The UP Police Constable Recruitment Exam was initially scheduled to take place on February 17 and 18, 2024. However, due to a paper leak, the exam was cancelled. Following this, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ordered a re-examination, ensuring that the recruitment process would be conducted within six months in a transparent manner.
A total of 1,174 examination centres were set up across 67 districts for the retest, with Additional District Magistrates (ADMs) and Additional Superintendents of Police (ASPs) appointed as nodal heads to oversee the process.
Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for updates regarding the release of the answer key and any further instructions related to the exam.
