To begin preparing for any of the competitive examinations, it is necessary to first conduct an evaluation of the syllabus that has been notified by the Commission. Next, it is necessary to conduct an evaluation of the papers from the previous year in order to determine the pattern of the examination. The same can be said about the MPPSC. It is highly recommended that once these two procedures have been completed, namely, assessing the syllabus and analysing the papers from the previous year, the next step in the MPPSC preparation process is to hunt for standard and authentic sources.
