MPESB Naib Tehsildar Departmental Exam 2026 — 73 Posts
Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) / MP Revenue Department · Post Date:
Applications open — last date 01/10/2026
Short Information
This is not a general recruitment — it is a Limited Departmental Competitive Examination open only to people already serving in Madhya Pradesh's Revenue Department, either in a clerical-cadre post under the Revenue Board/Collectorate establishments or as a Patwari/Revenue Inspector, with at least five years of service behind them. General public candidates and freshers cannot apply, whatever an aggregator listing may suggest. The exam fee is also steep for a departmental test — ₹2,000 for every category, since no reservation-based fee concession applies to a promotion-linked exam.
