Uttar Pradesh Home Guard recruitment and training plans

Overview

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPBPB) has released the final results for the 2025 Home Guard enrolment drive, filling 41,424 posts across 75 districts.

The recruitment process involved 2,532,196 applicants. Following written examinations in April 2026, 107,221 candidates were shortlisted for document verification and Physical Standard Tests (PST). The Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which had been delayed due to heavy rainfall, was ultimately conducted between September 15 and September 26, 2026.

Of the successful candidates, 8,290 are women and 439 are from the Scheduled Caste category, distributed across 50 districts. Selected individuals can verify their status on the official website, uppbpb.gov.in, using their registration number and date of birth.

As previously planned, the department is moving toward medical examinations, police verification, and a 90-day training program involving weapon handling with SLR rifles and 5.56 mm cartridges. Training is expected to begin in November to facilitate field deployment by February.
