Madhya Pradesh Lok Seva Aayog released the final result for the Sahayak Programmer (Assistant Programmer) post on 06 April 2026 — just five days after the interview was held on 01 April 2026. This is a notably fast turnaround for a state public service commission result, reflecting MPPSC's procedural efficiency for single-post technical recruitments. The post is specifically for the MPPSC office itself (Madhya Pradesh Lok Seva Aayog Karyalay ke liye) — meaning the selected candidate will work as an Assistant Programmer within the commission's own IT infrastructure, not in any other MP government department.

This recruitment was a single-stage process at the final stage — 10 candidates who had cleared the earlier qualifying examination (arhkari pariksha) were called for a personal interview on 01 April 2026. The interview carries 100 marks with a minimum qualifying threshold of 41 out of 100 (41%). Candidates scoring below 41 marks are treated as ineligible — not just unselected, but formally disqualified. From the marks released, candidates Sakshi Mishra (35/100), Anand Kumar Gautam (38/100), Anshita Shrivastava (37/100), Kirti Shukla (40/100), and Om Dwivedi (39/100) scored below 41 marks and are therefore ineligible for selection.

The Main Selection List (Mukhya Soochi) for MPPSC Sahayak Programmer 2026 contains exactly one candidate — Paribhasha Saxena, who achieved the highest interview score among all 10 candidates who appeared. With 70 out of 100 marks in the interview — the highest score in the entire batch — her selection is clear and unambiguous. The selection list was issued under Kramank 147/57/2025/Stha. by MPPSC Indore on 06 April 2026.

It is worth noting that the selection was purely based on interview performance — there is no written test weightage in the final merit for this stage, as MPPSC's process for this post relied entirely on the interview marks for final merit determination. Paribhasha Saxena's 70-mark performance was not just above the qualifying threshold of 41 — it was 2 marks higher than the next highest scorer (Abhishek Shukla, 68/100), giving her a comfortable merit advantage for the only available post.

The Waiting List (Anupurak Soochi) for MPPSC Sahayak Programmer 2026 contains one candidate — Abhishek Shukla (Roll No. 14037), who scored 68 out of 100 in the interview. He is placed as WUNR (Waiting — Unreserved). A waiting list in MPPSC recruitment is activated only if the candidate in the Main List is unable to join for any reason — such as withdrawing the appointment, failing document verification, or being found ineligible at the joining stage. The waiting list candidate cannot claim appointment as a matter of right; activation of the waiting list depends entirely on whether the main selected candidate joins or not.

Abhishek Shukla's 68/100 score is the second highest among all 10 interviewees — just 2 marks below the selected candidate. In a single-post recruitment with interview as the sole merit criterion, even a 2-mark difference is decisive. This underscores the importance of interview preparation at this level — MPPSC technical post interviews are rigorous, and 2 marks in a 100-mark interview can be the difference between selection and the waiting list.

MPPSC has released the complete interview marks list for all 10 candidates who appeared in the Sahayak Programmer interview on 01 April 2026. This list (Kramank 148/57/2025/Stha.) was published alongside the selection list on 06 April 2026. The marks are out of 100, and the minimum qualifying threshold is 41 marks (41%). The list is sorted by roll number (anukramank order), not by merit rank. The merit rank has to be determined by sorting on interview marks in descending order.

Out of 10 candidates, 5 candidates scored below the qualifying threshold of 41 marks — Sakshi Mishra (35), Anshita Shrivastava (37), Anand Kumar Gautam (38), Om Dwivedi (39), and Kirti Shukla (40). These 5 are formally ineligible as per Note 2 of the official result document. The remaining 5 candidates — Vijay Khare (65), Arun Kalar (45), Abhishek Shukla (68), Anshika Nema (63), and Paribhasha Saxena (70) — all crossed the 41-mark threshold and were eligible for merit consideration. With only 1 post available, only the top scorer (Paribhasha Saxena, 70/100) made the Main List.

With only 1 post available for 10 interviewed candidates, the competition ratio was 10:1 — and the interview was the sole deciding factor. Among the 5 eligible candidates (those scoring 41+ marks), the score spread was notable: the top score was 70 (Paribhasha Saxena), the second was 68 (Abhishek Shukla), and the third was 65 (Vijay Khare). The gap between 1st and 2nd place was just 2 marks, and between 2nd and 3rd was 3 marks — indicating a very competitive cluster at the top. Below these three, Anshika Nema at 63 and Arun Kalar at 45 round out the eligible candidates.

The tie-breaking rules specified in Note 3 of the official result are worth understanding for candidates who appear in future MPPSC processes. If two candidates score equally in the interview, the one with a higher percentage in the qualifying examination (arhkari pariksha) gets priority. If that is also equal, the older candidate gets priority. In this result, no tie-breaking was needed — all eligible candidates had distinct scores. However, it is possible in larger recruitments to encounter ties, and knowing the tie-breaking hierarchy prepares candidates for such scenarios.
