In June last year, some changes, including moving to a descriptive pattern, were announced for MPSC Mains, which upset a group of students.
PUNE: NCP chief Sharad Pawar on late Tuesday night met agitating students who are opposed to the Maharashtra Public Service Commission's (MPSC) decision to switch to new syllabus for its competitive exams from this year.
Pawar assured them that he would arrange a joint meeting of student representatives and MPSC officials with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
