1Part A carries 100 marks across GK, Hindi, English, Maths, Reasoning, Science and Computer Knowledge — start revising NCERT Class 9-10 level basics for these.

📈 Year-over-Year Trend
This is a large combined recruitment covering 13 technical streams and 1,040 posts across 90 departments — one of the bigger MP ESB drives this year. Worth applying if you hold a diploma/degree in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical or allied streams, since qualifying marks are relatively low at 40-50%.
❓ More Information You Need
Q: Am I even eligible? I have a diploma/degree — but what exact qualification counts for each post, and is a diploma enough or do I need a degree?
Eligibility varies by post code: for Sub Engineer posts, a Diploma in the relevant engineering stream (Civil/Electrical/Mechanical etc.) from a recognized institute is generally sufficient; degree holders are also eligible. For Technical Assistant, Draftsman, Surveyor and Lab Technician posts, ITI/Diploma in the relevant trade is typically required. Exact stream-to-post-code mapping is given in the official notification PDF’s Annexure — candidates should match their qualification certificate branch name to the eligible stream list before applying.
Q: What is the actual salary/pay scale I’ll get if selected? The page just says ‘not mentioned’ — that’s not helpful for deciding whether to apply.
As Group-3 (Class III) MP government posts, typical pay levels are: Sub Engineer ~Level 6-7 (Pay Matrix ₹36,600-₹1,16,900 approx, gross ~₹40,000-45,000/month with allowances); Draftsman/Surveyor/Lab Technician ~Level 5-6 (Pay Matrix ₹29,200-₹92,300 approx, gross ~₹30,000-35,000/month); Mining Servant/Technical Assistant ~Level 4-5 (gross ~₹25,000-28,000/month). Exact figures depend on the appointing department’s specific pay rules, so treat these as indicative ranges, not confirmed figures.
Q: How is 1040 split — is Sub Engineer Civil (745) open to all streams or only Civil Engineering graduates, and can I apply for multiple posts?
Sub Engineer (Civil) – 745 posts is open only to Civil Engineering diploma/degree holders. You can apply for multiple post codes in the same combined exam by paying separate fees per post/paper and indicating post priority, but you must have the specific qualifying stream for each post code you select — a Mechanical engineer cannot apply for the Civil-only post code.
