MPPSC Assistant Director Fisheries 2026 Candidature Cancellation Overview
The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission has issued an official notification regarding the cancellation of candidatures for the Assistant Director Fisheries Examination 2026. The recruitment process was initiated under advertisement number 11/2026 to fill total vacancies across various categories including UR, SC, ST, OBC, and EWS. Following the scrutiny of application forms and documents received at the commission office, the authority has found several candidates ineligible due to various reasons such as non-submission of hard copies of applications, lack of requisite master's degrees in Zoology with Fishery Science or equivalent, absence of mandatory one-year inland fisheries training, and failure to meet the required post-qualification experience criteria.
Details of Candidature Rejection
The cancellation list is divided into multiple categories based on the discrepancy found during document verification. Several applicants failed to submit their offline application forms and supporting documents by the final closing date. Another set of applicants submitted their documents after the prescribed deadline. Furthermore, numerous candidates were disqualified after scrutiny by subject experts because their mark sheets lacked the required specialization in Fishery Science, did not cover all semesters, or they failed to present valid experience certificates from recognized government or semi-government organizations showing the continuous five-year service requirement in inland fisheries development or research.
Steps and Remedies for Affected Candidates
Candidates whose candidatures have been canceled have been provided with specific remedial options depending on their category of rejection:
- Late Document Submission Relief: Candidates whose documents reached the office after the deadline can regularize their application by paying a late fee of Rs. 25,000 for paragraph 04 cases or Rs. 3,000 for paragraph 05 cases through MPOnline at the commission's designated collection center within 10 working days of the notification date.
- Objection Submission: Candidates listed under paragraph 06 whose candidature was rejected by subject experts can file an objection representation along with supporting documents to the MPPSC office within 10 days from the date of issue of this notification.
Important Instructions to Keep in Mind
Applicants should ensure that all representations are submitted within the 10-day window from the issuance date. Postal delays or submissions after the deadline will not be entertained by the commission, and such representations will be filed without review. Fee refunds will not be issued for rejected applications where candidates failed to meet eligibility criteria.
