The Madhya Pradesh Educational Services Selection Board (MPESB) has officially released its Sub Engineer recruitment notification for 2026, marking one of the largest engineering cadre hiring drives in the state this year. The board has announced a total of 1,700 vacant posts across various departments, inviting eligible candidates to submit their applications through the online portal.

The recruitment drive is aimed at filling technical positions in the state's educational infrastructure projects, where sub engineers play a critical role in construction oversight, quality monitoring, and project execution. Candidates who have completed a diploma or degree in engineering from a recognized institution will find this opportunity particularly relevant.

According to the notification, the selection process will involve a written examination followed by document verification. The board has emphasized that applications will be accepted strictly through the official MPESB website, and candidates are advised to apply well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical glitches.

Eligibility criteria include a minimum age limit and maximum age relaxation as per government norms for reserved categories. Candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes, and economically weaker sections may be eligible for age relaxation and fee concessions as applicable under Madhya Pradesh state government rules.

The previous recruitment cycle for similar technical posts saw tens of thousands of applicants competing for available positions, reflecting the high demand for government engineering roles in the state. Employment experts note that sub engineer positions offer not only job security but also attractive pay scales and career progression opportunities within the state administration.

Candidates are urged to carefully read the official notification for detailed information on subject-wise exam patterns, application fees, and important dates before submitting their forms.
