Union Home Minister Amit Shah, CM Yogi Adityanath to distribute appointment letters to 60244 candidates for UP Police constable recruitment

60244 candidates will receive the appointment letters at an event to be held at the Defence Expo Ground in Lucknow.

Out of the total 60244 posts for the direct recruitment of constables, 12048 are women. This is the first time a large number of women will get appointment letters in any security force.

In the last eight years, 8.50 lakh people got government jobs in UP.

With the help of police administration, 1174 examination centres were selected in 67 districts of the state for the Constable Recruitment Exam.

Sharing a video clip of one of the selected candidates on X, UP Police wrote, "One voice out of 60,000+ dreams. Behind every newly recruited constable in Uttar Pradesh is a story of merit, determination, and an exam process that left no room for doubt. This is a glimpse of that journey -- made possible by the unwavering commitment of the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment & Promotion Board, which conducted one of the largest, most transparent, and technology-driven recruitment drives in the country."
