“We do not want politics on this issue. Now students have got enough time to study. We need to thank MPSC for this decision,” Chief Minister Eknath Shinde told PTI.

Last year in June, the MPSC said that it will switch from the current objective pattern of tests to descriptive patterns. The aspirants objected to the decision, saying they wouldn’t have enough time to prepare for the revised curriculum if it went into effect in 2023.
