MP Police Constable Driver Recruitment 2026: 1,000 Posts

Updated: 12 October 2026. The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has published the rulebook for the Police Constable (Driver) Recruitment Test 2026 under the Police Headquarters, Home (Police) Department. The drive covers 1,000 posts. Online applications are scheduled to open on 15 October 2026 and close on 29 October 2026. Candidates should read the official rulebook before applying because the required education, heavy-vehicle licence, age and physical standards must all be satisfied.

Recruitment overview

Vacancy distribution

The rulebook’s reservation, category and force-wise allocation tables are authoritative. Check those tables before deciding which vacancy category to select. The published summary describes this drive as being for male candidates; applicants should verify the precise eligibility wording in the official rulebook.

Educational qualification and driving licence

Published recruitment details state that candidates generally need to have passed Class 10, while a different minimum educational standard may apply to Scheduled Tribe candidates as specified in the rulebook. A valid Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) driving licence is a key requirement for the Driver post. The exact licence type, validity conditions and cut-off date must be checked in the official rulebook; a light motor vehicle licence should not be assumed to meet the HMV requirement.

Before applying, verify that your name, date of birth and other details on the licence match your application documents. Make sure the licence is current and that you can produce the original when asked. If the rulebook prescribes a qualifying period or other licence condition, follow that condition exactly.

Age limit and relaxations

Minimum age and maximum age can depend on category, service rules and other conditions. The exact cut-off date and category-wise relaxations must be taken from the official MPESB rulebook. Do not rely on age limits copied from MP Police Constable GD or an older Driver recruitment. Candidates claiming relaxation should prepare the valid supporting certificate before the application and verification stages.

Pay scale

Recruitment summaries report a pay scale of ₹19,500–₹62,000. The applicable pay, allowances, probation, training and service conditions are governed by the department’s rules and the official recruitment documents. The upper end of a pay scale is not the same as starting take-home salary.

Selection process

Published details describe a multi-stage process that includes an online written examination, Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification and a qualifying practical driving/trade test. Candidates should check the official rulebook for exam pattern, marks, physical standards, driving test criteria, qualifying requirements and the order of stages. Passing one stage does not guarantee final selection.

Driver candidate readiness checklist

Use this checklist before the application window opens on 15 October. It helps identify issues early; the official MPESB rulebook remains the final authority.

1. Licence class: confirm that your driving licence is valid for the heavy motor vehicle class required by the rulebook.
2. Licence validity: check expiry date, name spelling and any required endorsements. Resolve discrepancies with the issuing authority before applying.
3. Education: keep the prescribed Class 10 or other accepted certificate ready and verify the special education rule applicable to your category.
4. Age and category: calculate age using the official cut-off date and prepare valid documents for any claimed relaxation.
5. Physical readiness: read the published physical standards and test instructions; do not rely on requirements from a previous recruitment cycle.
6. Application records: save the completed form, registration number and payment acknowledgement.

Practical driving test: what to verify

Do not assume the practical test will use the same vehicle, route or scoring method as another recruitment. Check MPESB’s rulebook and later notices for the exact trade-test format and whether it is qualifying or marks-based. Bring the original licence and identity documents requested in the admit-card instructions. A candidate may clear a written examination but still fail to qualify if a mandatory later stage is not cleared.

Application day plan

Apply early in the 15–29 October window. After submission, reopen the application status page and verify that the form is accepted and the fee is recorded. Keep checking the official website for correction dates and exam announcements. Use only official MPESB links for payments and admit cards.
