The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has made the provisional answer key and response sheets available for its Group-2 Sub Group-4 Combined Recruitment Test 2026. Candidates who took the computer-based examination can use their own date and shift details to check their responses and estimate their marks.

The recruitment examination covers 2,106 posts across several categories and began on 22 September 2026. The answer key was released on 6 October, and candidates may submit objections to a question from 6 to 9 October through the MPESB website; the examination was conducted online, and candidates shortlisted on written-test marks are expected to proceed to document verification and a medical examination if required.

Important Dates

The examination is held in two shifts, so candidates should open the answer key for their own examination date and shift. The result date has not been announced. MPESB is expected to publish the result after the objection window has closed and the final answer key has been prepared.

Vacancy Details

The recruitment is for 2,106 vacancies across various Group-2 Sub Group-4 posts. The category-wise distribution reported for the recruitment is shown below.
