If the MPPSC intended to make the postgraduate additional registration an essential condition, it should have clearly stated so in the advertisement." However, there was no mention of a separate “Post Graduate Additional Registration Certificate” being mandatory by any cut-off date. MPPSC treated the separate postgraduate additional registration as a mandatory condition and rejected candidates who had obtained it after the cut-off date of April 21, 2025. They also pointed out that delays in result declarations and administrative procedures were beyond their control and affected their ability to obtain the additional registration earlier. Agreeing with the doctors, the High Court observed that adding new conditions midway in the recruitment process amounts to changing the rules after the recruitment process has already begun.
