The Maharashtra government Thursday appointed state’s incumbent Director General of Police (DGP) Rajnish Seth, a 1988 batch officer, as the chairman of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC).
MPSC conducts various recruitment examinations for Group A, B, and C vacancies in the Maharashtra state administration. A notification about the appointment to the top post of the MPSC was issued Wednesday after its proposal was cleared by the Governor, an official said. The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) had cleared this proposal earlier this week.
The notification states that the appointment of the MPSC chairman shall be for the period of six years from the date of assuming charge of the post or till the chairman attains the age of 62 years, whichever happens earlier. As per the notification, Seth will get a little over two years to serve as the chairman of the MPSC.
