Kolhapur, 2nd April 2025: Tanvi R. Sheikh of Kolhapur has secured the 5th rank in Maharashtra in the Civil Judge Junior Division and Judicial Magistrate First Class (2022) examination conducted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC).
The examination comprised three stages: preliminary, mains, and an interview. Tanvi began her preparation in 2022, and this was her first attempt. She attended coaching classes in Pune to aid her studies. The examination had a total of 114 vacancies.
