The Madhya Pradesh Subordinate Staff Selection Board (MP ESB) has announced an extension of the last date for online applications for the Patwari recruitment drive 2026. The new deadline has been set for August 23, giving candidates additional time to complete their registration and submission process.
Patwaris are crucial field-level officers in the revenue administration of the state, responsible for maintaining land and property records, overseeing revenue collection, and serving as a vital link between citizens and the government's land record systems. The recruitment aims to fill vacancies across various districts in Madhya Pradesh.
Eligibility for the Patwari post requires candidates to have passed graduation from a recognized university. Some categories may have relaxed educational qualifications as per state government norms. Candidates must also be domiciles of Madhya Pradesh and meet the prescribed age criteria, which typically ranges between 18 and 40 years depending on category reservations.
The application process is entirely online through the official portal at esb.mp.gov.in. Candidates are advised to register on the website, fill in all required personal and academic details, upload the necessary documents including photographs, signatures, and certificates, and pay the prescribed application fee. Candidates belonging to reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC, and EWS are eligible for fee concessions as per government norms.
Important documents required during the application process include educational certificates, caste certificates for category candidates, domicile proof, identity proof, passport-sized photographs, and digital signatures. Candidates must ensure that all uploaded documents meet the specified format and size requirements to avoid rejection of their applications.
The selection process for the Patwari post typically involves a written examination conducted by the MP ESB, followed by document verification. The written test generally covers subjects such as general knowledge, reasoning, mathematics, and Hindi language proficiency. Candidates who clear the examination are called for further stages of the selection process.
Officials have urged candidates not to wait until the last day to submit their applications, as technical glitches and server issues are commonly reported on final submission dates. It is recommended that applicants complete their registration and payment well before the deadline.
For any queries or clarifications regarding the recruitment process, candidates can refer to the official notification available on the MP ESB website or contact the board's helpline numbers.
