CM Yogi had earlier assured the public that this police recruitment examination would set a new standard in transparency and fairness, unlike any other in the state’s history. He had committed to a recruitment process free from bias, interference, and corruption, with no room for anarchic or criminal elements to jeopardize the future of the state’s youth.
Examination was conducted in 2 phases for 5 days
The written examination for 60,244 police constable posts in Uttar Pradesh was successfully conducted across all districts in two phases per day over five days. Under the visionary leadership and efficient guidance of CM Yogi, meticulous arrangements were made to ensure that candidates faced no inconvenience during the examination process. To maintain security and integrity, 1,97,859 police personnel were deployed at examination centers statewide, and the use of CCTV equipped with artificial intelligence effectively deterred solver gangs and other disruptive elements.
In the state capital, Lucknow, the examination process was executed smoothly on a large scale, with examination centers operating in various parts of the city under tight security. Similar scenes of organized and secure examination environments were witnessed across every district, with candidates showing high spirits and enthusiasm.
A notable feature of this recruitment drive is the provision of 20 percent reservation for women in the police force, a move that has been widely praised by female candidates. This initiative, introduced by CM Yogi, not only aims to enhance the participation of women in the state’s police force but also empowers them to play an active role in maintaining law and order and combating unruly elements at the grassroots level. Many women candidates highlighted this significant step and expressed their appreciation for the Yogi government’s commitment to gender inclusivity in law enforcement.
