Objections are accepted only through the official online portal — offline or emailed challenges will be rejected.
You must log in using your Registration Number and Date of Birth / Password.

With 32,679 vacancies against 20 lakh-plus applicants, competition is sharp, and "kitne marks chahiye" is the question on every aspirant's mind. Because the exam ran across multiple shifts, scores will be adjusted through a normalisation process before the final cut-off is fixed.
Based on early expert analysis, the predicted UP Police Constable cut-off 2026 is: General 234–240, OBC 228–232, EWS 226–230, SC 220–222, and ST 214–218 marks. Some platforms project a more conservative band (General around 185–195), so treat all numbers as indicative. The official cut-off is released only along with the UP Police Constable Result 2026 and depends on vacancies, applicant volume, and paper difficulty.
Previous-year cut-off (for reference):
| Year | General | OBC |
| 2019 | 185.34 | 172.32 |
| 2018 | 225.03 | 216.74 |
The General cut-off fell from 225.03 in 2018 to 185.34 in 2019, largely on the back of more vacancies that cycle.
Once you have your response sheet and the official key:
Count your correct answers and award the marks set for each.
Apply the negative marking for wrong answers (as per the marking scheme).
Unattempted questions carry no marks.
Total it up to get your expected score, then benchmark it against the expected cut-off and previous trends.
A safe score comfortably above the General band sharply improves your odds of clearing the written stage and progressing to the physical tests.
The drive fills 32,679 Constable posts. Applicants needed to have passed Class 12 (or equivalent). The age limit was 18–28 years for male and 18–31 years for female candidates, with 1 July 2025 as the cut-off date (UPPRPB also notified an additional age relaxation for eligible aspirants).
Selection stages, in order:
Written Examination (qualified via final answer key)
Document Verification (DV)
Physical Standard Test (PST)
Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
Medical Examination
Final Merit List
The board will first dispose of all objections, then release the final answer key (expected first week of July 2026). The UP Police Constable Result 2026 is anticipated in the mid-to-late July window, published with the category-wise cut-off and merit list on uppbpb.gov.in. Candidates clearing the cut-off advance to DV and the physical stages. Keep checking the official site so you don't miss the result notice.
