About This Recruitment
MPESB has rolled all its Group 2 Sub Group 4 vacancies into a single combined form this year, which means one application can make a candidate eligible for openings across 61 different departments and offices — from Assistant Sub Inspector and Panchayat Coordination Officer to Deputy Auditor, Statistical Investigator and Patwari. This bundled format is meant to save applicants the trouble of filling out a separate form for every department, though it also means the eligibility rules differ slightly from post to post, so reading the notification carefully before submitting is essential.
Selection will run through a single Computer-Based Test common to all these posts, with the exam window opening on 22 September 2026. Because thousands of graduates across Madhya Pradesh are expected to compete for these seats, candidates are advised to complete their employment exchange registration and gather the required certificates well before the form closes.
