UP Homeguard Details
Exam Pattern
The notices do not give the paper pattern, so none is stated here. Because the exam ran in six shifts, scores were normalised before the merit list was made.
Selection Process
Written exam, then a document check with the physical standard test, then a run. The Board called 1,07,221 candidates for the document check, about 2.6 times the vacancies. Final merit combines the normalised written score with marks for the extra qualifications shown in your documents, district by district and under the state reservation rules.
