MPESB Van Rakshak & Jail Prahari Answer Key 2026 — Overview

The Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB), earlier known as MP Vyapam, held the combined written exam for the Van Rakshak, Kshetra Rakshak, Jail Prahari and Assistant Jail Superintendent posts on 4 June 2026. The board has now released the provisional answer key on 22 June 2026. With this key you can match your answers, count the questions you likely got right, and get a fair idea of your score before the final result.

The provisional key is not the final word. MPESB gave candidates a short objection window to challenge any answer they felt was wrong, with supporting proof. After the board studies all objections, it releases the final answer key and then the result.

How the Objection Window Worked

MPESB opened the online objection window from 22 June to 25 June 2026. During these dates, a candidate who felt an answer was wrong could raise a challenge on the same portal and upload proof, such as a book page or an official source. A small fee per question was usually charged, and it is refunded if the objection is accepted. This window is now closed. The board will review every valid objection before it prepares the final answer key.

What Happens After the Answer Key

Once all objections are checked, MPESB publishes the final answer key and then the result with marks. The scores decide who moves ahead to the next stages, such as the physical test, document check and medical, as listed in the Rule Book. Keep your application number and date of birth safe, because you will need them to check the result. This page will point you to the official result link as soon as it is live.
