MPESB has officially released the notification for MP Police Constable Recruitment 2026, offering 7,500 vacancies across the state. Applications open on 22 September 2026. Here’s a quick overview.
The 7,500 posts are split into two distinct cadres, the Special Armed Force (SAF) cadre (700 posts, male candidates only) and the Non-SAF/District Force cadre (6,800 posts, open to both male and female candidates). This is a large-scale recruitment drive, and educational qualification requirements are relatively relaxed for ST candidates, who can apply with just a Class 8th pass certificate compared to Class 10th/12th for other categories.
The application window is fairly short just about two weeks (22 September to 6 October 2026) so candidates should keep documents like educational certificates, domicile certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), and Aadhaar ready in advance, since Aadhaar-based authentication is typically mandatory for MPESB application forms. The written exam is scheduled to begin from 19 November 2026, giving candidates roughly six weeks of prep time after the application closes.
Since the apply link goes live only on 22 September 2026, it’s worth bookmarking the official MPESB portal and checking back closer to that date for the direct application link and detailed exam pattern/syllabus.
