Eligibility checker: UP Police

A quick self-check from the official notice. It can say "likely eligible" — only the notification and the document verification decide.

These rules are from the 2025 recruitment, which has finished. The next advertisement may change them; we will update this checker when it is published.

Qualification checklist (official)

Tick off each one yourself. If any is unclear for your degree or diploma, the notification and the conducting body decide.

Essential qualification

Class 12 (intermediate) from a board established by law in India, or a government-recognised equivalent. It must be held when applying; candidates who have appeared or are appearing are not eligible.

Preferential qualification

Carries no marks; used only to break ties: DOEACC/NIELIT 'O' level computer certificate, or at least 2 years' service in the Territorial Army, or NCC 'B' certificate. Only one counts.
