Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment: Candidates Demand Age Limit Relaxation

Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment Announcement

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has revealed plans to fill over 32,000 police constable positions across the state. In light of this announcement, many young individuals in Uttar Pradesh are urging the state government to consider extending the maximum age limit for applicants. A significant number of candidates have taken to social media, advocating for a three-year extension to the age limit, citing that the recruitment process has been stalled since 2018, causing many to surpass the current age restrictions.

Moreover, these candidates highlight that the age limit for constable recruitment in other states is comparatively more lenient than that in Uttar Pradesh.
