Today, Saturday, August 31, the Uttar Pradesh Police recruitment exam was held at 1,174 centres across 67 districts on the final day of the five-day exercise, which started last week on Saturday, August 24. This was stated in a report by PTI.

Senior administrative officials checked the exam centres to review the arrangements. According to officials, the exams are being conducted under strict security to ensure fairness.

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) stated that the exams are scheduled in two shifts each day for five days: August 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31.

This new recruitment drive aims to fill over 60,000 positions, as the previous exams planned for February 17 and 18 were cancelled owing to a paper leak scandal.

The UP State Transport Corporation is offering free bus services, including free rides on electric buses in various districts, for the candidates.
