MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Exam 2026: Notification, Eligibility, Exam Pattern, Syllabus & Selection Process

The MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Exam 2026 needs a subject-specific checklist. Computer Science applicants must follow Advertisement 28/2025, match their postgraduate degree to the accepted qualifications, and use the revised examination calendar rather than dates for other subjects.

The key update is the 29 November 2026 written examination. The qualification cutoff is 1 October 2026, even for candidates using a later application window.

Last checked: 15 October 2026. This guide uses the official Computer Science notification and the 7 September 2026 corrigendum. Check for subsequent subject-specific amendments before applying or travelling.

MPPSC Assistant Professor Computer Science 2026: Overview

The official label is “Assistant Professor Exam 2025,” although the revised examination falls in 2026. Always match the advertisement number when checking notices: a Computer Science result from another recruitment does not establish this cycle’s status.

MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Notification and Vacancies

The Computer Science notification lists 29 vacancies. Its category distribution is:

The notification separately describes horizontal reservations and the main/provisional division. Do not add those subcolumns to the total. Read the reservation notes with your domicile and certificate position before deciding which category conditions apply.

Revised Important Dates and Application Status

The September corrigendum covers Zoology Advertisement 26/2025 and Computer Science Advertisement 28/2025. Its revised dates are:

As of 15 October, the ordinary application deadline has passed. The published schedule places this date within the ₹25,000 late-fee window; check the official application portal for availability and the complete payable amount before submitting. The late fee does not replace other applicable charges.

A late-fee application extends the submission opportunity, not the time available to earn the required qualification.

MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Eligibility 2026

Educational qualification and marks

The general requirement is a relevant, concerned or allied master’s degree with 55% marks, or the equivalent grade where applicable. The official subject table names Information Technology and Computer Application as allied subjects.

Listed qualifications include M.Sc. Computer Science, M.Sc. Information Technology, MCA, and specified M.Tech/M.E. degrees in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Information Technology. Match the exact degree title to the printed table. A qualification with a related syllabus is not automatically an officially accepted equivalent.

The advertisement provides marks relaxation for specified categories and disabilities, along with a separate provision for certain PhD holders whose master’s degree predates 19 September 1991. Apply a relaxation only after checking its clause and documentary requirements.

NET, SET and PhD requirements

Applicants must meet the prescribed NET or recognised equivalent condition unless an exemption applies. The notice accepts the Madhya Pradesh SET route; another state’s SET/SLET is not automatically acceptable under this advertisement.

A PhD exemption depends on the applicable UGC regulations and supporting evidence. Registration date, mode of study and university certification can matter. Do not assume that possessing a PhD settles every eligibility condition.

Age limit and qualification deadline

The normal age rule is 21 years completed but 40 years not completed on 1 January 2026, subject to applicable upper-age relaxations. The revised qualification deadline is 1 October 2026.

For example, a master’s result declared on 2 October falls one day after that deadline. A November late-fee application cannot repair that shortfall. Use the MPPSC eligibility checklist to organise evidence, but read its older worked dates alongside the September amendment.

MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Exam Pattern 2026

The revised notice confirms an offline, OMR-based examination in Indore, with two papers on the same day:

The original advertisement specifies objective questions and negative marking. The exact question counts, marks distribution and numerical deduction must be checked in the applicable separate official scheme and examination instructions; the September corrigendum does not print them.

Prepare for both sessions, including OMR accuracy. Practise transferring answers without losing question-number alignment, and follow the admit card’s reporting time rather than arriving at the paper’s start time.

MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Syllabus: What to Prepare

Retain the official syllabus PDF and its issue date. The preparation map below groups related subjects; it is not a substitute for the applicable official unit list.

Paper 1: General Studies

Organise Madhya Pradesh history, geography, politics and economy, tribes and cultural heritage, current affairs and ICT into separate revision sections. Use maps for geographical relationships, timelines for history and short recall cards for facts.

KnowledgeGate’s MPPSC Assistant Professor Paper 1 course has distinct General Studies, ICT and Current Affairs sections.

Paper 2: Computer Science

Study dependencies in order: discrete structures support algorithms; automata and grammars support compiler design; architecture helps explain operating-system behaviour. The Computer Science Paper 2 course provides corresponding subject sections. The paper-wise syllabus guide can help turn those sections into a revision sequence.

MPPSC Assistant Professor CS Selection Process

Selection follows five practical stages:

1. Application: submit the correct subject form and retain payment evidence.

2. Written examination: attend the objective OMR papers.

3. Shortlisting and scrutiny: written marks determine category-wise shortlisting; documents establish eligibility.

4. Interview: attend when called after scrutiny.

5. Final merit: selection uses written plus interview marks.

The notification provides an interview-call base of three times the relevant category’s advertised posts, including candidates tied at the boundary. Interview absence makes a candidate ineligible for selection.

An application acknowledgement or admit card does not guarantee final eligibility. Prepare date-of-birth proof, postgraduate certificates and mark sheets, grade-conversion evidence where needed, NET/SET or PhD-exemption documents, and prescribed category, domicile or disability certificates.
