        <p>Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector is recruited by individual state public service commissions for their own transport departments, so there is no common national examination. The commission with the largest current cycle is the Maharashtra Public Service Commission, which advertised 461 Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector posts under Advertisement No. 017/2026 dated 25 June 2026, with online applications opening on 27 June 2026.</p>

The same corrigendum changed the mode of the examination from online computer-based testing to offline OMR, described as a response to candidate feedback asking for the conventional format.</p>

State commissions recruiting Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspectors

Maharashtra is the only cycle here with firm forward dates. Kerala has closed applications but has not published an examination date. The Andhra Pradesh entry is included for completeness only: the secondary source consulted gives conflicting application windows across years and a vacancy count of one, so nothing from it should be treated as current until checked on psc.ap.gov.in.

<p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://prepp.in/mpsc-rto-exam">Prepp on MPSC RTO AMVI</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.keralapsc.gov.in/notifications">Kerala PSC Notifications</a> &middot; <a href="https://testbook.com/appsc-assistant-motor-vehicle-inspector">Testbook on APPSC AMVI</a></p>

The Maharashtra preliminary date has already moved once, from 27 September to 25 October 2026, and the mode changed with it, so verify against the hall ticket rather than a saved calendar entry. Kerala PSC publishes examination dates separately from the notification and often at short notice, which is why the row stays tentative.

Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector is not won on the written paper alone. It is an engineering-qualification post with a licensing and physical gate attached, and candidates are removed at the licence, height and vision checks after clearing the examination. Establish that you can pass those checks before you spend a year on the syllabus.

The Maharashtra paper went back to pen and paper

The corrigendum of 16 July 2026 changed the Maharashtra examination from online computer-based testing to offline OMR, and moved the preliminary paper from 27 September to 25 October 2026. That is not a cosmetic change. OMR means a printed booklet, a bubble sheet, no review-and-flag function, no on-screen timer and no ability to revisit a question cheaply. Candidates who trained on mock CBTs should switch their practice to timed paper sets now, because the mechanics of transcription error, bubble alignment and section navigation are a real source of lost marks on a first OMR attempt. The main examination on 27 December 2026 leaves roughly nine weeks after the preliminary paper.

Negative marking on the Maharashtra mains

The main examination is reported as 150 questions carrying 300 marks in one and a half hours, with one quarter of a mark deducted for each wrong answer. Two marks per question against a quarter-mark penalty is an eight-to-one ratio, which makes informed guessing clearly positive-expectation once you can eliminate even one option. Ninety minutes for 150 questions is thirty-six seconds per question, so the binding constraint is speed rather than caution. The preliminary paper is described as offline objective multiple choice; treat it as a qualifying gate and confirm whether its marks carry into the final merit before deciding how much to invest in it.

The licence requirement is not a formality

Maharashtra requires a valid driving licence for motorcycles and motor vehicles. Kerala goes further and requires licences covering motorcycles, heavy goods vehicles and heavy passenger vehicles. A heavy vehicle licence cannot be obtained quickly: it depends on holding a light motor vehicle licence for a qualifying period and completing training at an accredited school. Candidates who start the HGV and HPV process after seeing the notification will usually miss the deadline. If you intend to sit a Kerala cycle at any point, begin the licensing sequence years before, not months, and keep the endorsements current, because an expired class is treated as an absent class.

Physical and medical standards are absolute

Kerala specifies a minimum height of 165 cm for men and 152 cm for women, relaxed to 160 cm and 150 cm respectively for SC and ST candidates, and distance vision of 6/6 Snellen without glasses. Vision without correction is the standard most often underestimated: a candidate who reads 6/6 with spectacles does not meet it. Maharashtra's notification requires candidates to be medically fit against prescribed standards covering vision, hearing and general medical condition. These are eliminating criteria rather than scored ones, so they cannot be offset by a strong written score, and they are checked after the examination when there is no time left to remedy anything.

Qualification and age bands differ sharply between states

Maharashtra requires a degree in Automobile or Mechanical Engineering, or a diploma with experience, with an age band of 19 to 38 years for the open category and Marathi language proficiency. Kerala asks for a pass in SSLC or equivalent plus a diploma in Automobile or Mechanical Engineering, and defines eligibility by date of birth, between 2 January 1986 and 1 January 2005 for the current category. A diploma holder without the specified experience may be eligible in Kerala and not in Maharashtra. Kerala also attaches ten months of training and a two-year probation after appointment, against a reported pay of Rs 45,600 to Rs 95,600 per month.
