MP Krashi Vistar Adhikari Recruitment 2026 – Quick Overview

Important Dates

Because the correction window closes only a few days after the last date to apply, it’s worth marking every date below on your calendar rather than relying on memory.

⚠️ Don’t wait for the last day. The MP Online portal tends to slow down sharply in the final 24–48 hours before a deadline this large. Submitting your form even a week early gives you room to fix errors during the correction window.

Vacancy Details

All 2,784 posts fall under the single cadre of Agriculture Extension Officer, to be posted across districts under the Directorate of Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development, Madhya Pradesh. Reservation benefits apply as per state government norms, with horizontal reservation for women, ex-servicemen, and persons with disabilities (PwD) built into the overall vacancy count. Category-wise breakup is available in the official rulebook — candidates should check the notification for their specific category allocation before applying.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

You need a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture or Horticulture from a recognised university or institution to apply for MP Krashi Vistar Adhikari Recruitment 2026. Make sure your qualification is complete as of the date you fill the application — MPESB does not accept applications from candidates awaiting final results.
