The New Indian Express Villupuram
|March 04, 2026
AN alleged recruitment examination fraud has surfaced in Madhya Pradesh in the MP Excise Constable Recruitment Test 2024, conducted by the state Employee Selection Board (ESB) at a centre in Ratlam.
Before declaring the results of the online examination on February 5, 2026, the ESB analysed the performance data of candidates who had secured unusually high marks. The scrutiny identified 12 candidates with exceptionally high scores, though many of these had recorded comparatively low marks in the earlier MP State Police Recruitment Test.
