Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The Madhya Pradesh Police Headquarters has announced the final results of the Police Constable (Band) Recruitment-2026, selecting 560 candidates amid controversy. The selection was based on a 87% 'main part' formula, with 14% reserved for OBC candidates. However, due to insufficient Economically Weaker Section (EWS) candidates meeting the minimum qualifying criteria, only 560 posts could be filled.
If there were candidates with equal marks, the older candidate was given preference. When eligible candidates were unavailable under the Ex-Servicemen and Home Guard quotas, open-category candidates were filled from the respective categories. The results are contingent upon the final resolution of petitions in the Jabalpur High Court and its Gwalior Bench.
The recruitment process faced queries from candidates over the selection procedure, leading some to seek legal action. Band Constable recruitment did not require a physical test, but rather evaluated musical proficiency and an interview. Despite receiving over 39,000 applications from across Madhya Pradesh, the examination was conducted between June 24 and August 6, 2026.
Candidates can view their results on the MP Online portal and recruitment-related information is available on the official Madhya Pradesh Police website.
