UP Police Total Form Fill 2024: Cracking the UP Police Constable 2024 exam is expected to be more challenging this year, with approximately 50.14 lakh aspirants vying for 60,244 police constable vacancies as reported by senior police official.
The upcoming UP Police Constable 2024 examination, administered by the UPPRPB, is set to be held on August 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31, 2024. This year's competition is expected to be fierce due to question paper leak. Earlier, the exam was conducted on February 17 & 18 but it got cancelled due to paper leak.
Another reason for this is unexpected surge in applications. According to the statement given by a police officer to a leading news portal, a total of 50,14,924 candidates have registered for the UP Police Constable 2024 exam. Of these applicants, approximately 35 lakh are male candidates, while around 15 lakh are female candidates. This roughly translates to 8,324 candidates competing for each available position.

The reason behind this surge is the three-year age relaxation in the upper age limit. Earlier, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed Principal Secretary (Home) Sanjay Prasad to extend the upper age limit to 25 years from 22 years, providing a chance to aspirants who could not participate in the recruitment process due to COVID-19.
