The selection process for MPSC Group B services involves multiple stages designed to assess the candidate's aptitude and subject knowledge. The preliminary examination serves as a screening test to shortlist candidates for the main examination. Following the main examination, successful candidates are called for document verification and, in some cases, a physical test or interview depending on the specific post requirements. The final merit list is prepared based on the cumulative performance of the candidates across these stages, ensuring a fair and competitive selection process.

The preliminary examination consists of objective-type questions covering subjects like General Studies, Current Affairs, and Aptitude. Each correct answer is awarded one mark, while a negative marking of 0.25 is applied for every incorrect response. Unattempted questions do not attract any penalty.
