I am going to clear the biggest tension of all candidates waiting for the UP Police Constable Recruitment 2025.
The main concern among aspirants is:
“If the notification does not come this year, will we become overage and lose the chance to apply?”
If you are worried about age eligibility, notification date, or relaxation, then read till the end. After this, everything will be 100% clear, and you can focus on your preparation without stress.
Official Update from the Recruitment Board
As you already know, the UP Police Recruitment Board officially informed candidates in the starting week of December that:
👉 The UP Police Constable notification will be released in December 2025
👉 Candidates were advised to keep checking the official website for further updates
This information was not a rumor. It was officially communicated by the recruitment board itself. So, when the board confirms something, it should be considered reliable.
Why Candidates Are Still Worried
Today is already 27 December, and the notification has not been released yet.
If the notification does not come in the remaining days of December, many candidates fear they will become overage, because:
-
Age is usually calculated from 1st July of the recruitment year
-
If recruitment is considered 2025, age is calculated from 1 July 2025
-
But if the notification is released in January 2026, age calculation may shift to 1 July 2026
This change could technically make many candidates overage.
Important Clarification: No One Will Be Disqualified Due to Age
Now listen carefully, because this is the most important part.
Confirmed Information:
Even if the notification is released in January 2026,
age eligibility will still be considered as per 1 July 2025
This means:
-
Candidates who were eligible on 1 July 2025 will be allowed to apply
-
No eligible candidate will be excluded unfairly
Why Age Relaxation Is the Most Logical Solution
Let’s understand this logically.
Scenario 1: If Age Is Calculated from 1 July 2026
✔ Benefit:
-
Candidates who were underage earlier (not 18 by 1 July 2025) will now become eligible
❌ Loss:
-
Candidates who were eligible in 2025 may become overage
Best Solution: One-Year Age Relaxation
To balance both sides, the government can provide one-year age relaxation.
This will ensure:
-
Candidates eligible as per 1 July 2025 can still apply
-
Previously underage candidates also get an opportunity
-
No group faces injustice
This approach benefits maximum number of candidates, which is always the government’s priority.
Final Age Eligibility (Expected)
You can safely assume:
-
Minimum Age: 18 years (as on 1 July 2025)
-
Maximum Age:
-
General / EWS: 22 years
-
OBC / SC / ST: 27 years
-
👉 If you were eligible according to 1 July 2025,
you will be able to apply, even if the notification comes in 2026.
Stop Overthinking & Focus on Preparation
Many students are wasting time thinking:
-
“Will the notification come?”
-
“Will I become overage?”
👉 Remove this tension from your mind immediately.
The recruitment will come very soon, and age relaxation will take care of all genuine candidates.
Expected Notification Date
-
The notification can be released any day
-
There is a strong possibility it may come:
-
Today evening
-
Or by Monday
-
Or within the next 1–2 days
-
Nothing is guaranteed, but all signs indicate it is very close.
