The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) is all set to conduct the massive constable recruitment examination starting June 8. This follows the successful completion of the home guard recruitment test held last week. The upcoming exam aims to fill 32,679 constable and equivalent posts, with officials estimating participation from over 40 lakh candidates. This makes it one of the largest recruitment drives in the state.
Post-Wise Vacancy Details
The vacancies under this recruitment include 10,469 positions in civil police, 15,131 in PAC or armed police, 1,341 in special security force, 2,282 in women battalions, 71 in mounted police, and 3,385 jail warder posts (including 106 for women). Officials clarified that certain categories such as PAC, special security force, and mounted police are open only to male candidates.
Previous Home Guard Exam Success
The board recently conducted the home guards’ recruitment exam from April 25 to 27 for over 41,000 posts. Around 19.29 lakh candidates appeared across more than 1,000 centers in 74 districts. Authorities reported that strict surveillance and anti-cheating measures ensured a fair and transparent process, effectively curbing solver gangs and organized malpractice. Building on that experience, the board has begun extensive preparations for the June exam, which is being described as its “real test” due to the sheer scale of participation.
Enhanced Security and Monitoring
Enhanced security arrangements, coordination with district administrations, and deployment of advanced monitoring systems are being planned to prevent any irregularities. Officials advised candidates to regularly check the official UPPRPB website for updates regarding examination schedules, admit cards, and subsequent stages such as document verification, physical standard test (PST), and physical efficiency test (PET).
