Will there be age relaxation this time also? Before filling the form, read this new rule of constable recruitment:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Preparations are going on for new recruitment on thousands of constable posts by Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB). Wearing a police uniform is the dream of every youth preparing for a government job in a state like Uttar Pradesh. But it is often seen that due to delay of just a few months, many capable candidates become ‘overage’ and are left out of the examination.

What is the mathematics of age limit this time?

Generally speaking, the age for constable in UP Police is between 18 to 22 or 25 years (male/female). But in last year’s recruitment, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on the huge demand of the youth, 3 years additional relaxation Had given. This is the reason why students are holding high hopes for the recruitment of 2025 whether they will get relaxation this time too or not.

Expected Age Limit for Candidates (Category-wise Expected Age):

• General Category (Male): Generally the age is 18 to 22 years (may increase if relaxation is available).
• General Category (Women): 18 to 25 years.
• OBC/SC/ST: These reserved categories are classified in age as per the rules of Uttar Pradesh Government. 5 years relaxation Is given.

Keep these things in mind before recruitment

The official notification of recruitment is going to come soon on the website of the board. Candidates are advised to keep their documents ready. Age is calculated on the basis of high school marksheet only, so do not make any mistake while filling the form.

Often students start studying after the recruitment is out, but if you want khaki uniform, then you will have to start preparation from today itself because the competition is going to be with lakhs of candidates. The way crores of applications were received in the last examination, it is clear that this time also the cut-off is going to be quite good.

What is the way forward?

At present, the notices and rules shared by the board regarding age are based on the old pattern. A large section of youth is already demanding age relaxation on social media so that those who lost their time due to Covid and long delays can also get a chance.

Now it has to be seen how much relief the government gives to the youth when the full recruitment schedule comes. Keep visiting the official website of the board for moment-to-moment updates and do not leave any slack in your preparation.
