MP Police Constable Exam Date 2026

MP Police Constable Exam Date 2026 — exam begins 19 November 2026

The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB / ESB) will begin the Police Constable (General Duty) Recruitment Test 2026 from 19 November 2026. The test is a computer-based test held over multiple dates and shifts, so 19 November is the start of the exam window, not every candidate's exam date. Each candidate's own date, shift and centre will be printed on the admit card.

Posts — 7,500 in total

The recruitment, Advt 583/2026, covers 7,500 Police Constable (G.D.) posts: 700 in the Special Armed Force (SAF) and 6,800 in the Non-SAF. The notification was released on 9 September 2026 and online applications were accepted from 22 September to 6 October 2026, with corrections till 11 October 2026. One secondary source alone claims the form was reopened till 20 October 2026 — that claim is not confirmed and should not be relied on.

Exam pattern

The CBT has 100 objective questions for 100 marks in 2 hours, with no negative marking — one mark for a correct answer and zero for an incorrect or unattempted answer. The paper has three parts: General Knowledge and Reasoning (40 questions), Intellectual Ability and Mental Aptitude (30 questions), and Science and Simple Arithmetic (30 questions). Two shifts are reported: Shift 1, reporting 8:00 to 9:00 AM with the exam from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon; Shift 2, reporting 1:00 to 2:00 PM with the exam from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.

City slip and admit card — expected dates only

Examination-city information is expected around 12 November 2026 and the admit card is expected around 15 November 2026. Both dates are expectations, not officially confirmed, and candidates should check the official MPESB Student Dashboard at esb.mp.gov.in for the confirmed schedule. The official ESB homepage currently shows only a maintenance notice; the exam schedule lives on the dynamic Student Dashboard, which could not be read from here. The 19 November 2026 start date is corroborated by eight independent secondary sources, all citing the official dashboard.
