The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has three MP Police recruitments running at the same time. Two are still taking applications. Here is what each one needs, drawn from the MPESB rulebooks.
| Recruitment | Posts | Apply | Exam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Police Constable (GD) 2026 | 7,500 | 22 Sep – 6 Oct 2026 | From 19 Nov 2026 (probable) |
| Subedar (Steno) & ASI (Ministerial) 2026 | 655 | 24 Sep – 8 Oct 2026 | From 3 Nov 2026 |
| Subedar / Sub Inspector 2026 | – | Closed on 23 Sep | From 28 Oct 2026 |
All three exams are online, in two shifts: 10 AM to 12 noon and 3 to 5 PM.
700 posts are in the Special Armed Force (SAF), which is for men only. The other 6,800 are in other units, where 35% (2,380 posts) are for women. The qualification is 10th pass, or 8th pass for ST candidates. You will not be posted in your home district.
Pay: ₹19,500 – ₹62,000. In the first three years, new constables get 70%, 80% and 90% of the minimum pay as stipend.
| Candidate | Height | Chest (unexpanded / expanded) |
|---|---|---|
| Men – SAF | 168 cm (157 cm Gorkha/Garhwali/Kumaoni; 165 cm Maratha/SC/ST) | 79 / 84 cm |
| Men – other units | 168 cm (160 cm for ST) | 81 / 86 cm (76 / 81 cm for ST) |

Minimum chest expansion is 5 cm.
Candidates from other states can apply only against unreserved posts. Reservation and age relaxation are for MP domicile only.
| Part | Subject | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | General Knowledge and Reasoning | 40 |
| 2 | Intellectual Ability and Mental Aptitude | 30 |
| 3 | Science and Simple Arithmetic | 30 |
100 questions in Hindi, 2 hours, and no negative marking: a wrong answer simply scores zero, so leave nothing blank. Seven times the vacancies in each category go to the physical test: an 800 m run (40 marks), long jump (30) and 7.26 kg shot put (30). You need at least 30 of the 100 physical marks. Final merit is written marks plus physical test marks.
| Post | Posts | Pay scale |
|---|---|---|
| Subedar (Ministerial) Stenographer | 135 | ₹36,200 – ₹1,14,800 |
| ASI (Ministerial) | 520 | ₹19,500 – ₹62,000 |
Both posts need 12th pass and CPCT passed with Hindi typing. Without CPCT, you are not eligible. Subedar (Steno) also needs a Hindi shorthand certificate at 100 words per minute and a computer qualification. ASI needs a computer qualification such as a DOEACC diploma, 1-year COPA from ITI, BCA/MCA or an engineering degree. The height requirement is lower: 162 cm for men and 152 cm for women, with no chest measurement.
The written exam has the same three-part pattern as the Constable exam. After it, Steno candidates take a shorthand dictation test and ASI candidates a typing test, and you need at least 30% in it. You can correct your form until 13 October.
| Candidate | MPESB fee | Police Department fee |
|---|---|---|
| Unreserved | ₹500 | ₹200 |
| MP-domicile SC / ST / OBC / EWS | ₹250 | ₹100 |
