UP Home Guard recruitment physical test schedule postponed again; UPPRPB to announce new dates soon..

There is a major update for candidates awaiting the UP Home Guard recruitment physical test for 2025. The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has postponed the proposed schedule for the Home Guard recruitment physical test. This means the physical test will no longer commence on September 14. This marks the second time the physical test schedule has been postponed; previously, the test was slated to begin on September 8 but was deferred, with September 14 announced as the new date.

Let us look at the reasons behind the UPPRPB's decision to postpone the UP Police Home Guard recruitment physical test, as well as the new dates and the locations where the tests are proposed to be held.

**Postponed Due to Rain**
The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has postponed the Physical Efficiency Test (PET)—or physical test—for the UP Police Home Guard recruitment (2025). Consequently, the test will not take place starting September 14. The UPPRPB decided to postpone the test due to the ongoing rainfall across the state. The earlier proposed date of September 8 had also been postponed for the same reason.

**UPPRPB to Announce New Dates Soon**
The UPPRPB will release a new schedule for the UP Police Home Guard recruitment physical test. Candidates have been informed that the official notification regarding the new dates—or the revised schedule—will be released soon via the official website. The UPPRPB is conducting recruitment for over 42,000 Home Guard positions.

**Physical Test Proposed at 15 Locations Across the State**
The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has planned to conduct the running test for Home Guard recruitment at 15 locations across the state. These running tests will be organized on a zonal basis at all 15 designated locations. According to the information, the running test for candidates in the Meerut Zone will be organized at the 6th Battalion PAC (Meerut) and 47th Battalion PAC (Ghaziabad). Meanwhile, in the Varanasi Zone, the run will be held for candidates at the 39th Battalion PAC (Mirzapur) and the Reserve Police Lines (Jaunpur).

The run will take place at the 4th Battalion PAC (Prayagraj) in the Prayagraj Zone and at the Reserve Police Lines (Sant Kabir Nagar) in the Gorakhpur Zone. Similarly, the run will be organized for candidates at the 45th Battalion PAC (Aligarh) in the Agra Zone; 33rd Battalion PAC (Jhansi) in the Kanpur Zone; 8th Battalion PAC (Bareilly) and 9th Battalion PAC (Moradabad) in the Bareilly Zone; and the 35th Battalion PAC (Lucknow), 32nd Battalion PAC (Lucknow), 25th Battalion PAC (Raebareli), 10th Battalion PAC (Barabanki), and 11th Battalion PAC (Sitapur) in the Lucknow Zone.
