BHOPAL, October 6 — The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) formally closed the online registration portal at midnight on Tuesday for the direct recruitment of 7,500 Constables (General Duty) and Special Armed Force (SAF) personnel across the state police establishment.
Provisional registration data released by board administrators indicated that over 850,000 candidates completed application processing on the centralised state portal `esb.mp.gov.in`. To accommodate necessary corrections, the board has opened an online modification window active through October 11, permitting candidates to rectify minor biographical, educational, or typographical discrepancies.
The multi-tier examination structure mandates a 100-mark Computer-Based Test (CBT) covering General Knowledge, Reasoning, Intellectual Ability, and Science/Arithmetic, followed by a rigorous Physical Efficiency Test (PET) evaluating an 800-metre run, long jump, and shot put. Final merit determinations will synthesize scores accrued across the written examination and normalized athletic benchmarks.
Police administrative hierarchy, Seventh Schedule legislative distributions, and apex judicial rulings on police reform (Prakash Singh v. Union of India, 2006) are standard subjects in MPPSC State Services and regional examination syllabi. Candidates should recall that under Entry 2, List II (State List) of the Seventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution, 'Police' is an exclusive state subject, granting state legislatures sovereign prerogative over law enforcement recruitment, training standards, and service conditions.
