Physical Standards & Fitness Requirements
The selection process has three main stages: the Written Test, the Physical Standard Test (PST) with Document Verification (DV), and finally, the Physical Efficiency Test (PET).
1. Physical Standard Test (PST)
Candidates must meet these minimum physical measurements to move forward:

2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) – Running
If you pass the physical measurements, you will move on to the running test. While this is purely qualifying, failing to finish within the time limit means instant disqualification.
- Male Candidates: Run 4.8 Kilometers in under 25 minutes.
- Female Candidates: Run 2.4 Kilometers in under 14 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. When can I download my UP Police Constable Admit Card 2026?
The download links went live on June 4, 2026. However, to keep the servers running smoothly, the board is releasing the cards in phases, exactly 3 days before your scheduled exam date.

No! Under the updated rules for the 2026 cycle, there is no negative marking. You get 2 marks for a correct answer, and zero points are deducted for wrong answers.

No. The board does not accept any requests to change the exam date, shift, or center. These are allocated automatically by a system designed to balance candidate distribution across districts.

You must bring a physical printout of your admit card, a valid government-issued photo ID (like Aadhaar or PAN), and two recent passport-size photos.
Q5. What should I do if the official website isn't loading?
With millions of candidates online, the site might experience temporary slowdowns. If it times out, wait a few minutes and refresh, or try logging in during off-peak hours (late at night or early in the morning).
Q6. Will a digital copy of the admit card on my phone be accepted?
No. Digital copies on phones or tablets are strictly prohibited. You must present a physical, printed copy on A4 paper.

Wear simple, comfortable clothes. Avoid outfits with large buttons, heavy embroidery, or metal pieces. Do not wear shoes with thick soles or high heels—simple slippers or sandals are best.

While you need to score high enough to beat the competition and make the merit list, the baseline passing score is generally around 35% in aggregate, depending on normalization and category cutoffs.
Q11. Will the final scores be normalized?
Yes. Because the exam is held in multiple shifts over three days, the board will use a statistical normalization formula to ensure fair scoring across different sets of question papers.

Call the official toll-free helpline at 1800-911-0005 or email upprpb.support@csccloud.in to get an emergency verification slip before exam day.
Strategic Tips for Exam Day
With no negative marking this year, your strategy needs to adapt.
How to Manage Your Time:
Don't get stuck on tough math problems early on. Use a two-step approach:
- Step 1: Answer all the straightforward questions in General Hindi and General Knowledge first (aim to finish these in 45 minutes). This locks in your easy points.
- Step 2: Spend the remaining 75 minutes on Reasoning and Math. Just make sure to bubble in an answer for every single question before time runs out!
In these final days, focus your revision on high-yield topics like UP Special GK, basic Indian Polity (the Constitution), and key Hindi grammar rules. Stay calm, get plenty of sleep the night before, and head to your center early. Good luck!
