MPESB Group 3 Recruitment 2026

MPESB Group 3 Recruitment 2026: Overview

Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) is conducting the Group-3 Combined Recruitment Test 2026 for Sub Engineer, Assistant Draftsman, Laboratory Technician and other equivalent technical posts. This common examination route covers several types of technical work, so you should choose only the post options that match your own training and qualification. The post list spans more than one engineering stream, making the current rulebook and the latest board schedule essential reading before you finish the form.

Posts and Disciplines

• Sub Engineer: field and office-based technical work connected with the discipline named against the post in the rulebook.
• Assistant Draftsman: drawing, plan preparation and technical-record support for the relevant unit.
• Laboratory Technician: laboratory operations, equipment or sample handling and accurate test records.
• Other equivalent posts: the combined test also covers allied technical designations; your eligibility depends on the exact post entry you select.

Post-wise Duties

Sub Engineer

You can expect to support technical planning, inspect assigned work and keep clear measurement or progress records. Your branch and daily assignment will follow the department and post option shown in the rulebook.

Assistant Draftsman

You will usually prepare or update drawings, organise plan records and help technical officers check layout and specification details. The work may use manual or computer-based drafting according to the appointing department's needs.

Laboratory Technician

You will support routine testing, handle equipment carefully and keep traceable laboratory entries. The laboratory type and technical subject will depend on the particular post chosen through the combined examination.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Post preferences: select only posts for which your qualification meets the corresponding rulebook entry; one combined form does not make every applicant eligible for every designation.
• Department allocation: the appointing department controls the final role, workplace and service conditions attached to its post.
• Provisional scrutiny: the board or appointing department may check the information entered in your form, and an incorrect eligibility claim can affect your candidature.
• Latest instructions: use the current dashboard schedule together with the rulebook and any separate Group-3 notices.

Application Submission Notes

The MPOnline form uses your profile registration number and date of birth. If your profile registration or eKYC is incomplete, finish it before opening the Group-3 form. Keep an active email address, because application-related information may be sent electronically.
