UP Police Constable Syllabus and Exam Pattern

Selection stages from form to joining

1. Written examination: 150 multiple choice questions on an OMR sheet. Your rank comes from these marks.
2. Document verification and Physical Standard Test (PST): certificates are checked and height, chest (men) and weight (women) are measured.
3. PET: a race against the clock that must be finished; it adds nothing to your score.
4. Medical examination: fitness check before appointment.

Since the physical stages only filter, every extra mark in the written test moves you up the merit list. The cut off page for UP constables shows how written marks become a final selection.

UPP exam pattern for the written test

At 2 marks a question and 120 minutes for the lot, you get a little under a minute for every item. Recent UPPRPB constable papers were reported to take away 0.5 mark per incorrect bubble (your notification has the final word), so mark a shaky answer only after eliminating a pair of options.

General Knowledge topics

• History of India, including the freedom struggle
• Indian Constitution, polity and public administration
• Geography of India and natural resources
• Indian economy, agriculture, commerce and trade, banking
• Population, environment and urbanisation
• Science and technology in daily life
• Current national and international events, international organisations
• Uttar Pradesh: education, culture, social customs, land revenue system and administration
• Internal security, terrorism, human rights
• Cyber crime, social media communication and money laundering
• Laws and schemes for the protection of women and children

The UP specific and policing topics are where many aspirants lose easy marks, because general GK books treat them briefly.

General Hindi topics

This section tests standard Hindi grammar and some literature, at roughly the level of class 10 to 12 Hindi.

• Opposite and similar words (vilom and paryayvachi)
• One word for a phrase, tatsam and tadbhav words
• Gender, number, correct spellings and sentence correction
• Sandhi, samas, upsarg and pratyay
• Idioms and proverbs (muhavare and lokoktiyan)
• Alankar, ras and chhand basics
• Famous Hindi writers, poets and their works
• Unseen passage with questions

Numerical and Mental Ability topics

• Whole numbers, fractions and decimals, simplification
• LCM, HCF and square roots
• Ratio and proportion, percentage, average
• Profit and loss, discount, simple and compound interest, partnership
• Work and wages, pipes and cisterns, trains and speed
• Mensuration of basic figures
• Mental ability items: logical diagrams, symbol and relationship questions, coding, word formation, direction sense, letter and number series

The arithmetic is at school level. Speed comes from knowing multiplication tables and squares till 30 by heart, plus quick percentage to fraction conversions.

Mental Aptitude, IQ and Reasoning topics

This section mixes two things. The mental aptitude part asks about situations a constable faces: public interest, law and order, communal harmony, crime control, rural policing, social awareness, adaptability, emotional intelligence and decision making. The IQ and reasoning part covers analogies, similarities and differences, classification of words and figures, spatial visualisation, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetic reasoning and number or figure series.

For the aptitude questions, pick the option that is lawful, calm and protects the public, rather than the most forceful one.

Physical standards and the race

Start running practice early. Plenty of aspirants pass the paper yet falter on the track, simply because training began only after the result.

A 12 week plan for the UP police constable syllabus

• Weeks 1 to 4: arithmetic basics daily (45 minutes), Hindi grammar rules, and Indian polity and history for GK.
