About the MP Police Constable (Driver) Syllabus 2026

The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has released the official MP Police Constable (Driver) Syllabus 2026 along with the exam pattern for the MP Police Constable (Driver) 2026 recruitment, which covers 1,000 posts. Candidates who want to prepare in the right order should start from this official syllabus and exam pattern, because the official rulebook is the authoritative source for the paper, not coaching-site topic lists. The syllabus PDF, the exam pattern PDF and the official notification are all available for download through the Important Links section of this post, and the official website is esb.mp.gov.in. Reading the syllabus together with the exam pattern matters, because the pattern shows how much weight each section carries: General Knowledge and Logical Knowledge carries 40 marks, while Intellectual Ability and Mental Aptitude and Science and Simple Mathematics carry 30 marks each. That weightage should decide how you divide your preparation time across the three sections.

MP Police Constable (Driver) Exam Pattern 2026

The MP Police Constable (Driver) exam pattern is simple to understand. The written exam has 100 questions for 100 marks and a duration of 2 hours. Every correct answer carries +1 mark and there is no negative marking. All questions are objective MCQs at Class 8 level of the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education, and the paper is in Hindi medium. The three sections of the written exam are General Knowledge and Logical Knowledge with 40 marks, Intellectual Ability and Mental Aptitude with 30 marks, and Science and Simple Mathematics with 30 marks. After the written exam, candidates up to 7 times the vacancies, under vertical reservation, are shortlisted for Stage 2 on the basis of the written-exam cut-off percentile, as per the official rulebook. The written exam is scheduled from 04-01-2027.

Subject-wise Syllabus

The subject-wise syllabus for MP Police Constable (Driver) follows the Class 8 syllabus of the MP Board for all three sections. General Knowledge and Logical Knowledge, Intellectual Ability and Mental Aptitude, and Science and Simple Mathematics are each set at Class 8 level, in Hindi medium, with objective MCQs. Because the detailed topic lists follow the Class 8 MP Board syllabus, preparation should stay close to Class 8 level material instead of chasing advanced topics that the paper does not test. The rulebook linked below remains the authoritative source for the syllabus, so candidates should verify any topic list against it and should not rely on coaching-site topic lists that may add topics the official syllabus does not contain.

Selection Process and PET

The MP Police Constable (Driver) selection process has four stages: the Written Exam, the PET and Driving Trade Test, Document Verification, and the Final Merit List. In Stage 2, the Physical Efficiency Test consists of the 800-metre run only, carrying a maximum of 40 marks with a single attempt, as given in Schedule-1 of the official rulebook. The qualifying minimum is 8 out of 40 marks, as per rulebook §11(v). The benchmarks are fixed: under 124.2 seconds earns 40 marks, while over 198.3 seconds earns 0 marks. A relaxed table applies to Home Guard and Ex-Servicemen candidates, where under 146.5 seconds earns 40 marks and over 224.5 seconds earns 0 marks. Stage 2 also includes Document Verification and a qualifying-only Driving Trade Test, which must be cleared to stay in the selection process. Candidates should note one important distinction: the GD Constable PET of 100 marks, covering the 800-metre run plus long jump and shot put, does not apply to Driver posts. Only the 800-metre run counts for Driver candidates.
