🏙 Major Test Cities Confirmed
According to the official notification and supporting media sources, candidates applying for the MP Police Constable Exam 2025 will be asked to select up to four preferred exam cities during the application. The final allotment will be made by MPESB based on availability of seats in those cities.
Here are the cities that have been explicitly mentioned in the notification:
Bhopal
Indore
Jabalpur
Gwalior
Khandwa
Neemuch
Ratlam
Rewa
Sagar
Satna
Sidhi
Ujjain
These represent the major test-city hubs, but the complete district-wise list may include many more centres across all districts of Madhya Pradesh.
📄 How to Check Your Allocated Test City & Centre
Once centres are allotted, here are the steps you should follow:
Wait for the admit card or city-intimation slip to be released on the official portal at esb.mp.gov.in (MPESB’s site).
Log in with your registration number, date of birth and other requested credentials.
On your admit card you will find:
Your test city (one of the cities mentioned above or another allocated city)
The exact exam venue/centre address, room/centre code, shift timing (morning / afternoon)
Print a copy of the admit card, and note down the route, travel time and district of your centre.
If you cannot locate your centre or the city is far away, you should check if there is an official help-desk or helpline provided by MPESB (listen for updates in the notification).
On the day of the exam, reach the centre at least 60–90 minutes before the reporting time to clear all formalities (verification, frisking, seating). For example, the exam is scheduled for 30 October 2025 in two shifts: 09:30-11:30 AM and 02:30-04:30 PM.
📌 Important Instructions and District-Wise Considerations
The test centre will be within the district or nearby test-city you selected, but you cannot change the centre after allotment — final allocation is binding.
During application, you are asked to indicate your city preferences — choose reasonable locations, factoring in travel time and logistics.
Since the exam covers the whole state and many applicants, centres will be spread across urban and semi-urbanregions. In remote districts you might be allotted the district city or nearest hub.
Travel arrangements, lodging (if needed) and shift planning should be made well in advance — especially if your test-city is outside your home district.
Ensure you carry your admit card, photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving Licence etc.), a passport size photoand the printed instructions. Mobile phones, calculators, smart-watches and other electronic items will not be allowed.
🗺 District-Wise Strategy for Test-City Planning
Though MPESB has not publicly released a strict district-wise list of all test-cities, candidates should assume exam centres will be allocated in each of the administrative districts or nearby cities to accommodate the large applicant base. Here’s how you should plan:
If you are in a metro district (Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior etc.), you can safely assume your test centre might be within the same city.
If you are in a rural or remote district, expect the test-centre city to be within the district town or neighbouring larger town/hub.
Prepare for possible overnight travel if your test-city is far — book travel in advance and check reporting time.
Keep alternate routes/plans ready in case of travel disruptions — due to weather, transport delays, etc.
✅ Why This Information Matters for Candidates
Understanding centre‐allocation and city list is key because:
It affects your travel & lodging budget if you need to go to a different city.
Knowing the shift and city early helps you schedule revision, manage peak & fatigue days, rest properly.
Minimises stress on exam day — you will know where you are going and when.
Helps you organise advance logistics: reach test-city day before, know landmark, avoid last-minute rush.
Ensures you comply with reporting time & documentation regulations to avoid disqualification.
