MPSC Merit List 2026 - Results Explained

The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has published three separate merit lists relevant to candidates tracking the recruitment cycle: the Provisional General Merit List for Associate Professor (Cardio-Vascular and Thoracic Surgery) under Advertisement No. 046/2025, the Provisional General Merit List for Professor (Neonatology) under Advertisement No. 100/2025, and the Final Merit List for the Maharashtra Agriculture Services Main Examination 2024 under Advertisement No. 055/2025. Below is a complete, easy-to-scan breakdown of each list, including candidate names, categories, merit ranks, and what these results mean for applicants.

An MPSC merit list is an official ranking of candidates who applied for a specific post or examination, arranged according to their marks, category eligibility, and validity status. MPSC issues a "provisional" merit list first, allowing candidates to verify their personal and category details, before later releasing a "final" merit list once all checks are complete.

MPSC Associate Professor (Cardio-Vascular and Thoracic Surgery) - Provisional Merit List (Advt. No. 046/2025)

This provisional general merit list covers the post of Associate Professor in Cardio-Vascular and Thoracic Surgery at Government Medical Colleges under Maharashtra's Medical Education and Research Services. Only four candidates appear on this list.

Of the four candidates on this list, two qualify under the Open (Unreserved) category and two qualify under the Scheduled Caste (SC) category, with the document marking all four candidates as "Valid."

MPSC Professor (Neonatology) - Provisional Merit List (Advt. No. 100/2025)

This provisional general merit list is for the post of Professor in Neonatology at Government Medical Colleges, also under Maharashtra's Medical Education and Research Services. The list contains a single candidate.

Maharashtra Agriculture Services Main Examination 2024 - Final Merit List (Advt. No. 055/2025)

Unlike the two lists above, this is a Final Merit List, meaning the ranking is conclusive. It covers the Maharashtra Agriculture Services Main Examination 2024 and lists a total of 778 candidates, ranked by merit number from 1 to 778, along with their preliminary and main exam roll numbers, category, domicile, and education/result codes.

Note: The complete list runs through Merit No. 778 and should be checked on the official MPSC website by candidates who do not find their names in this top-20 sample.

Reservation Categories Used in the Agriculture Services List

The Advt. No. 055/2025 list uses several Maharashtra reservation category codes. Here is what each abbreviation stands for:

Examples include Gaikwad Abhilasha Sharad (Merit No. 38), Manasi Madhukar Godase (Merit No. 61), and Khalkar Akanksha Raosaheb (Merit No. 68), among others appearing later in the list.

1. Visit the official MPSC website.

What Happens After the Provisional Merit List?

A provisional merit list is not the end of the process. Typically, candidates get an opportunity to review their listed category, eligibility, and personal details, and may approach MPSC if they notice any discrepancy. Once this review stage is complete, the commission publishes a final merit list, as has already happened for the Agriculture Services Main Examination 2024 (Advt. No. 055/2025). Candidates for Advt. No. 046/2025 and Advt. No. 100/2025 should keep checking the official MPSC website for updates on their respective final lists and further selection steps.
