A major recruitment drive by the Uttar Pradesh Police is expected to bring relief to thousands of aspirants in the new year, with notifications for around 22,000 vacant posts likely to be issued soon.

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) had announced in early December that advertisements for several vacant posts would be issued in December. These include recruitment for Constable Civil Police, Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), Constable Special Security Force, PAC Women, Constable Armed Police, Jail Warder and Mounted Police.

The notification is expected to be published on the board’s official website uppbpb.gov.in.
