Change in UP Police Home Guard recruitment physical test schedule; the run will now begin on September 14..

The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has revised the schedule for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET)—specifically the running event—for the UP Police Home Guard Recruitment 2025. UPPRPB took this decision considering the safety and convenience of candidates and the fairness of the examination in light of the continuous rainfall across the state; consequently, the running event for the recruitment will not commence on September 8. The Board has clarified that the running event will now begin on September 14.

Let us understand the details of the situation, the new schedule for the physical test, the instructions for candidates who had already downloaded their admit cards, and the locations where the physical tests are being conducted.

These revised admit cards will be available for download on the Board's official website.

**What is the running requirement? ****
For the UP Home Guard recruitment, male candidates must complete a 4.8-kilometer run within 28 minutes, while female candidates must complete a 2.4-kilometer run within 16 minutes. The running tests will be conducted in two shifts daily: the first shift will begin at 5:00 AM, and the second shift will start at 6:00 AM.

**Chips attached to candidates' legs will track performance**
Chips attached to the candidates' legs will track their performance during the UP Home Guard recruitment run. Chips have been used in UP Home Guard recruitment runs since 2016. Under this system, a band containing a computer chip is strapped to the candidate's leg. This chip counts every step taken while running and records data such as the distance covered and the duration of any pauses. Additionally, the chip allows the candidate's location to be monitored on a computer.
