Check Your Eligibility (Age)
MP Police Constable 2026 applications are open from 22.09.2026 to 06.10.2026 for 7,500 Constable (GD) posts: 6,800 in the district police and other units, and 700 in the Special Armed Force (SAF). The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) runs the written exam from 19.11.2026. Corrections are allowed until 11.10.2026.
MPESB revised page 1 of the rulebook on 15.09.2026 and dropped one rule: registration at an MP employment exchange is no longer compulsory. The full fee is Rs 700 for unreserved candidates, not the Rs 560 some listings show.

What the 15 September revision changed
We compared the revised page line by line with page 1 of the 09.09.2026 rulebook. The dates, fees, shift timings and notes 1 to 10 are word for word the same.
| Rulebook item | 09.09.2026 rulebook, then the 15.09.2026 revision |
|---|---|
| Employment exchange registration | Note 11 made live registration at an MP employment exchange compulsory. The revised page deletes note 11 |
| Everything else on page 1 | Unchanged: dates, fee, shift timings and notes 1 to 10 |
| Department fee left out elsewhere | Some listings show Rs 560 and Rs 310. That is the Board fee plus the Rs 60 kiosk charge, without the Rs 200 or Rs 100 police department fee |
| Aadhaar on exam day | Unchanged. Biometric checks run at entry and during the exam, and Aadhaar must be unlocked for them |
