Highlights

Vacancy

The rulebook splits each post into open, ex-servicemen (10 percent) and Home Guard (15 percent). The 6,800 posts also have a 35 percent horizontal share for women. These rows add up to the post total.

Vertical reservation in the same tables is UR, SC, ST, OBC and EWS. The printed percentages are UR 27, OBC 27, SC 16, ST 20 and EWS 10. A candidate who is not a permanent resident of Madhya Pradesh can apply only in the unreserved open share. Reservation and age relaxation need a Madhya Pradesh domicile certificate. The 04.04.1995 Home (Police) order keeps persons with disability outside this police recruitment. The competent authority can post a selected candidate to a related unit or branch. Home district is not allotted. A selected candidate completes at least five years in the allotted unit before a transfer.

Important dates

Age as on 06.10.2026

Minimum age is 18 years. The upper age in the rulebook depends on category and domicile. A candidate from outside Madhya Pradesh has a maximum of 33 years and does not get age relaxation.

Where more than one relaxation applies, the candidate gets the single higher benefit. Vikram Award and inter-caste marriage relaxation sits on top of the general relaxation. For ex-servicemen, the period of defence service is deducted from present age, and the result must not exceed the upper limit by more than 3 years. Home Guard and non-commissioned Home Guard candidates need three years of active service on these posts by 06.10.2026. A candidate with more than two living children, of whom one was born on or after 26.01.2001, is not eligible, except where one child is living and a later delivery produced two or more children.

Education

The candidate must be a citizen of India. Education, age and category certificates required for the post must be held by 06.10.2026. A government employee needs prior permission to sit the test, and a resignation acceptance if selected.

Selection

Candidates up to seven times the vacancies in each vertical category are called for the physical stage, on one cut-off percentile for both the Special Armed Force and the other GD posts. Everyone at that percentile is called, even if the number goes past seven times. There is no separate cut-off percentile for horizontal categories. A waiting list of 15 percent of the advertised posts stays valid for one year from the result, or until the next exam result, whichever is earlier.

Written test

Time is 2 hours. Each correct answer carries 1 mark. Unattempted and wrong answers do not reduce the score. The paper is in Hindi.

Physical standards

The Special Armed Force standards follow rules 21 and 22 of the Police Regulations, 1973. They apply to men only. Chest is unexpanded, then expanded.

For posts other than the Special Armed Force:

Where a chest measurement applies, the candidate must expand the chest by at least 5 cm. The rulebook gives no relaxation in these measurements. For a transgender applicant, the district magistrate’s Certificate of Identity decides whether the male or female standard applies. Eyesight without glasses must be at least 6/9 in one eye and 6/12 in the other, with colour vision. Knock-knee and flat foot are not accepted.

Fee

MPOnline portal charge is ₹60 when the candidate fills the form through a kiosk. It is ₹20 when a registered citizen user logs in and fills the form. Both charges are extra.

Pay

Constable (GD) is on the scale ₹19,500-62,000. Under the General Administration Department circular dated 12.12.2019, the first year is paid at 70 percent of the minimum, the second year at 80 percent, and the third year at 90 percent, as stipend.
