MPESB Group 3 Recruitment 2026: Overview
Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board (MPESB) is conducting the Group 3 combined recruitment test for technical posts used by departments across the Madhya Pradesh government. The notification brings engineering, drawing, surveying and laboratory work into one selection exercise, so you can choose the post code that matches your training. This is a multi-post state recruitment, not a single Sub Engineer vacancy.
The largest attraction is the range of technical career paths under the same examination. Diploma and trade-oriented candidates should compare the rulebook's post-code entries carefully because the work, department and required subject can differ even when two posts sound similar. Your application should be based on the exact post code for which your qualification is accepted.
Posts and Disciplines
- Sub Engineer: field and office-based engineering work connected with estimates, measurements, site records and project supervision in the allotted discipline.
- Cartographer: preparation and updating of maps, layouts and spatial records for the department where you are posted.
- Draftsman: technical drawing work, including reading design inputs and producing clear plans for engineering or departmental use.
- Surveyor: site measurement, survey-note preparation and support for land, construction or public-works records.
- Laboratory Technician: sample handling, routine testing, result recording and upkeep of the assigned laboratory workspace.
- Technician: practical operation, checking and basic upkeep of technical equipment relevant to the allotted department.
Post-wise Duties
Sub Engineer
You will support departmental engineering projects by checking measurements, keeping site records and helping senior engineers monitor the quality and progress of work. Field visits may be part of the assignment.
Cartographer and Draftsman
You will turn survey or design inputs into usable maps and technical drawings. Accuracy matters because other teams may rely on your layouts for planning, estimates and field execution.
Surveyor
You will take field measurements, maintain survey notes and prepare information that can be used in maps, land records or engineering plans. The role can combine outdoor work with office-based calculations and documentation.
Laboratory Technician
You will prepare samples, assist with routine laboratory tests and keep the results organised. You may also check consumables and ensure instruments are ready for scheduled work.
Technician
You will operate or support the technical systems assigned to your unit, note faults and keep service records. The exact equipment will depend on the department and post code.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Post-code rules: Qualification and discipline requirements vary by post code; read the corresponding rulebook entry before choosing a post.
- State posting: Selected candidates should be ready to work in Madhya Pradesh at the office, project site or laboratory allotted by the appointing department.
- Combined examination: The board runs a common recruitment exercise, but the appointing department controls the duties and service conditions of the selected post.
Application Submission Notes
The form is available through the MP Online examination portal. Choose the correct Group 3 recruitment entry and match your selected post code with the rulebook before completing the online form. Use the board's official portal for the final form and any permitted correction.
