This Is Not the Constable GD Recruitment
This is a separate recruitment for Constable (Driver). It is not the MP Police Constable (GD) recruitment, which has its own posts, dates and rules. See MP Police Constable 2026 (GD) for that recruitment.
Pay Scale
The rulebook gives the pay scale for Constable (Driver) as Rs. 19,500 – 62,000. As per the MP government circular cited in the rulebook, a stipend of 70%, 80% and 90% of the minimum of the pay scale is paid in the first, second and third year respectively, plus allowances approved by the government.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying without a valid heavy-vehicle driving licence. The rulebook makes it mandatory.
- Applying as a woman candidate: these posts are for male candidates only.
- Claiming reservation or age relaxation without an MP domicile certificate. Candidates from other states can apply only against unreserved posts, with no relaxation.
- Confusing this recruitment with the separate MP Police Constable (GD) recruitment.
- Using unofficial application links. Apply only through the MPESB portal.
