Uttar Pradesh Departmental Examinations

Checked 11 September 2026. No departmental examination is open. The police board’s cycles have concluded: the assistant sub-inspector clerical examination of selection year 2025 with its result of 17 June 2026, the head constable motor transport examination for 2020 to 2025 with its result of 7 August 2026 and a marks window from 14 to 23 August, the programmer examination of 12 January 2026, and the sub-inspectors’ run of November 2025; the board’s September notices concern home guard enrolment and the constable recruitment. The commission’s 2026 calendar carries no revenue departmental sitting, and the Board of Revenue’s site could not be reached. Promotions of head constables to sub-inspector in February 2026 were made by departmental promotion committee, not by examination.

The revenue framework is set out in the Allahabad High Court’s judgment of 11 May 2023 in Heera Lal v. State of Uttar Pradesh, a tehsildars’ confirmation case. Rule 3 of the Departmental Examination Rules provides for an examination twice a year, usually in April and October, on dates the Public Service Commission determines; the judgment records the commission’s sittings of September 2008, March 2010, January 2012, August 2014, September and October 2015 and June 2016, with results between five and nine months later, and the petitioners’ pass in all eight papers on 20 September 2019. The Subordinate Revenue Executive (Tehsildar) Service Rules of 1966 supply the consequences: two years’ probation under rule 12; extension by the Board of Revenue, less than a year at a time, and reversion to the post promoted from for a probationer who has not passed, under rule 13; the examination as the government determines it under rule 14; and confirmation under rule 15 only on a pass, a certificate of fitness and integrity from the divisional commissioner, and the appointing authority’s satisfaction. An unconfirmed tehsildar is not eligible for promotion to deputy collector under the Civil Service (Executive Branch) Rules of 1982, and confirmation dates from the pass, not from the end of probation.

The police board’s examinations are quota routes written into the cadre rules. Twenty per cent of assistant sub-inspector clerical posts are filled by departmental examination from Group D staff under rule 6 of the 2015 clerical cadre rules; every head constable of motor transport is selected by departmental examination from constable and head constable drivers with five years’ service and a clean record under rule 5 of the 2015 motor transport rules; programmers of grade 2 come from computer operators of grade C under rule 19 of the 2011 computer staff rules. The board advertises each selection year’s posts, sets the papers and the pass marks, publishes the keys and the cut-offs, and adds a service-record score where the rules provide one.

Checked 11 September 2026 against the police board’s notices of 15 September 2025, 12 November 2025, 10 December 2025, 30 January 2026, 15 April 2026, 17 June 2026 and 7 August 2026 read on its site; the Allahabad High Court’s judgments in Heera Lal v. State of Uttar Pradesh of 11 May 2023 and Satyendra Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh of 18 November 2024 on Indian Kanoon; the commission’s 2026 calendar and live notices; and the corporation notices for departmental promotions. The Board of Revenue’s site was unreachable, the government orders portal requires a browser, and the revenue examination’s current rules and schedule were not read; the February 2026 head constable promotions are from press reports.
