Overview

The Madhya Pradesh Police Constable Syllabus 2026 and exam pattern are essential for every candidate preparing for the MP Police Constable Exam conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board (MPESB) / Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB). The written examination is a Computer Based Test with a total of 100 questions for 100 marks and no negative marking. This article covers the complete exam pattern, subject-wise marks distribution, topic-wise syllabus, selection process and PET/PST physical standards.

Selection Process

Candidates are shortlisted through a multi-stage process; only those who clear each stage move forward:

1. Written Exam: Computer Based Test covering General Knowledge & Reasoning, Intellectual Ability & Mental Ability, and Science & Simple Arithmetic.
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST): Qualified candidates appear for physical fitness events (800m run, shot put, long jump) and physical measurements (height and chest).
3. Document Verification & Medical Examination: Shortlisted candidates undergo document verification followed by a medical fitness check.

The written exam qualifies candidates for the physical stages; the PST is qualifying in nature rather than marks-based.

Exam Pattern

The written exam is conducted for a total of 100 marks across three sections. Each correct answer carries 1 mark and there is no negative marking. The difficulty level of questions is set at the 8th Class standard.

Physical Standard Test (PST)

The PST measures height and chest and is qualifying in nature – candidates must meet these standards to proceed to the next stage.

How to Prepare

• Start with the syllabus, not question banks – know which of the three sections needs the most attention.
• Build a section-wise timetable – sections carry near-equal weight (40/30/30), so allot daily study time proportionally.
• Practise at 8th-Class difficulty level – strengthen fundamentals in Maths and Science rather than advanced problems.
• Take regular mock tests – with no negative marking, attempt every question within the 120-minute limit to build speed and accuracy.
• Start physical preparation early – train for the 800m run, shot put and long jump alongside written preparation.
• Revise weak areas regularly.
