MP Police Head Constable Exam Pattern, Eligibility

Stage one has two papers, both compulsory and both in objective form. There is no deduction for wrong answers.

Stage two is an 800 m run, which you only need to pass (8 of 40 marks), and a 100-mark technical practical with a 30% minimum.

• Education: Class 12 (10+2) with physics, chemistry and mathematics, and a one-year diploma in computers or IT from a UGC-affiliated institution. A three-year computer/IT diploma from RGPV or a recognised polytechnic, or a computer/IT degree, also qualifies.
• Age: no more than 33 on 19 February 2026 for unreserved and EWS men from MP and for everyone from outside the state; 38 for MP women, MP reserved-category men and government staff.
• Height: 160 cm for men, 155 cm for women. No chest standard and no relaxation.
• Domicile: outsiders can only take open unreserved posts.

1. Written and technical papers. The two scores together decide who moves on: seven times the posts in each category.
2. Physical test (800 m), run by a selection committee set up by the Director General of Police. Qualifying only.
3. Technical practical, 100 marks.
4. Merit list on stage-one marks plus the practical. Documents are checked before appointment.

₹25,300 to ₹80,500. For the first three years you draw 70%, 80% and 90% of the starting pay as a stipend. The contributory pension scheme applies.

Applications are online through MPOnline. In 2026 the Board fee was ₹500 per paper for unreserved candidates and ₹250 for MP-domiciled reserved candidates, plus a police department fee of ₹200 or ₹100. GAD priority groups such as ex-servicemen and NCC "C" certificate holders get 5% added to their written marks.

Inside those figures, 26 posts are for women and 8 for ex-servicemen. The police department is exempt from reservation for disabled candidates.

MPESB hasn't announced the next Head Constable (Computer) test. New rulebooks appear on its rulebooks page.

The first-phase result of 8 May 2026 named those going on to the physical test, and the physical test status list of 23 July 2026 shows who passed. The final merit list follows the practical. All of it appears on the MPESB results page.
