The government of Maharashtra (India's most populous state) has established a seven-member committee to review and reform its public recruitment examination system, following a decision taken at a meeting chaired by the Chief Minister on 12 August 2026. Led by Additional Chief Secretary V. Radha, the panel includes senior officials from policing, technology, and administration, as well as an IIT Mumbai academic and a retired air marshal who previously served on India's top federal civil service selection body. The committee will consult students, educational institutions, and other stakeholders across the state's revenue divisions, and may draw on best practices from other Indian states and foreign examination systems to recommend measures that make recruitment tests more transparent, secure, and fair.
