UP Police Constable PET 2026 Starts Today for 32,679 Posts: Admit Card, Dates and Running Test Details

The UP Police Constable Physical Efficiency Test (PET) 2026 begins today, 1 October 2026, marking the next major stage in the direct recruitment of Constable Civil Police and equivalent posts in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) published the PET schedule and admit-card notice on 24 September 2026. The recruitment drive covers 32,679 posts, making this one of the largest ongoing police recruitment exercises in the state.

Candidates reaching the PET stage have already passed the relevant earlier stages, including the written examination and the Document Verification/Physical Standard Test process. The Board's official website currently lists both the PET schedule notice and the PET admit-card download facility. Candidates should therefore rely on their individual admit card—not social-media posts—for their exact date, venue and reporting time.

UP Police Constable PET 2026: Important Dates

• PET begins: 1 October 2026
• Most districts: 1–7 October 2026
• Moradabad, Meerut and Ghaziabad centres: PET schedule may extend through 8 October 2026
• Reserve day for most districts: 7 October 2026
• Reserve day for Moradabad, Meerut and Ghaziabad: 8 October 2026

The Board issued the PET schedule notice on 24 September 2026. The exact date allotted to an individual candidate can differ, so candidates must follow the information printed on their hall ticket.

Running Standard for the PET

Under the notified physical-efficiency standard for this recruitment, male candidates must complete 4.8 km within 25 minutes, while female candidates must complete 2.4 km within 14 minutes. Candidates should report physically prepared and follow all instructions issued by officials at the PET venue. The test is a qualifying physical stage; candidates should not confuse it with the earlier Physical Standard Test, which checks prescribed physical measurements.

How to Download the UP Police PET Admit Card

1. Open the official UPPRPB website.
2. Look for the notice/link for the Physical Efficiency Test admit card under Constable Civil Police and equivalent posts direct recruitment 2025.
3. Open the candidate login and enter the required registration credentials.
4. Download the PET admit card and take a clear printout.
5. Check the PET date, centre, reporting time and candidate instructions carefully before leaving for the venue.

What Candidates Should Carry and Check

Carry the printed PET admit card and the identification/documents specifically required in the Board's instructions. Reach the venue according to the reporting time printed on the admit card. Candidates whose document verification was completed provisionally may be allowed to participate subject to the Board's final decision on their documents, so such candidates should closely follow any individual instructions.

Confirmed Facts vs Unofficial Claims

Confirmed: UPPRPB has published the PET dates and admit-card download information; PET begins on 1 October; the recruitment covers 32,679 posts; and the schedule runs through 7 October for most districts and through 8 October for the specified centres in Moradabad, Meerut and Ghaziabad.

Do not treat as confirmed: Any social-media claim about an early final-result date, revised merit cut-off or appointment date unless it appears in a subsequent UPPRPB notice. The Board has not made those items part of the PET schedule notice.

Why This Update Matters

For candidates who have reached this stage, the focus now shifts from written-exam preparation to completing the notified physical-efficiency requirement correctly. A missed reporting time or reliance on an outdated schedule can affect participation. Candidates should check the latest UPPRPB notices before travelling, particularly if their PET is scheduled later in the testing window.
