MPESB Sub Engineer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) is running the Group-3 Combined Recruitment Test 2026 for Sub Engineer, Draftsman, Laboratory Technician, Technical Assistant and allied technical roles across Madhya Pradesh government departments. The combined form covers several branches and appointing offices, so you should match every post preference with the qualification listed for that post in the official rulebook. This recruitment is designed for diploma and degree holders seeking technical work in state departments.

Posts and Disciplines

• Sub Engineer: engineering work connected with civil, electrical, mechanical or another branch specified by the appointing department.
• Draftsman: preparation and checking of plans, layouts, drawings and related technical records.
• Laboratory Technician: practical laboratory support, equipment handling, testing records and sample-related work for the relevant department.
• Technical Assistant and allied roles: specialised support work based on the exact designation, department and qualification entry in the rulebook.

Post-wise Duties

Sub Engineer

You will support project planning, inspect assigned work and keep measurements, estimates and progress records. Your branch and field duties will depend on the department that appoints you.

Draftsman

You will prepare or revise drawings, organise plan files and help officers check dimensions and specifications. The post may involve manual or computer-based drafting according to departmental needs.

Laboratory Technician

You will handle routine tests, use equipment carefully and keep clear, traceable laboratory records. The subject area will follow the laboratory and post code selected in your application.

Technical Assistant

You will help with technical records, inspections, calculations or equipment-related tasks assigned to your unit. The rulebook entry for your chosen post controls the exact work and qualification requirement.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Post eligibility: a qualification that fits one Group-3 role may not fit every role in the combined test.
• Employment registration: keep the required Madhya Pradesh employment-office registration valid when you apply and when your documents are checked.
• Department allocation: the appointing department determines the workplace, detailed duties and service conditions for its post.
• Information check: incorrect claims about branch, qualification, category or post eligibility can lead to rejection during scrutiny.
