Why it matters for Pune’s aspirants
Pune is the state’s biggest hub for MPSC preparation, with thousands of students living in study rooms around Sadashiv Peth, Navi Peth and Shaniwar Peth. Many of them have written one or more of these exams. Students’ groups had been demanding a transparent inquiry for months.
Stick to facts in your affidavit and attach only what you can back up. A sworn affidavit with false claims can have legal consequences.
