MPESB invites applications for 1,000 police constable driver posts
Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board (MPESB) has invited online applications for 1,000 posts of police constable (driver) under the direct recruitment examination-2026. The vacancies include 200 posts for SAF and 800 for district police forces, open only to male candidates.
Applications will be accepted from 15 October 2026 to 29 October 2026, with a correction window until 3 November 2026. The exam is tentatively scheduled to begin from 4 January 2027. Candidates must have a valid driving licence and a UIDAI-verified Aadhaar card, as biometric verification will be mandatory during the exam.
Applicants must be domicile of Madhya Pradesh to avail reservation benefits. Candidates from other states will not get reservation and must apply as per rules. Electronic devices, mobile phones, calculators, smart watches and other prohibited items are banned in the exam hall.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 1,000 new posts come after the board had already called applications for 7,500 constable positions, indicating sustained demand in the state police force. The restriction to male candidates and the domicile requirement for reservation limit the applicant pool significantly. The exam will run in two phases with biometric verification, raising the entry barrier for candidates without proper documentation. Applications close on 29 October 2026, and the exam starts on 4 January 2027.
