Candidates allege irregularities in Mahavitaran recruitment, submit complaint to Minister Meghana Bordikar
Mahavitaran
Job aspirants have accused Mahavitaran of irregularities in its recruitment process and submitted a detailed representation to Energy Minister Meghana Bordikar seeking transparency and corrective action.
Amravati, November 29, 2025 – A group of competitive-exam aspirants has accused Mahavitaran of irregularities in its recent recruitment process and submitted a formal representation to Energy Minister Meghana Bordikar. The candidates say the procedure lacked transparency, especially in the announcement of results, publication of marks and the handling of waiting lists. Their complaint argues that the process failed to meet basic standards expected from a state-run utility with one of the largest workforces in Maharashtra.
According to their representation, Mahavitaran published a list of selected candidates earlier this year without uploading individual scorecards or the full merit list. Within 24 hours, the list was removed and replaced by a revised one, raising further doubts among applicants. Many have claimed that they were left confused and suspicious, with no official explanation given for the rapid change. The group alleges that such actions undermine trust and create uncertainty for thousands competing for limited government-job vacancies.
The aspirants also highlighted the long gaps in recruitment, saying that several posts have not been filled regularly since 2019. They argue that the lack of predictable recruitment cycles prevents candidates from planning their preparation and often leads to age-limit complications. Some candidates say they have lost eligibility due to repeated delays, despite clearing earlier stages or being on the verge of qualifying.
Another major grievance comes from those who were shortlisted in previous cycles but have not received appointments yet. They say that incomplete waiting-list clearances and inconsistent documentation have left many in limbo. Aspirants have demanded that the department publish complete scorecards, declare pending waiting lists, complete all overdue appointments and stop demanding GATE qualification for posts where it was not originally a requirement.
The group also expressed concern about the wider impact of the alleged irregularities. For many families across Maharashtra, government jobs provide financial stability and are often pursued over several years with significant personal sacrifice. The candidates say their frustration is not only about selection but about fairness, clarity and the opportunity to compete on equal terms.
In their meeting with Minister Meghana Bordikar, the youth delegation requested an independent review of the recruitment process and stricter enforcement of rules to prevent discrepancies in future cycles. They stressed the need for transparency on marks, cut-offs, merit ranking and the basis for selection. The minister has not issued a public statement yet, but the aspirants expect a response in the coming days.
If the government does not act, the coordinating committee representing the candidates has indicated that they may consider legal action. They say the issue is not limited to one batch but reflects a structural gap in how public-sector recruitments are managed, and they want corrective steps taken before future exams begin.
For now, the matter has triggered a wider conversation among competitive-exam students, many of whom say this episode has added to an already stressful environment. As the candidates wait for clarity from the state, the dispute has underscored the importance of transparent hiring systems in maintaining public trust.
