The Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board (MPESB) has officially announced the release of the first phase result for the Group 5 recruitment examination conducted in 2026. Candidates who appeared for the competitive exam can now access their scorecards through the board's designated online portal at esb.mp.gov.in. The result declaration marks a critical milestone in the ongoing recruitment drive aimed at filling Group 5 level vacancies across various departments of the Madhya Pradesh state government.

The Group 5 examination is one of the most widely attempted recruitment tests in the state, attracting lakhs of applicants seeking entry-level government positions. These roles typically include posts such as Clerk, Assistant, Data Entry Operator, and other subordinate staff positions within state administrative structures. The first phase result will serve as the basis for determining which candidates qualify to move forward in the selection process.

According to the information available from the selection board, the result card will display the candidate's full name, registered roll number, marks secured in the written examination, and the cutoff marks required for qualification. Candidates are advised to verify their details carefully against official records and retain a printed copy of their result for future reference during subsequent stages of the recruitment process.

The MPESB has indicated that the selection procedure encompasses multiple stages beyond the initial written test. Qualified candidates will be called for document verification, and in some cases, physical efficiency tests or additional examinations depending on the specific post applied for. The final merit list will be prepared based on cumulative performance across all stages.

Officials emphasized that candidates should only rely on information published on the official MPESB website and warn against fraudulent websites or agents claiming to provide early or updated result information. The board has also stated that detailed answer keys and section-wise scores may be made available separately for candidates wishing to review their performance in greater detail.
