Selection Process: Stage-by-Stage Breakdown

The MP Police recruitment process involves multiple stages. Each stage has its own criteria and challenges.

1. Online Application

Candidates must register on the official portal using Aadhaar-based verification. Uploading correct documents, photos, and signatures is essential. Errors in this stage can lead to rejection or admit card issues later.

Common problems include Aadhaar not linked to mobile, name mismatch, or photo upload failures. To avoid this, update Aadhaar details in advance and use a desktop browser for form submission.

2. Written Examination (CBT)

The first selection stage is a Computer-Based Test with 100 questions for 100 marks. Subjects include:

• General Knowledge: 40 questions
• Reasoning Ability: 30 questions
• Mathematics: 20 questions
• Science: 10 questions

Duration: 2 hours
Language: Hindi and English
Negative Marking: None

Many candidates ignore MP-specific general knowledge, which is a scoring area. Focus on MP history, geography, and current affairs to improve your score.

3. Physical Efficiency Test (PET)

Candidates who qualify the written exam are called for PET. It tests running ability and stamina.

• Male: 800-meter run in under 2 minutes
• Female: 800-meter run in under 3 minutes
• Ex-Servicemen: 800-meter run in under 3 minutes

This stage is qualifying in nature. No marks are awarded, but failure results in disqualification. Many candidates start fitness training too late. Begin early to build stamina gradually.

4. Physical Measurement Test (PMT)

PMT checks height and chest expansion. Even a 1 cm shortfall can lead to disqualification. Measurements are taken under supervision, and there is no scope for rounding off.

Get measured professionally before applying. If you’re borderline, work on posture and breathing exercises to improve chest expansion naturally.

5. Document Verification

Candidates who clear PET and PMT must present original documents. These include:

• Educational certificates
• Caste certificate (if applicable)
• Domicile certificate
• Aadhaar card
• NCC/sports certificates (if claiming bonus marks)

Many candidates are rejected due to outdated or incorrectly formatted documents. Check the official notification for exact format and validity dates. If needed, get certificates reissued before the verification date.

6. Final Merit List

The final selection is based on:

• Written exam marks
• Bonus marks (NCC, sports quota)
• Category-wise reservation
• Document verification status

PET and PMT are qualifying only—they do not carry marks. Candidates with valid bonus marks must ensure their certificates are submitted correctly and verified.

What Happens After Selection?

Selected candidates undergo police training at designated centers. They receive a monthly salary under Level-4 Pay Matrix, ranging from ₹19,500 to ₹62,000, along with allowances and benefits.
