UP Police Constable 2026: Application Closed, Exam Status and Next Steps

Quick answer

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) ran a large constable recruitment in the winter of 2025–26. Reports put the vacancies at about 32,679 across Civil Police, PAC, Special Security Force and Jail Warder cadres. Online applications opened on 31 December 2025, and the fee-payment deadline was reported as 2 February 2026. We did not find a new open application window for constable posts in October 2026. Check uppbpb.gov.in before you take any action.

What the reports say about the cycle

The exam dates above come from a single report. Do not repeat them as fact until the board confirms.

Who was eligible

Reports describe a 12th pass requirement for most constable posts, with a Hindi and computer knowledge rule in some cadres. The age limit and the relaxation depend on the category and the post. Read the notice for each cadre before you rely on any range.

What to check now

1. Open the board site. Go to uppbpb.gov.in and look at the recruitment notices and the results section.
2. Check the admit card. If the written exam ran in June, the admit card and the result notices will be in the same section.
3. Read the physical and document rules. Constable recruitment has a physical test and document verification after the written exam.
4. Watch for a new notification. UP police run recruitment in cycles. Set alerts on the board site, not on third-party sites.

How the process works

UP police constable recruitment usually has these stages:

• Written exam: Objective test, with a qualifying mark for each category.
• Physical efficiency test (PET): Running and other events, with fixed standards.
• Document verification: Certificates, domicile and category proof.
• Medical test: Fitness check at the end.

Confirm each stage in the notice for the cadre you applied for, because the rules differ.

Common mistakes

• Trusting a result link from an unofficial site. Only the board's site counts.
• Paying for a new form without a notice. No fee is due without an open window.
• Assuming the age limit is the same for every cadre. It depends on the post and the category.

Who should prepare for the next cycle

Prepare now if you have finished 12th and meet the education rule for constable posts. Constable exams have a written test, a physical test and document checks, so preparation should cover all three. Start the physical training early, because running and other events take months to build.

Wait for the notice before paying for a course, since the syllabus and the rules can change. Do not pay a fee to an unofficial site for a form that has not been notified.

Preparing for the written test

Constable written tests usually cover general knowledge, reasoning, maths, Hindi, and general awareness of Uttar Pradesh. Check the syllabus in the notice. Practise daily for the sections in the syllabus, and take a full mock each week. Keep a list of the topics you miss, and revise them before the next mock.

Preparing for the physical test

The physical test has fixed standards for running, long jump, and other events, with separate rules for men and women and for some categories. The board sets the standards in the notice. Start with a daily run and build up. Check the standards about four months before the test if you can.

Documents to keep ready

• 12th marksheet and certificate, and the 10th marksheet for the date of birth
• Domicile certificate, for UP candidates
• Caste certificate, if claimed, in the format the board accepts
• Photograph and signature in the size specified
• Any sports or NCC certificate, if the notice gives extra marks

Why the board site matters

Many third-party sites repeat old dates and vacancy figures. Only the board site can tell you whether a window is open, what the age rule is, and what the result or admit card status is. Use the board site as the reference for every decision.

Common mistakes

• Relying on a single exam-date report. Check the notice.
• Skipping the physical training. It can exclude you before the written result.
• Paying for a form without an open window. There is nothing to apply for until the notice is out.
