This is the Commission's 74-page State Services syllabus published in 2022 for the revised descriptive main pattern used from 2025, checked against its 10 January 2025 corrigendum (https://mpsc.gov.in/web/api/v1/downloadFileImage/english/9980). It covers State Services, not every MPSC recruitment. The 2025 correction changes the Marathi optional-subject label from Biology to Botany; optional papers have extensive subject-specific chapters in the source PDF and are not fully reproduced below. The 2026 Marathi Literature optional correction should also be checked before an exact mock. Hindi guide translations do not imply the examination is offered in Hindi; the source says Marathi and English for the common papers.
