Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) Assistant Professor (Physics) Recruitment 2026

The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) has released Advertisement No. 23/2025, dated 30 December 2025, to fill 186 Assistant Professor (Physics) posts in government colleges across Madhya Pradesh. MPPSC is the constitutional body responsible for recruiting teachers and Group A/B officers for the Madhya Pradesh Government, and posts filled through this exam are permanent teaching positions in government-run degree colleges across the state.

MPPSC originally opened this recruitment alongside several other subjects, but many candidates were still waiting for their Madhya Pradesh State Eligibility Test (MP-SET) results. To accommodate them, MPPSC issued a series of corrigenda — dated 25 June 2026, 23 July 2026 and 27 July 2026 — that restarted the online application process for History, Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Mathematics candidates with a fresh window. The written exam for these five subjects will now be held in two sessions on the same day, in offline OMR format. This is a great opportunity for Physics postgraduates with NET, SLET, SET or a Ph.D. who want a stable, pensionable government teaching job.
