MPPSC Assistant Town Planner Recruitment 2026: 39 Vacancies for Urban Development Department

This role is ideal for individuals passionate about urban development, regional planning, and infrastructure, seeking a stable gazetted Group B position within the Madhya Pradesh state government. Graduates with a 4-year degree in Investment or Postgraduates (M.Plan) in various urban and regional planning disciplines, or those who have passed the A.I.T.P. examination, are suitable. Candidates should be meticulous, capable of data-driven planning, and adept at guiding subordinate staff. Native residents of Madhya Pradesh belonging to reserved categories or women will find age relaxations and specific reservations beneficial.

Individuals lacking the specific educational qualifications (especially B.E./M.E. in Transport/Transportation, which is explicitly excluded) should not apply. Those exceeding the maximum age limit of 40 years (or 45 with relaxations) as of January 1, 2027, will not be eligible. This is not suitable for those looking for a very high volume recruitment, as the total vacancies are 39. Candidates from outside Madhya Pradesh will be considered only under the unreserved category and will not receive age relaxations.

This is a Gazetted Class II (Group B) permanent position within the Madhya Pradesh state government, offering significant stability and a respectable pay scale. The role of an Assistant Town Planner is crucial for the planned development and growth of urban and regional areas, providing a strong platform for professional impact and long-term career progression in public service within Madhya Pradesh's Urban Development Department. While the number of vacancies is moderate, the prestige of a state government gazetted post is high.
