In a major employment boost for Uttar Pradesh, the state government is set to release a massive Home Guard recruitment notification for 44,000 posts. This announcement follows the recent launch of a similar large-scale recruitment drive in neighboring Bihar. The move is expected to provide thousands of young aspirants with a golden opportunity to join the Home Guard force.
After the Bihar government initiated the recruitment process for over 19,000 Home Guard posts, the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is now gearing up for its own Home Guard recruitment drive.
According to official sources, a proposal for the recruitment policy has been prepared and is likely to be tabled in the state cabinet soon. Once approved, the written examination process will begin, starting with the first phase recruitment of 22,000 posts.
| Recruitment Phase | Number of Posts |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 22,000 |
| Total | 44,000 |
The entire recruitment drive will be conducted in two phases, and detailed notifications with exam dates, syllabus, and other instructions will be released on the official Home Guard website.
Interested candidates must meet the following criteria to apply:
Educational Qualification: Must have passed Class 10 (High School) from a recognized board.
Age Limit: Applicants must be between 18 to 45 years of age.
Age Relaxation: Candidates from reserved categories will be eligible for age relaxation as per government rules.
The eligibility rules are designed to be inclusive and to allow a wide range of candidates to participate in the recruitment process.
The UP Home Guard recruitment will follow a multi-stage selection process:
Written Examination:
Objective type, multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
Subjects likely to include General Knowledge, Current Affairs, Basic Math, and Reasoning.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET):
Candidates who qualify the written exam will be invited for a physical test.
This may include running, long jump, and other fitness assessments.
Medical Examination:
Final selection will be based on a medical fitness test after clearing the PET.
All selected candidates will undergo training before joining active duty.
In addition to Home Guard posts, Uttar Pradesh Police is also preparing to launch massive recruitment drives for various positions. Expected vacancies include:
| Post | Number of Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Jail Department | 28,138 |
| Sub-Inspector (SI) | 4,543 |
| Constables | 19,200 |

This clearly reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening the law enforcement and public safety ecosystem.
With 44,000 Home Guard vacancies and over 50,000 police department jobs in the pipeline, Uttar Pradesh is set to witness one of its largest recruitment drives in recent years. Job seekers are advised to regularly check official websites and start preparing for exams now.
This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for candidates looking to secure a stable government job with honor, security, and benefits.
