Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment Board Concludes Major Technical Hiring Drive
The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) officially announced the conclusive selection outcomes for the direct recruitment of Computer Operator Grade-A positions (2023) on Saturday. This declaration effectively brings closure to an extensive, year-long recruitment procedure that attracted substantial attention from job seekers across the state.
Final Merit List Published Online
According to the official board statement, the comprehensive selection process for all 930 advertised posts has now reached its conclusion. The definitive list of successful candidates has been published and is accessible for viewing on the board's primary official portal at uppbpb.gov.in. This final result encompasses selections made across every reserved and unreserved category as per government regulations.
Detailed Category-Wise Selection Breakdown
The recruitment drive witnessed significant selection numbers across various social categories. From the unreserved category, a minimum of 218 candidates have been successfully selected. For the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category, which had 249 advertised posts, an impressive 468 candidates were chosen. This higher number is attributed to the application of reservation policies and necessary adjustment norms.
Similarly, for the Scheduled Caste (SC) category, 234 candidates secured selection against 193 originally advertised posts. In the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category, 10 candidates were selected against 16 available posts. The board also implemented vacancy adjustments as per established rules; specifically, six candidates from the SC category were accommodated against ST vacancies due to the non-availability of eligible ST candidates meeting the required criteria.
Notable Female Representation Achieved
A noteworthy highlight from this recruitment cycle is the successful clearance of 142 women candidates through the rigorous selection process. This marks a considerable and positive representation of female candidates in the final merit list, reflecting broader inclusivity efforts within government technical recruitment.
Next Steps for Selected Candidates
Board officials have clarified that detailed instructions concerning the subsequent mandatory formalities will be disseminated separately. These include crucial steps such as document verification, medical examination, character verification, and final appointment procedures. All relevant communications will be issued through the board's official website and established communication channels to ensure transparency and timely information dissemination.
Recruitment Process Timeline and Statistics
The recruitment initiative attracted an overwhelming response, with a total of 101,396 applicants registering for the examination. This staggering number underscores the intense competition and high demand for technical government positions in Uttar Pradesh.
The selection process followed a structured multi-stage approach:
- Written Examination: After the initial written test, objections were formally invited on the provisional answer key. Following a meticulous review conducted by multiple panels of subject matter experts, the final answer key was officially released on December 10, 2025, concurrently with the declaration of the written examination results.
- Computer Typing Test: Candidates who qualified in the written examination were shortlisted strictly based on merit and reservation norms for the subsequent computer typing test. This practical test was conducted in two distinct phases: from December 21 to 24, 2025, and on January 18-19, 2026.
- Document Verification: The final stage involved document verification for candidates who cleared the typing test, which was successfully completed on January 29-30, 2026.
This systematic and transparent process ensured a fair and comprehensive evaluation of all candidates, culminating in the final selection results now made public.
