The written exam, conducted on August 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31, 2024, resulted in 1,74,316 candidates being shortlisted for the DV/PST phase—about 2.5 times the number of available positions.

Over 48 lakh candidates applied for 60,244 constable posts across various UP Police wings.
The results were declared on Nov 21, 2024, setting the cutoff marks for each category.

Candidates who successfully clear the DV/PST will move on to the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), scheduled for the third week of Jan 2025.
The recruitment process follows a thorough and transparent approach. After the initial exam, the UPPRPB published question papers and answer keys between Sept 11 and 19, inviting objections from candidates. The objections were reviewed, and necessary adjustments were made. The OMR answer sheets were scanned under tight security, with CCTV cameras and live monitoring deployed throughout the process.
