Visit the official MPSC website at mpsc.gov.in or mpsconline.gov.in . Register on the portal and complete KYC verification if you are a new user. Log in with your credentials and navigate to the MPSC Group C 2026 application link. Fill in your personal, educational, and other required details accurately. Upload required documents and certificates applicable to your category - including caste certificate, disability certificate, ex-serviceman, orphan, sports, project-affected, or earthquake-affected documents as relevant. Select your preferred examination centre. Choose your post preference(s) as applicable to your eligibility.

Common Mistakes to Avoid – MPSC Group C Application 2026
Many candidates lose their candidature or face rejection due to avoidable errors in the application process. Being careful at each step of the MPSC Group C online application 2026 can save significant effort later. Here are the most common pitfalls to watch out for. Applying without completing KYC: MPSC requires KYC verification on mpsconline.gov.in before submitting the application. Incomplete KYC will prevent form submission. Applying for the wrong cadre: Each cadre has distinct educational and typing qualifications. Ensure your degree and typing speed certificate match the post you apply for - especially for Tax Assistant (both Marathi and English typing required) vs Clerk-Typist (either Marathi or English). Incorrect age calculation: Age is calculated as on 1 October 2026 , not the notification date. Recheck your age with this reference date. Missing challan deadline: If paying offline via SBI challan, note that the challan must be obtained by 19 July 2026 and payment made by 20 July 2026. The online payment deadline (17 July) is different - do not confuse the two. Not uploading category documents: If you are claiming reservation or fee concession under SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD/Ex-servicemen/Orphan/Sports/Project-Affected categories, all supporting certificates must be uploaded at the time of application. Assuming one application covers all cadres: Verify whether you need to submit separate applications per cadre or a single combined application - follow the instructions in the official notification carefully. Typing certificate not recognised: For Tax Assistant and Clerk-Typist, only typing certificates from the Government Commercial Certificate Examination or a government-recognised equivalent are accepted. Private institute certificates are not valid. Waiting until the last day: Server load increases sharply near the deadline. Complete your application well before 17 July 2026 to avoid technical issues.
