The Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MP Vyapam) has officially announced a recruitment drive for 169 vacancies under the post of Naib Tehsildar in the Madhya Pradesh state civil services. The notification, published on the official Vyapam portal, marks one of the significant state-level recruitment efforts in recent times, drawing interest from thousands of job seekers across the state who aspire to serve in the revenue administration machinery.

Naib Tehsildar is a Group C non-gazetted officer position that falls under Level 4 of the government pay matrix. Officers at this level are typically posted in tehsil or sub-district offices, where they assist the Tehsildar in maintaining land records, collecting revenue, and ensuring law and order at the grassroots administrative level. The role carries considerable responsibility, as Naib Tehsildars often act as the first point of contact between citizens and the revenue department.

The educational qualification required for the post is a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a university or institution recognized by the government of India. No minimum percentage or additional professional qualification was specified in the initial notification. Candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes, and Economically Weaker Sections are eligible for age relaxation and reservation benefits as per Madhya Pradesh state government norms.

The selection process for the Naib Tehsildar post will involve a written examination followed by document verification. The written test will likely cover subjects including general knowledge, reasoning ability, mathematics, and proficiency in the Madhya Pradesh state environment and general Hindi. Qualified candidates will be placed on a merit list based on their performance in the examination, and final appointments will be made according to merit and reservation policy.

Candidates were instructed to submit their applications exclusively through the official MP Vyapam website, where registration, application form filling, and fee payment are processed online. An application fee was applicable for general category candidates, while SC and ST candidates were exempted from the fee. The board also emphasized that false or misleading information provided during the application process could lead to immediate cancellation of the candidature even after selection.

This recruitment Drive comes at a time when the Madhya Pradesh government is actively working to fill multiple vacant positions across various departments, aiming to improve administrative efficiency and public service delivery throughout the state's districts and tehsils.
