The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has received 15,75,760 applications for the sub-inspector (civil police) and equivalent posts under the “direct recruitment 2025” drive. The recruitment aims to fill 4,543 vacancies across different categories, including posts for women in the newly formed PAC battalions.According to the board, the notification was issued on August 12, and online applications were accepted till September 11. The available positions include 4,242 posts of sub-inspectors, 135 platoon commanders in PAC, 60 platoon commanders in the Special Security Force, and 106 women platoon commanders for the women PAC battalions in Budaun, Lucknow, and Gorakhpur.UPPRPB has started preparing for the written examination, which will be the first stage of the selection process. Officials confirmed that information on the exam schedule and centres will be released at least four weeks before the test.Rajasthan: 25 lakh apply for peon postEarlier this year, Rajasthan saw a similar surge when nearly 25 lakh people applied for 53,749 peon posts. The applicants included highly qualified candidates such as postgraduates, MBAs, and even PhD holders, all competing for jobs that required only a Class 10 qualification. The rush underlined how government vacancies remain a preferred option for educated youth despite the limited number of openings. The overwhelming response also created logistical challenges. With the state able to conduct exams for only about three lakh candidates at a time, officials had to plan for multiple shifts. This raised concerns over result normalisation, an issue that had triggered protests in past recruitments.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
