Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University Admission 2025 - Last Date, Application Link, Fees

Hello

To get admission in Thakur College (TIMSCDR) through MCA-CET, the cutoff for the All India category in 2025 was around 96.39 percentile. Since you were born in Bihar but did your SSC and HSC in Mumbai, you'll likely fall under the All India quota. So, to stay on the safer side, you should aim for at least 95–97 percentile or higher. Cutoffs can change depending on the competition each year, so the higher you score, the better your chances. Thakur is a good college, so it stays slightly competitive. Keep your focus strong for the 2026 exam and start preparing early

Hello Akshay,

To be eligible for the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) exam, candidates must meet certain educational qualifications. Here's a general guideline regarding eligibility:

MPSC Eligibility Criteria:

1. Educational Qualification : Candidates must hold a Bachelor's Degree from a recognized university.
   
   

2. 12th/HSC Exam Requirement : While passing the HSC (12th standard) exam is a common educational requirement for most degree programs, MPSC mainly focuses on whether you have a valid Bachelor's Degree from a recognized university.
   
   YCMOU BA Degree:

• Since you have completed your BA from Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) after passing the preparatory exam (without HSC), it depends on whether YCMOU is recognized by the MPSC. YCMOU is a recognized open university, and many students who complete degrees from this institution are eligible for various government exams, including MPSC.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  
• Yes , you are likely eligible for MPSC as long as YCMOU is recognized for the purpose of the exam. The fact that you have completed a BA degree should fulfill the educational qualification, even if you did not pass the HSC exam, since YCMOU allows preparatory exam-based admissions.

However, it is always a good idea to double-check with the MPSC notification for any specific instructions or consult the commission's help desk for clarity.
