CGPSC defers State Service Exam 2025 recruitment interviews

The postponement comes amid demands from the Congress for increasing transparency in the evaluation and shortlisting process. The opposition party has alleged discrepancies in the evaluation of answer sheets and questioned the number of candidates shortlisted for the interview stage.

The Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) has postponed the interview and document verification process for the State Service Examination 2025 recruitments conducted earlier this year. The commission cited “unavoidable circumstances” as the reason for delaying the process just four days before the scheduled start.

The process will recruit for 265 posts in 20 departments under the Chhattisgarh government.

According to a notice issued on Wednesday, the commission has said that revised dates for document verification and interviews would be announced on its official website. The process was earlier scheduled for September 20 to October 1.

This year, the preliminary examination for the State Service Examination 2025 was conducted on February 22, 2026, at district headquarters across Chhattisgarh. Subsequently, the State Service (Main) Examination 2025 was conducted at designated centres in Ambikapur, Bilaspur, Durg, Jagdalpur and Raipur.
