Competitive Exam Details

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) Constable exam is an absolute juggernaut in the realm of state-level recruitment. Conducting an exam for the largest single police force in the world comes with staggering administrative numbers; recent recruitment cycles have seen upwards of 4.5 to 5 million candidates fiercely competing for roughly 60,000 vacancies. This exam offers 12th-pass candidates from across the state—and the country—an incredibly prestigious and secure opportunity to don the Khaki uniform and serve in maintaining law and order, crime prevention, traffic management, and public safety across India's most populous and dynamic state.

The recruitment blueprint is stringent, heavily monitored to prevent malpractice, and highly competitive. It traditionally begins with an OMR-based offline written examination. The written test is worth a total of 300 marks and consists of 150 objective-type questions spread evenly across four crucial segments: General Knowledge, General Hindi, Numerical & Mental Ability, and Mental Aptitude/IQ/Reasoning Ability. Candidates are allotted exactly 120 minutes to navigate this expansive syllabus. The inclusion of General Hindi is a significant differentiator, acting as a massive, high-yield scoring area for native speakers. Furthermore, the Mental Aptitude section is unique as it specifically tests police-oriented situational judgment, ethics, rule of law, and basic administrative logic.

Following the written exam, candidates who make the cut-off must clear Document Verification (DV) and a Physical Standard Test (PST) to ensure their height, weight, and chest measurements meet the strict police criteria. The final hurdle before the medical test is the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which is a pure test of stamina: it requires male candidates to complete a 4.8 km run in under 25 minutes, and female candidates to run 2.4 km in under 14 minutes. Securing a UP Police Constable position provides immense societal respect at the grassroots level, a solid starting salary under the state government matrix, lifelong pension and healthcare benefits, and the deep pride of serving the community.

Q1: Can candidates from states other than Uttar Pradesh apply for this exam?
A1: Yes, candidates from all across India are eligible to apply. However, candidates hailing from other states will be considered strictly under the Unreserved (General) category, meaning they cannot claim any caste, category, or domicile-based age or mark relaxations.
Q2: What is the age limit, and are there relaxations available?
A2: Generally, the base age limit for male candidates is 18 to 22 years, and 18 to 25 years for females. Candidates belonging to OBC, SC, and ST categories who possess a valid UP domicile receive a standard 5-year age relaxation. (Note: Age limits are sometimes extended by the government via special notifications).
Q3: What are the physical height requirements for UP Police Constable?
A3: For male candidates (General/OBC/SC), the minimum height requirement is 168 cm, whereas for ST males it is relaxed to 160 cm. For female candidates (General/OBC/SC), the minimum height is strictly 152 cm, and for ST females, it is 147 cm.
Q4: Is there negative marking in the UP Police written exam?
A4: Yes. Each correct answer awards 2 full marks, but there is a harsh negative marking penalty of 0.5 marks for every incorrect answer. This means pure guesswork can heavily damage a candidate's chances of clearing the high merit list.
