They demanded declaration of cut-off marks for each category of candidates (general, EWS, reserved classes) and selection of candidates from reserved classes as general candidates if they score marks at par with general candidates.After initial hearings on the petition on March 25 and April 2, 2026, a division bench of the MP High Court had restrained the MPPSC from holding the main exam.However, during hearing of the petition on Thursday, advocates appearing for the petitioners requested the court to vacate the stay and let the MPPSC hold the main exam, which the court allowed while deferring hearing in the case to July 17, 2026.
