The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) has officially released the cut-off marks for the Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment examination conducted in 2026. The announcement comes after weeks of anticipation among lakhs of aspirants who had appeared for the competitive written test aimed at filling vacancies across various categories in the state police force.
The cut-off marks have been published category-wise, meaning candidates belonging to General, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories can check their respective qualifying scores. Each category has a different cut-off threshold, as per the reservation policy followed by the state government. Candidates scoring equal to or above the prescribed cut-off for their category are eligible to proceed to the subsequent phases of the recruitment process, which typically include the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification, and final merit listing.
The written examination for the SI post is one of the most sought-after recruitments in the state, drawing applications from hundreds of thousands of candidates each year. The positions carry significant appeal due to the job security, pension benefits, and prestige associated with serving as a Sub-Inspector in the Uttar Pradesh Police.
Candidates can verify their status by visiting the official UPPRPB website, where the category-wise cut-off list has been uploaded as a downloadable PDF. The board has also published the result compilation along with the cut-off, allowing aspirants to cross-reference their roll numbers and scores.
Officials have stated that the selection process will now move forward according to the scheduled timeline, with further notifications expected for the PET and other stages shortly. The final merit list will be prepared based on the combined performance of candidates across all written and physical tests.
