Written Examination Details
Candidates whose applications are found to be valid will be required to appear for the written examination.
Exam Pattern
- The exam will consist of a single objective-type question paper based on General Knowledge.
- Total Questions: 100
- Total Marks: 100
- Duration: 2 hours (120 minutes)
- Marking Scheme: Each question carries one mark
- Candidates scoring less than 25 per cent in the written examination will be declared disqualified.
The written examination may be conducted in a single shift on one day or across multiple shifts and days, with different question papers, as decided by the UPPRPB. The exam will be held using an OMR-based system.
Each question will have four multiple-choice options. Candidates must select the most appropriate answer by completely filling only one circle on the OMR answer sheet using a blue or black ballpoint pen. Any marking, overwriting, or filling of more than one option will be treated as an incorrect response. The use of whitener, eraser, or blade is strictly prohibited, and answers once marked cannot be changed.
If more than one option for a question is found to be correct, candidates marking any one of the correct options will be awarded full marks. However, no marks will be awarded if more than one option is selected.
The OMR answer sheet will have three copies:
- The original copy will be used for scanning
- The second copy will be retained by the UPPRPB for records
- The third copy will be given to the candidate.
If a candidate takes the original OMR copy away from the examination centre, their candidature will be cancelled automatically.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
Candidates who qualify district-wise in the document verification and physical standard test will be called for the Physical Efficiency Test, which will be of qualifying nature.

- 4.8 km run to be completed within 28 minutes
