In a major relief for departmental aspirants, the Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has postponed the Nayab Tehsildar Competitive Examination 2026 by nearly two months. The examination, earlier scheduled for November 14, will now be held on January 10, 2027. The Board issued a formal notice on Wednesday evening, after receiving concurrence from the Revenue Department. The decision follows representations by the Madhya Pradesh Patwari Sangh, which had sought more time for preparation. The recruitment is for 73 posts of Nayab Tehsildar through a limited departmental competitive examination. It is open only to in-service employees, clerical staff in the establishments of the Board of Revenue, Commissioner Land Records, Principal Revenue Commissioner, Divisional Commissioners and Collectors, along with personnel from the Patwari and Revenue Inspector cadres. In its order, the Board said the probable date advertised in the rulebook was November 14.

 

Considering the request of the Patwari Sangh and the interest of candidates, and in accordance with the consent received from the Revenue Department, Bhopal, vide letter No. 920/6305059/2026/Seven-4 dated 5 November 2026, the probable date is now 10 January 2027. The Board has clarified that only the examination date has been changed. There is no extension of the application window and no fresh opportunity to apply. All other rules, eligibility conditions and instructions in the original rulebook remain unchanged. Candidates have been advised to regularly check the Board’s official website, esb.mp.gov.in, for the admit card, centre details and further updates, and not to rely on rumours. The revised date gives aspirants nearly eight additional weeks to prepare.
