Expert take: what MPPSC Prelims really tests
The MPPSC State Service Prelims is a two-paper OMR screening test — a scored General Studies paper plus a qualifying General Aptitude (CSAT) paper. Long known for having no negative marking, MPPSC introduced 1/3 negative marking from the 2026 cycle; only Paper I counts for the cut-off and Prelims marks don’t enter the final merit.
Preparation tips
- Focus scoring energy on Paper I (GS), since only it counts for the cut-off.
- Don’t ignore Paper II — clearing its qualifying minimum is mandatory.
- Give strong weight to Madhya Pradesh-specific GK.
⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming there is still no negative marking (outdated since 2026) and guessing recklessly.
- Treating Paper II casually and failing its qualifying threshold despite a strong Paper I.
