The Uttar Pradesh Basic Public Service Commission, commonly known as UPPBPB, has announced the release of the admit card for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) scheduled as part of the UP Police Home Guard Recruitment 2026. The notification went live on the official website uppbpb.gov.in, and candidates are encouraged to download their hall tickets at the earliest to avoid last-minute technical glitches.
The Physical Efficiency Test is a crucial qualifying stage in the Home Guard selection process. Unlike written examinations, the PET assesses physical fitness standards that candidates must meet before proceeding to the document verification and final merit list preparation. The test typically includes events such as running, high jump, and long jump, with different distance and height requirements depending on the candidate's category and gender.
Candidates who appeared for the Computer Based Test (CBT) or those directly called for PET based on the recruitment notification's criteria will find their names listed on the admit card. The UPPBPB has stated that the PET admit card contains essential details including the candidate's name, roll number, test venue, reporting time, and dress code guidelines. Aspirants are advised to cross-check all information carefully before printing multiple copies of the admit card for safety.
The recruitment drive for Home Guard positions under the Uttar Pradesh government aims to fill several vacancies across various districts. Home Guards serve as a auxiliary force supporting regular police personnel during emergencies, natural disasters, crowd management, and special events. The selection process involves multiple stages including written examination, physical efficiency test, medical examination, and document verification.
Officials have urged candidates to carry a valid photo identity proof along with the printed admit card on the day of the test. Only candidates bearing the original admit card with a recent photograph and candidate seal will be permitted entry into the examination or testing venue. Any discrepancy in personal details should be reported to the commission immediately through their helpline or email support.
The PET is expected to be conducted across designated venues in multiple districts of Uttar Pradesh. Candidates should plan their travel to the testing center well in advance and arrive at least one hour before the scheduled reporting time. Wearing appropriate sports attire and footwear is mandatory for appearing in the physical test.
