Pro Tip: Apply before the regular deadline (20 May 2026) — the late fee phases are extremely steep (₹3,000 and ₹25,000), making a last-minute application very costly. For the written exam in November 2026, focus your preparation on advanced topics in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, and Forensic Science in addition to core Botany and Zoology. MPPSC scientific officer papers often include application-based questions rather than purely factual recall.
