For those who don’t know, MPESB stands for Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board Earlier people used to call it Vyapam. Now it is known as Madhya Pradesh Employee Selection Board .

How to Pay?
You can pay through:
- Cash at e-Challan (go to any common service center or MP online center)
- Debit Card

- Net Banking
Important: If you are from General category but from another state (like UP, Bihar, Rajasthan), you will also pay ₹560. Only MP residents get the lower fee.

Friends, before applying, check your age carefully. The board has fixed the age limit as of 1st January 2026.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
As a common man, I have seen many people making silly mistakes. Please avoid these:
- Applying after 20th April 2026 – No extension is given usually.
- Uploading wrong photo – Use recent photo, not a selfie with sunglasses.
- Paying less fee – General category pays ₹560, not ₹310.
- Not checking age – If your age is above 40 on 01/01/2026, don’t apply.
- Forgetting to print confirmation – Always take a printout. It’s your proof.
