The blue stage is the one happening now; a stage outlined in blue is the next to start, with its date. A stage turns red — Closed — once its last date has passed. Green means you have finished every step in it.
Key dates
The medical exam and character verification: by the appointing authority, not dated. Your normalised marks: on the board's site in the third and fourth weeks of November 2026. The next drive: not announced.
One tap puts every UP Police date into your phone's calendar. A new date appears there by itself, so you don't have to keep checking.

Sign in black ink on white paper, inside a 50 mm × 20 mm box, in running letters — not block letters. The file is a JPG of 30 KB to 50 KB, 50 mm × 20 mm or 140 × 60 pixels. Add a photo of it in the box at the top of this page and we size it.
It must be your own signature, nobody else's.

The form takes your photo live, with a webcam or another device. No cap, and nothing covering your face — mask, hair, cloth, shadow or jewellery. With spectacles, no reflection: your eyes must be clearly seen. Not blurred, no glare.
Wearing any uniform gets the form rejected — and wearing one at any later stage takes you out of the selection. If the live photo doesn't match your Aadhaar photo, you fill a declaration in the form.

Every step of the One Time Registration is compulsory. You need a unique e-mail ID and mobile number, which can't be changed later, and a DigiLocker account for verification. Then log in with your account ID and password, Aadhaar or DigiLocker to fill the form.

Your post comes from your written merit and the order of preference in your form, so list the posts in the order you want them.
Men choose among Civil Police, PAC/Armed Police, Mounted Police, Special Security Force and Jail Warder.
Women choose among Civil Police, the Women Battalions and Jail Warder.

Upload your education, reservation, age-relaxation and domicile certificates with the form — through DigiLocker where they are there, scanned where not. Only what you upload is checked, and nothing is accepted after the last date.
Reservation is only for UP's natives, so you need a domicile certificate too — the address on a caste certificate doesn't count.
Your OBC certificate must be in UP's format — one valid for central government services isn't accepted — issued from 1 April 2025 to the last date.
Your EWS certificate must be issued by the last date, valid for the financial year 2025-2026.

The board gave one chance to modify the form, from 31 January 2026 to 3 February 2026, under Application History → Modify Details. Details fetched from your OTR and the uploaded photo couldn't be changed, and once you pressed Update there was no second chance.

Use only a black or blue ball-point pen. Your question booklet number and OMR sheet number must match — if not, tell the invigilator at once. A missing or wrong booklet number on the sheet means it isn't checked.
Darken one circle fully for each answer: a mark on another circle makes the answer wrong. Whitener, eraser and blade are not allowed, and an answer can't be changed. At the end, hand the sheet over and take only the candidate's copy.

Bring the original documents your admit card lists, and one self-attested copy of each. The committee matches them with what you filled and uploaded: a certificate not meeting the rules is not accepted, and a forged one cancels your candidature.
Ex-servicemen: you must have had that status by the last date to apply.
In government service? You uploaded a No Objection Certificate with the form.

Give the committee your reasons on the day of your test, yourself or through someone — not by post or e-mail. You may get another date, the reserve day at the latest, and only one more chance. After the reserve day there is no chance at all — not for pregnancy, not for any reason.

Among those who passed the DV/PST and the run, the board selected by normalised written marks and the order of preference in the form, under UP's reservation rules. Equal marks go to the preferential qualification, then the older candidate, then the first letter of the name in English. There is no waiting list.
Check your result on uppbpb.gov.in with your registration number and date of birth.

Your selection still depends on the appointing authority's medical exam, and on your educational and reservation certificates and your character verification being found right.

Questions
When is the next UP Police Constable drive?
The board hasn't announced one. When it does, this page moves to it — add the dates to your calendar above and the new ones appear there.
Do the DV/PST and the run add to my marks?
No. They only qualify; your merit is your normalised written marks.
Can a pregnant candidate take the run later?
No. The board gives no chance after the last date or the reserve day — not for pregnancy, not for any reason.
Can I use my height from an earlier drive?
No. Only the committee's measurement in this drive counts — not an earlier drive's, and not one taken anywhere else.
