Frequently Asked Questions
Q: The exam date changed — does this affect my exam centre also?
Exam centre typically does not change when only the date changes. However, always verify your exam centre on the updated admit card — do not assume the centre is the same as mentioned in an earlier slip if you downloaded one before the date change.
Q: I applied for Van Rakshak. My height is 161 cm — am I eligible?
The stated height requirement for Van Rakshak is 163 cm for male candidates. If your height is 161 cm, you fall below the eligibility threshold. However, verify this against the official rulebook available at esb.mp.gov.in/Rulebooks — relaxations may apply for SC/ST candidates from specific districts or Scheduled Tribes of MP.
Q: Is the exam objective type or written/essay?
MPESB exams for Van Rakshak and Jail Prahari are typically Computer-Based Tests (CBT) with objective-type MCQ questions. The exam covers General Knowledge, Reasoning, Hindi, and relevant subject areas. Check the official rulebook for the exact exam pattern specific to your applied post.
