MP High Court Assistant Grade 3 Syllabus, Exam Pattern

Stage 1, online preliminary exam: 100 multiple choice questions, 1 mark each, 120 minutes.

Stage 2, Hindi typing test: 50 marks, about 350 words in 10 minutes on a computer, in the Remington Gail layout. Delete, arrow and mouse keys are disabled, and only the 350 words can be typed, with no room for repeats.

The advertisement gives only the five section headings above. It lists no topics.

Qualification, all held by the last date to apply: a degree in any subject from a recognised university; a CPCT score card from MAP-IT (now MPSEDC) or another agency the state accepts; and a one-year computer diploma. A UGC-recognised diploma, a DOEACC or NIELIT diploma-level exam, a government polytechnic modern office management course, or a one-year ITI COPA certificate count. BE, MCA, BCA, M.Sc. or B.Sc. in IT or computer science, and M.Tech also count. A B.Sc. or B.Com with only one computer paper does not.

Age: at least 18 on 1 January 2026.

Ex-servicemen can subtract their defence service from their age, as long as the result is within 3 years of the limit. The other relaxations and all reservation go only to MP residents.

1. The online exam is a screening test. For each category, candidates up to about five times the posts, plus anyone tied at the last mark, move on to the typing test.
2. The Hindi typing test decides the ranking. Preliminary marks are not carried into the final result.
3. Shortlisted candidates send the application form with self-attested copies of all documents, addressed to the Principal Registrar (Examination), at the High Court receipt section. The advertisement marks late receipt as rejection.
4. The High Court publishes a select list and a waiting list category-wise.

Level 19,500 to 62,000 on the seventh pay matrix. The advertisement also quotes the older scale of ₹5,200 to 20,200 with grade pay ₹1,900.

Apply on the High Court recruitment page (Recruitment/Result, then the online application link). Register first, use the User ID and password sent to your phone and email, then fill the Application link and pay.

Fees are not refunded. If the payment shows as failed because of a server issue, the update can take 48 to 72 hours, so do not wait for the last day.

The online exam is held in Jabalpur, Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Sagar, Satna and Ujjain. The High Court fixes the centre and shift, and candidates cannot object to them.

Admit cards go up on the High Court site about a week before the exam.

Download the admit card from mphc.gov.in with your application number and password, about seven days before the exam. Biometric registration and a photo are matched at the centre, and the exam runs under CCTV. Arriving after the gate closes means no entry.

After the exam the High Court puts the proposed model answers on its site. Objections can be sent in writing within seven days, as hand delivery or by post to the Principal Registrar (Examination), with source documents; e-mailed objections are not looked at. Corrected answers lead to the final preliminary result.

No cut-off has been published for 2026, as the exam has not been held. The shortlist rule (five times the posts per category) is the only cut-off the advertisement sets.

The paper has five equal sections, so no one subject can carry you. Plan for the typing test early: Hindi typing in Remington Gail is its own skill, and the test uses a fixed text with no editing keys. Keep your CPCT score card and diploma certificate ready, since both are needed on the day you apply.
