The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) has released the Mains Admit Card for the State Service Examination (SSE) 2025-26 on 04 August 2026 on the official MPPSC portal. The recruitment was notified under Advertisement No. 45/2024 for 158 posts across various Group A and Group B administrative services in Madhya Pradesh. The Mains Examination will be conducted from 08 to 13 August 2026 (six days) across exam centres in Madhya Pradesh. This is a descriptive (written) examination for candidates who qualified the MPPSC SSE Preliminary Examination held on 16 February 2025. Candidates can download their admit card by logging into the official MPPSC portal using their Enrollment Number, Registration Number, or Date of Birth. A printed copy of the admit card along with a valid original photo ID is mandatory for entry into the examination centre.
Important Note: Three things every MPPSC SSE Mains 2026 candidate must act on immediately. First, the Mains Exam begins on 8 August 2026 – just 4 days away – download your admit card right now and take multiple printouts. The Mains is a multi-day descriptive examination; verify your exam centre, date and reporting time for each paper on the downloaded admit card. Second, the Mains Exam is descriptive in nature (not objective/MCQ like the Prelims) and covers six papers over six days – each paper requires sustained writing, so candidates should also confirm the specific paper schedule for each date. Third, only candidates who qualified the MPPSC SSE Preliminary Examination held on 16 February 2025 are eligible to appear in the Mains – if your name did not appear in the Prelims result declared on 05 March 2025, you are not eligible for this Mains.
