UP Home Guard Cut Off: District Wise Marks for Men and Women

How the home guard cut off is decided

Home Guard volunteers are enrolled for a particular district, so you compete only with applicants from your own district. Inside each district, seats are split by category (UR, EWS, OBC, SC, ST) and lines are published separately for men and women.

Because the written paper ran in six shifts over three days, the Board normalised raw scores before ranking. Where the notice allowed preferential qualification marks, those were added to the normalised score. The last person shortlisted in a row sets that row's cut off.

This happened twice: first to call candidates for document checking and the PST, and again for the final list after the PET and medical. The final line is usually a little higher than the shortlisting line, because more people are called for the physical stages than there are seats.

UP home guard cut off district wise: reported final figures

Lists released at the document and PST stage, as reported, showed lower lines in many districts: UR men roughly between 59 and 66, and ST rows far lower, sometimes close to the 25 mark floor where few ST candidates applied.

UP home guard cut off female candidates

In every district reported so far, the female line sat below the male line for the same category, often by about four to eight marks and sometimes more. Women compete for their own share of seats within each category, so a woman scoring 60 could be selected in a district where a man needed 66.

Do not read this as an easier route. Female cut offs still moved well above the qualifying floor, and the physical standards and running test for women must be cleared just the same.

The 25% rule versus the selection line

Anyone scoring below 25% in the written exam is out, whatever their category. That floor is fixed. The selection line is a moving number that comes from competition in your district.

Use the UP home guard syllabus to see where those extra six marks could come from: UP specific GK and current affairs are where most candidates drop points.

Nobody can promise a number in advance, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What you can do is judge the direction from four factors:

• Seats in your district: the latest enrolment had 41,424 posts, a very large intake. A smaller drive later would push lines up.
• Applicants per seat: big urban districts draw more candidates, but they also get more seats.
• Paper difficulty: an easier GK paper lifts everyone's marks and the line with them, even after normalisation.
• Preferential marks: where these apply, they can add a few marks to some candidates and nudge the line upward.

A practical target is to score at least five marks above your district's last UR line for your gender. If you are also applying for police posts, compare these lines with our constable cut off page for UP Police, which comes from a much tougher written paper.
