What You Need
Some details below are not confirmed — check the official notification ↗
- 📷 PhotoNo confirmed official px/KB spec found in available sources — MPESB requires candidates to generate a combined "Photo + Signature + Declaration" image via the MPOnline "Template Maker" tool rather than uploading a plain photo file · JPG (combined MPOnline template) — Recent colour photograph, light background, used to build the combined template; exact pixel and file-size limits could not be independently verified and should be confirmed on esb.mp.gov.in when the next notification is released.
- ✍️ SignatureIncluded within the same combined MPOnline template as the photograph — no separate signature upload · JPG (combined MPOnline template) — Signed in ink as part of the template; exact size specs not independently verified.
- 💳 Application FeeGeneral: ₹500.SC/ST/OBC/EWS (MP domicile only): ₹250.Plus a portal/processing fee of ₹60, and separately-cited MP Online wallet charges of ₹150 + 18% GST reported by one source (these additional charges may be portal-specific rather than official exam fee — flagging lower confidence on the exact "extra charges" figure).Note: reservation/fee-concession benefits apply only to MP-domicile candidates; out-of-state candidates are treated as Unreserved/General.

Exam Pattern
Some details below are not confirmed — check the official notification ↗
120 minutes (2 hours) · Negative Marking: None — each question carries 1 mark, no deduction for wrong answers. · Passing Marks: Fixed qualifying minimum reported: 33% for General category, 23% for Reserved categories (this appears to be an actual fixed qualifying threshold per secondary sources, similar to Rajasthan's model — but exact figure was found on only one source cluster and should be verified against the official ESB notification before treating as certain).
| Section | Details |
|---|---|
| General written test | 100 questions / 100 marks total (1 mark/question); exact subject-wise breakdown not confirmed (typically covers General Knowledge, Reasoning, Science, Aptitude per standard MP Police syllabus, but per-section question counts not confirmed) |
| PST (Physical Standard Test) | Height (male): min 168cm general category. Chest (male): 81cm unexpanded, 86cm with 5cm expansion. Female: min height 155cm, no chest requirement. |
| PET (Physical Efficiency Test) | 800m run — Male: under 2 min 45 sec. Female: under 4 min. Long jump (male): minimum 13 ft required for final selection. Qualifying/disqualifying only. |
Written exam structure (100Q/100 marks, 120 min, no negative marking) is well corroborated across 3+ sources.Fee figure and the 33%/23% qualifying marks came from fewer independent confirmations (lower confidence) — recommend verifying both against esb.mp.gov.in's live notification.

FAQs
Is there negative marking in the MP Police Constable exam?
No — each of the 100 questions is worth 1 mark with no penalty for incorrect answers, so attempting every question is generally advisable.
What's the minimum score needed to pass the written exam?
Reported fixed qualifying marks are 33% for General category candidates and 23% for Reserved category candidates — but confirm this against the current ESB notification since it was found on limited sources.
What happens if I fail the PET/PST even after scoring well in the written exam?
You'll be disqualified regardless of your written exam score — PET and PST are qualifying stages, and failing either (e.g., missing the height/chest standard or the 800m running time/long jump minimum) ends your candidacy for that recruitment cycle.
Does my MP domicile status affect the application fee?
Yes — reduced fees and category reservation benefits (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) apply only to candidates who are permanent residents of Madhya Pradesh; candidates from other states are treated as Unreserved/General regardless of their category elsewhere.
