 subject at a time and till you complete it, DO NOT start with 2nd subject. Read the 10 success mantras available at the bottom of this page.

sir,
m akshay i have done bcom. nw m working in icici bank as a csm…can i give the exam ….nw m 24 years old
nd m open category…. plz reply
@Akshay, yes, you can apply for MPSC Rajyaseva till the max age limit of 33 yrs.
Sir, I am army person and likely to retire in 2017 apr. I will 38 year’s that time can I get age relaxing as ex service man for mpsc
@Shivraj, there is age relation of 5 years for Ex-Serviceman (for Rajyaseva/STI/Asst exam). Max age limit for Open category is 33 yrs. If you are from Open category then you may get age relaxation but you are completing 38 yrs in Apr 2017 so if there is any exam in 2016 (between Nov 2016 and Mar 2017) then you may get LAST chance for that exam. It depends on the date of advertisement and age calculation criteria for that particular advertisement. If you are from reserved category then you may get age relaxation of 5 yrs of that category plus 5 yrs of ex-serviceman but for STI Prelims 2014, MPSC had put up a clause in that advertisement that ONLY one age relaxation will be given. Please contact MPSC about this. FYI- UPSC allows age relation for SC/ST (5 yrs) plus Ex-Serviceman (5 yrs) and OBC(3 yrs) plus Ex-Serviceman (5 yrs).

@Vishal, yes, you can. You have already read on this page how much time is required for the preparation. Also read the 10 success mantras available at the bottom of this page.
is current affairs compulsory subject in mpsc
@Sammy, there are few questions purely on current affairs but when you look at certain subjects like Indian Constitution/Polity, Economy, Science & Tech, etc, more focus is on current happening in these areas; so you should be more attentive towards current affairs.
