About This Recruitment

The Assistant Registrar post sits at the heart of university administration in Madhya Pradesh.

This is not a clerical role — it is a Class II Gazetted position, which puts you among the senior administrative officers of the state.

MPPSC is one of the most respected state public service commissions in India, responsible for recruiting officers for various Group A and Group B posts in Madhya Pradesh. A job through MPPSC comes with the full benefits of state government service — pay commission revisions, pension benefits, medical facilities, and long-term career stability. For someone with a postgraduate degree looking to build a career in government administration, this is an excellent opportunity.

This recruitment is open to fresh postgraduates — no prior experience is required. If you hold a Master's degree with at least 55% marks and have knowledge of Hindi or Sanskrit at Class 10 level, you meet the basic eligibility. Reserved category candidates from Madhya Pradesh (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) get additional benefits including lower application fees and age relaxation.

Selection Process

The selection happens in two main stages. First, you appear for an OMR-based objective written exam covering General Studies and Society Management — candidates who score well enough are shortlisted for the interview round at a ratio of 3 candidates per vacancy per category. Your final merit rank is determined by combining your written exam score and interview performance, after which selected candidates go through document verification before the appointment letter is issued.

Preparation Tips for MPPSC Assistant Registrar Exam

• Download the official syllabus from the MPPSC website (mppsc.mp.gov.in) and use it as your study map — the exam has two distinct sections so plan your time accordingly.
• Section A (General Studies) carries 50 questions for 150 marks — focus on Madhya Pradesh-specific current affairs, history, geography, economy, and polity alongside national-level topics.
• Section B (Society Management) carries 100 questions for 300 marks and is the heavier section — give it at least 60% of your preparation time.
