The MSPSTET notification 2026 is the single document that settles every argument about dates, fees and eligibility. Social media posts quote it, coaching channels screenshot it, and half the confusion in this cycle comes from candidates reading an old notification or an edited screenshot instead of the real PDF.

This page explains what the notification contains, where to download the authentic copy, and which sections you must read yourself before applying.

What the MSPSTET Notification Contains
The notification PDF is a short document, but it is dense. These are the sections that matter to you:
- Important dates table — application window, fee payment date, correction window and exam date. This is the first table in the document and the one that gets amended by separate extension notices.
- Post and level details — which levels the examination covers and how the papers are structured.
- Eligibility conditions — the list of teacher categories permitted to appear, which is the most misunderstood part of this cycle.
- Age limit and relaxation — the reference date and the applicable relaxation clause.
- Application fee — the amount, the portal charge and the accepted payment methods.
- Exam pattern — sections, number of questions, marks and duration.
- Instructions for filling the form — photograph specification, signature, self-declaration template and upload limits.
How to Download the MSPSTET Notification PDF
- Open esb.mp.gov.in.
- Go to the current examinations or what’s new section on the home page.
- Find the entry for the Primary and Secondary School Teachers State Eligibility Test.
- Use the download notification link to save the PDF to your device.
- Also check for a separate date extended or corrigendum notice. Extensions are published as standalone PDFs, and the main notification is rarely edited to reflect them.
Notification vs Extension Notice: Why It Matters
In the 2026 cycle the last date moved from 4 September to 18 September and then to 5 October. The original notification PDF still showed the earlier date at the time of each change, because MPESB publishes extensions separately.
The practical rule: whenever you see a date on social media, look for the extension notice, not the notification. If there is no extension PDF, the original date stands. This is exactly why candidates who were waiting for a third extension ran out of time in previous cycles.

How to Tell If a Notification Copy Is Genuine
- Check the URL. An authentic PDF is hosted on esb.mp.gov.in, not on a file-sharing link or a messaging app attachment.
- Check the date on the PDF. Notification date and publication date should match the announced cycle.
- Check the footer. Official MPESB notices carry the Board’s details and a page number sequence.
- Cross-check one number. Verify the fee or the last date against the official website. If a forwarded PDF disagrees with the site, the site is right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download the MSPSTET notification 2026 PDF?
The notification PDF is available on the official MPESB website at esb.mp.gov.in under the current examinations section. Download it there rather than from a forwarded link so that you get the authentic version.
MSPSTET notification 2026 kab aaya?
The notification for the 2026 cycle was released in mid-August 2026, with the application window opening on 21 August 2026 and the examination scheduled for 12 October 2026.
Kya MSPSTET ki last date badhi hai?
Yes. The application last date was extended more than once in the 2026 cycle, moving from 4 September to 18 September and finally to 5 October 2026. Extensions are published as separate notices on the official website.
What is the difference between the notification and the extension notice?
The notification is the original document containing dates, eligibility and fees. An extension notice is a separate PDF issued later that changes a specific date. Both must be read together, because the notification itself is usually not edited.
Does the MSPSTET notification mention the number of vacancies?
No. MSPSTET is a state eligibility test rather than a post-based recruitment, so post-wise vacancy figures belong to separate teacher recruitment notifications issued by the department.
