MP Police Subedar Steno & ASI Eligibility 2026
The recruitment is aimed at candidates with higher-secondary-level education and prescribed computer/typing credentials. Eligibility differs slightly between the Subedar Stenographer and Assistant Sub-Inspector posts.
| Post | Core qualification | Additional requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Subedar (Ministerial) Stenographer | 10+2 from a recognised board | Valid CPCT with Hindi typing, prescribed computer qualification and Hindi shorthand at 100 wpm |
| Assistant Sub-Inspector (Ministerial) | 10+2 from a recognised board | Valid CPCT with Hindi typing plus prescribed computer qualification |
The detailed rulebook should be used to verify the exact accepted computer qualification, CPCT conditions, shorthand requirement, certificates and any post-specific provisions before applying.
Age Limit
The recruitment rules provide a minimum age of 18 years. The ordinary upper-age rule and relaxations depend on the category and candidate circumstances prescribed by MPESB. Secondary summaries of the rulebook report the age being reckoned on 8 October 2026, the application closing date.
| Age check | Rule |
|---|---|
| Minimum age | 18 years |
| Age reckoning date | 8 October 2026 |
| Upper age | As prescribed by the applicable recruitment category/rules |
| Relaxation | As prescribed for eligible MP categories and other candidates |
Candidates should calculate age using the exact date and category provisions in the official rulebook rather than carrying over the age limit from the separate MP Police Subedar & Sub-Inspector recruitment.
Hindi Typing, CPCT and Stenography Requirements
These are ministerial police posts, so computer and language skills are central to eligibility. A valid CPCT score/certificate with Hindi typing is required for the posts. For Subedar Stenographer, the recruitment additionally specifies Hindi shorthand at 100 words per minute.
- Subedar Stenographer: Hindi shorthand at 100 wpm, along with the prescribed CPCT and computer requirements.
- Assistant Sub-Inspector (Ministerial): CPCT with Hindi typing and the prescribed computer qualification.
- Applicants should keep their CPCT and computer certificates available for document verification.
Selection Process
The recruitment uses a written examination followed by post-appropriate practical/skill and verification stages. Candidates should prepare for the full process rather than treating the written test as the only stage.
- First-stage computer-based written examination.
- Post-specific skill/practical examination where prescribed.
- Document verification.
- Medical and other appointment formalities as applicable.
The first-stage examination is scheduled to begin from 3 November 2026. Exact qualifying marks, paper structure and practical-test rules should be taken from the latest MPESB rulebook.
Application Fee
The reported direct-recruitment examination fee is ₹500 for General and other-state candidates and ₹250 for eligible Madhya Pradesh SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates. Additional examination/portal charges can apply, and departmental-exam candidates have separate fee provisions. Check the live MPESB payment screen before completing payment.

MP Police Subedar Steno & ASI Salary
The applicable pay varies by post and service rules. Published recruitment summaries place the ministerial police posts across government pay levels, with the overall advertised range extending into the higher state pay bands. Candidates should rely on the post-wise pay details in the MPESB rulebook rather than treating one salary figure as applicable to all 655 vacancies.
Preparation Strategy
Build computer-test speed
Practice objective questions under a fixed time limit and become comfortable with computer-based testing. Review mistakes after every mock rather than only checking the final score.
Practise Hindi typing
Candidates targeting ministerial posts should regularly practise Hindi typing and maintain accuracy. Subedar Stenographer applicants should also practise shorthand at the prescribed speed.
Check documents early
Verify CPCT, computer qualification, educational certificates and category documents before the application window closes. Correcting an eligibility issue after submission can be difficult.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing this recruitment with the separate MP Police Subedar & Sub-Inspector recruitment.
- Assuming a CPCT requirement can be replaced by an unrelated computer certificate.
- Ignoring the Hindi shorthand requirement for Subedar Stenographer.
- Using an old 2025 rulebook.
- Waiting until the final day to pay the fee and submit the application.
- Entering an incorrect post code or category.
- Assuming the same upper-age rule applies to every candidate.
