Selection Process

Your selection happens in two stages. First, you will appear for an OMR-based written exam that is purely objective (multiple-choice). There is negative marking, so answer only when you are confident. Candidates who qualify the written test will then be called for an interview (personality test). The final merit list is prepared based on combined scores of both stages.

Preparation Tips for MPPSC ADPO Exam

  1. Download the official syllabus from mppsc.mp.gov.in once it is published — the exam plan and syllabus will be released on the website
  2. Focus on Criminal Law subjects — IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act typically carry the highest weightage in prosecution officer exams
  3. Revise Constitutional Law thoroughly — fundamental rights, directive principles, and landmark Supreme Court judgments are commonly tested
  4. Practice previous year MPPSC ADPO papers — they are available on the official website under Old Question Papers section
  5. Work on time management — OMR-based exams require quick decision-making, especially with negative marking in play
  6. Stay updated on recent legal amendments — new criminal law codes (BNS, BNSS, BSA) that replaced IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act may appear
