MP Patwari Syllabus 2026: Subject-wise Topics and Study Plan
The MP Patwari syllabus covers eight subjects tested in one online paper of 200 marks, conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Employees Selection Board (MPESB). This page follows the 2026 cycle, where the Patwari posts form a special recruitment for candidates with disabilities within the Group-02 Sub-Group-04 Combined Recruitment Test 2026.
MPESB names the subjects in its rule book but does not publish a topic-wise syllabus. The topic lists below are built from the official subject names and from questions asked in previous years. Use them as a working checklist, not as an official list. You will also find what to start with in each subject, where the two parts overlap, and a phased plan to finish the syllabus with time left for mocks.

Key Changes to Know
Two-part paper: The paper is split into Part A and Part B, 100 marks each, under the combined Group-02 Sub-Group-04 structure.
General Management is a full subject: Many older pages leave it out, but it is named in the 2026 rule book.
Village economy topics are not separate: Some older syllabus pages list Hindi, computer, GK, quantitative aptitude and village economy as five subjects. That is an older structure, so follow the 2026 rule book.
Shorter answering time: The 2026 shift timings allow 2 hours, compared with the 3 hours reported for 2023.
MP Patwari Syllabus for Part A
Section | Topics to cover | Start with |
|---|---|---|
General Science | Motion, force, energy, light, sound, electricity; acids, bases, salts, metals and non-metals; cells, human body systems, nutrition, diseases; environment and pollution; everyday science | Human body and everyday science |
General Hindi | Sandhi, samas, upsarg and pratyay, synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitution, idioms and proverbs, sentence correction, spelling, ras, chhand and alankar, unseen passage | Vocabulary and sentence correction |
General English | Tenses, voice, narration, subject-verb agreement, articles and prepositions, synonyms, antonyms, one-word substitution, idioms, error detection, sentence improvement, cloze test, comprehension | Error detection and vocabulary |
General Mathematics | Number system, HCF and LCM, simplification, percentage, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, ratio and proportion, average, time and work, time and distance, ages, partnership, mensuration, basic algebra and geometry, data interpretation | Percentage, ratio and average |
In Part A, mathematics and the two language papers reward daily practice more than reading. Percentage-based arithmetic feeds profit and loss, interest and data interpretation, so it pays to master it first.

Overlap Between Subjects

Science and technology | General Science | Science and technology current affairs, computer basics | Keep one set of notes for science and tech |
Governance | Not covered | Polity, Panchayati Raj, General Management, e-governance | Study polity and management together |
Is There an Interview Syllabus?
No. The MP Patwari selection has no interview. After the written test, selection moves to merit, district allotment, counselling with document verification and a medical check, so the written paper decides your rank.
