The written exam was conducted in 10 shifts over five days, and the OMR sheets were scanned under CCTV surveillance. Results were declared in record time, with 1.74 lakh candidates qualifying for the next stage. Document verification (DV), physical standard tests (PST), and physical efficiency tests (PET) were conducted across all 75 districts and 12 PAC battalions using strict monitoring and RFID technology. The final list of 60,244 selected candidates was released on March 13. Candidates from every district of the state were selected--Agra had the highest number (2,349), while Shravasti had the fewest (25). Additionally, 1,145 candidates from other states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi were also selected. Representation was ensured across general, EWS, OBC, SC, and ST categories. The Yogi government has not only focused on recruitment but has also strengthened the training infrastructure. All selected candidates are undergoing high-tech training, and training centres' capacities have been expanded to ensure quality instruction. Conducted by the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board, this recruitment process is now being seen as a model of technological excellence and administrative efficiency. It has played a crucial role in turning youth aspirations into reality and exemplifies the government's commitment to 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.' CM Yogi Adityanath has consistently prioritised transparent recruitment and connecting youth with government employment opportunities. This process stands as a shining example of that policy, offering jobs to eligible candidates in record time through a fair and transparent system. Strengthening the police force is a landmark step toward enhancing law and order in the state. (ANI)
