MPESB Naib Tehsildar 2026 — 73 Posts, Apply by 01 Oct (Departmental)

MPESB Naib Tehsildar Recruitment 2026 (73 Posts), Apply Online from 17 September to 01 October 2026 in Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB), Bhopal, has released the notification for the Naib Tehsildar Departmental Limited Competitive Examination 2026. This is a limited departmental recruitment exam meant only for eligible serving employees of the Revenue Mandal, Commissioner Land Records, Principal Revenue Commissioner, Divisional Commissioner, and Collector establishments — specifically from the clerical service cadre and the Patwari/Revenue Inspector cadre — and is not open to the general public. Eligible serving employees who meet the qualification, service, and age criteria below can apply online at esb.mp.gov.in before the deadline. Departmental limited competitive examinations like this one are a standard promotion mechanism within Indian state revenue administrations, allowing experienced clerical staff and Patwaris/Revenue Inspectors — who already understand ground-level land records and revenue processes — to move up into the gazetted Naib Tehsildar cadre without competing against fresh graduates in an open recruitment exam. This explains why the eligibility criteria emphasise years of service within specific establishments over broad educational qualifications, and why the syllabus for Paper-II is weighted heavily toward government service rules, revenue terminology, and the Land Revenue Code rather than general aptitude topics — the exam is testing whether experienced departmental staff have mastered the procedural and legal knowledge the Naib Tehsildar post requires, not screening entirely new candidates. Selected Naib Tehsildars will be promoted from their current clerical or Patwari/Revenue Inspector positions into revenue administration roles across Madhya Pradesh's Revenue Department establishments. The MPESB 2026 selection process is based purely on a written examination consisting of two objective-type papers, each carrying 100 marks and lasting 2 hours, with no interview stage. The salary for MPESB Naib Tehsildar 2026 is Pay Level-9 of the Madhya Pradesh Pay Revision Rules, 2017, ₹36,200 to ₹1,14,800 per month, plus applicable Dearness Allowance. The MPESB 2026 online application opened on 17 September 2026, and the last date to apply is 01 October 2026. Application fee is ₹2,000 for all categories, plus an MP Online portal charge of ₹60 (kiosk) or ₹20 (self-login). Candidates must read the complete official MPESB rule booklet before applying, since this exam is restricted to current employees with at least 5 years of service in the specified cadres, and general/fresh candidates from outside these establishments are not eligible to apply.
