The UP Police Constable PET 2026 schedule has been revised for candidates affected by a change at nine test centres. The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) issued a notice dated 29 September 2026. The Board’s official notice page confirms the publication of the PET-date notice on that date.
What happened?
The Physical Efficiency Test is being conducted as part of the direct recruitment process for Constable Civil Police and equivalent posts. The PET schedule covers 15 centres. According to the revised information, the candidates whose 1 October test was scheduled at nine centres will now take the test on 8 October 2026. The other six centres continue under the earlier arrangement. Independent reporting also confirms that revised admit cards were scheduled for upload on 30 September. citeturn0news10
Why it matters
This is an operational schedule change, so the most important action is not re-reading the entire recruitment notification. Candidates need to identify their centre, determine whether it is affected and then use the latest admit-card information for reporting. A candidate travelling according to an older schedule could reach the centre on the wrong day.

Nine centres affected
The revised arrangement reported for the 1 October schedule covers Fatehpur, Bareilly, Moradabad, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Azamgarh and Mirzapur. Candidates allotted to these centres should check the latest board notice and their individual admit-card information.
Six centres continuing under the earlier schedule
The remaining six centres are Prayagraj, Jhansi, Lucknow (two centres), Raebareli and Aligarh. Even where the schedule has not changed, candidates should follow their own admit card because reporting time and venue details are candidate-specific.
What candidates should do today
- Open the official UPPRPB website.
- Go to the latest notice/admit-card section.
- Check the centre printed on your admit card.
- If your centre is affected, download the revised admit card when available.
- Verify your name, roll number, date, reporting time and venue.
- Save a PDF copy and keep a printed copy if the instructions require it.
- Recalculate your travel plan around the revised reporting time.
Background of the recruitment stage
The PET is not the initial examination stage. The written examination was conducted earlier in the recruitment cycle, followed by the document review and physical-standard process for candidates who qualified. The current stage therefore concerns candidates who have progressed to the physical efficiency test. Reporting instructions and qualifying standards remain governed by the official recruitment notice.
Why the admit card matters more than social-media posts
Recruitment schedules can change through formal notices. Third-party websites may retain an older date even after a board issues a revised schedule. The safest information hierarchy is: latest UPPRPB notice → individual admit card → official candidate instructions. This is particularly important where a candidate’s centre determines the reporting date.
Travel and document planning
Candidates travelling from another district should plan for arrival before the reporting window rather than relying on the nominal test date alone. Keep original identification and any documents specifically required by UPPRPB ready. Avoid carrying documents that the board has not requested merely because an unofficial checklist mentions them.
Exam relevance
This update is also useful as recruitment current affairs. Remember UPPRPB, 15 centres, 9 revised centres, 8 October revised date and 30 September revised-admit-card update. These factual combinations are more likely to be useful in an examination than generic statements about recruitment.
