MPPSC FSO Exam 2025: Now, candidates have been asked to pay the fees once again for a revised notification – leaving many feeling frustrated, demoralised and betrayed.
After a gap of 17 years, when the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) finally issued a recruitment notification for the post of Food Safety Officer (FSO), it rekindled hope among thousands of aspirants across the state. However, those dreams were short-lived. The exam was abruptly cancelled after forms were filled, fees were collected, and study preparations had begun. Now, candidates have been asked to pay the fees once again for a revised notification – leaving many feeling frustrated, demoralised and betrayed.
The FSO recruitment notification was released in December 2025 for 120 posts. Nearly one lakh students applied, each paying a non-refundable fee of ₹540 – an estimated total of Rs. 5.4 crore collected by the commission. But in March 2025, the Central Government revised the eligibility criteria for the post. Despite this, MPPSC cancelled the exam only a month later, in April, and has now reissued a notification – with fewer posts and a demand for fresh fees.
