MP Police SI Recruitment 2026 Notification Out - Apply Online for 507 Subedar and Sub Inspector Posts

A total of 507 posts are advertised across seven Subedar/Sub Inspector cadres, split between non-technical and technical streams. The rulebook notes the number of posts/departments may increase or decrease before selection concludes. Note: the UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS figures above do not add up to the Grand Total for each post - the source table splits an additional portion of vacancies into two further sub-columns (labelled "notional"/87% and "provisional"/13%), whose exact composition is not clearly extractable from the scanned rulebook. Candidates should verify exact category-wise numbers against the official PDF before applying. Each post-cadre further carries horizontal reservation for Ex-Servicemen (10%), serving Police personnel (15%), and Women (35%, not applicable to SI-SAF which is male-only), cutting across the vertical categories above.

Candidate must be a citizen of India. Non-MP-domicile candidates may apply only under the Unreserved (Open) category, with no reservation or age-relaxation benefit, and a flat maximum age of 33 years. A candidate with more than 2 living children, one of whom was born on or after 26 January 2001, is not eligible (with an exception where a single subsequent delivery results in twins/multiple births).

Age is reckoned as on the last date of online application (23.09.2026). Ex-Servicemen may deduct their period of armed forces service from actual age, provided the resultant age does not exceed the post's maximum limit by more than 3 years. If a candidate has more than one basis for age relaxation, only the single relaxation giving the maximum benefit will be granted (relaxations are not cumulative). Age relaxation is not available to contractual/honorary staff such as Shiksha Karmi or Panchayat Karmi. Before submitting the application, candidates are advised to verify that they meet the required age criteria. Use our Age Calculator to calculate your exact age as per the official cut-off date.

An additional MP Online portal fee applies: ₹60 if the form is filled via an authorized kiosk, or ₹20 if the candidate logs in and fills the form themselves as a registered citizen user. A separate departmental exam/processing fee (₹200 unreserved / ₹100 reserved) applies at the second-stage main written exam for qualified candidates, as per Police Department rules.
