The Madhya Pradesh Engineering Services Board (MPESB) has officially opened online registration for the recruitment of 881 paramedical and nursing staff under its Group 5 cadre, marking one of the largest healthcare-sector hiring drives in the state this year. The notification was released following a government order to strengthen medical infrastructure in district hospitals and primary health centers throughout Madhya Pradesh.
The positions span multiple disciplines including staff nurse, lab technician, radiographer, pharmacy assistant, and various other paramedical roles distributed across numerous districts. Candidates who have completed relevant diploma or degree qualifications from recognized institutions are eligible to apply. The selection process will typically involve a written examination followed by document verification, though exact timelines and exam dates have yet to be announced by the board.
This recruitment drive follows a broader initiative by the Madhya Pradesh government to address chronic staffing shortages in public healthcare facilities. According to estimates, many rural and semi-urban health centers in the state operate with significantly fewer medical personnel than required, impacting patient care quality and accessibility for vulnerable populations.
Candidates can submit their applications through the official MPESB website starting from the current date. The board has not yet disclosed the final deadline, but applicants are advised to complete their forms at the earliest as vacancies tend to attract substantial interest. Application fees are expected to vary by category, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per state government norms.
This recruitment is seen as a significant step toward improving healthcare delivery in Madhya Pradesh, particularly in underserved regions where qualified paramedical and nursing personnel remain in short supply.
