MPESB MP Police Constable Phase 1 Result 2026 Declared: 59,438 Candidates Shortlisted
The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has officially declared the first-phase results for the MP Police Constable Recruitment Examination 2025-26 today, January 25, 2026. This announcement brings an end to the wait for lakhs of aspirants who appeared for the written tests held between October 30 and December 15, 2025. Candidates can now access their qualifying status and scorecards directly through the official portal at esb.mp.gov.in.
According to the official data released by the board, a total of 59,438 candidates have successfully qualified for the second phase of the recruitment process. These shortlisted candidates will now move on to the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standards Test (PST). The recruitment drive aims to fill 7,500 vacancies for Constable (General Duty) and Radio Operator roles across various units of the Home Department.
Key Highlights of the MPESB Police Constable Result 2026
- Total Applicants: 9,78,059 candidates applied for the 7,500 available posts.
- Total Attendees: 6,85,504 candidates actually appeared for the written examination.
- Qualification Count: 59,438 candidates (approximately 8.6% of those who appeared) have been cleared for the next round.
- Selection Ratio: The board has shortlisted candidates at a ratio of roughly 1:8 against the total vacancies.
The result has been prepared using a percentile-based normalization method to ensure fairness across multiple shifts. For many candidates, checking the result today was a mix of relief and nervous anticipation. “I’ve been refreshing the site since morning; seeing ‘Qualified’ on my screen feels like the first real step toward the uniform,” shared one aspirant from Indore. However, the board has clarified that detailed percentile marks will only be displayed after the entire selection process concludes.
Next Steps: Moving to Phase 2
Candidates who found their roll numbers in the merit list must now prepare for the physical rounds. The Physical Efficiency Test (PET) will involve running, long jump, and shot put. While the PET is scoring-based for General Duty posts, it remains qualifying in nature for Radio Operator roles. The schedule and admit cards for the PET/PST will be released separately by the Police Headquarters, Madhya Pradesh. Analysts suggest that given the high competition, candidates should prioritize endurance training immediately as the window between result declaration and physical tests is historically short.
Contextual Insight: Competition Trends
Comparing this to the previous recruitment cycle, the number of applicants has seen a steady rise, reflecting the high demand for government security roles in the state. In the last major drive (2020-2023), the qualification cutoff was heavily influenced by the normalization process, a trend that continues this year. For students, this matters because it underscores that raw scores are less critical than your performance relative to your specific shift’s difficulty level.
What to do now: Shortlisted candidates should keep a printed copy of their Phase 1 scorecard and start gathering original documents, including caste certificates, domicile proof, and 10th/12th mark sheets, as document verification happens concurrently with the physical tests.
Specific cut-off marks for various categories have not been officially detailed in the current provisional result release and are expected with the final merit list. Figures may shift once official updates arrive from the board regarding the physical test dates.
