- Domicile
- Not required.Open to all-India candidates (nationality clause is India-wide), but vertical/horizontal reservation benefits apply only to UP domicile holders — CONFIRMED, official notification section 4.1(i): 'लम्बवत् एवं क्षैतिज आरक्षण केवल उत्तर प्रदेश के मूल निवासी अभ्यर्थियों को ही अनुमन्य होगा'.
- Reservation
- Vertical: SC 21% · ST 2% · OBC 27% · EWS 10%Horizontal: Freedom-fighter dependants 2% · Ex-servicemen 5% · Women 20%All percentages CONFIRMED by direct visual read of notification pages 15-16 (section 4.1(v), tables (क) लम्बवत् and (ख) क्षैतिज). Informational only — this engine computes individual ELIGIBLE/CHECK/NOT_ELIGIBLE verdicts, not seat-competition odds, so nothing here feeds eligibility.age or any other rule; it exists so the UI can show a candidate what share of posts their category/horizontal group draws from, not more. The 20% women's horizontal quota carries its own caveat in the notification: it is stated as 'subject to the final order of the Hon'ble Court' in Special Appeal (D) No. 475/2019 against the Allahabad High Court's order dated 16-01-2019 — i.e. under litigation, not settled. Vertical and horizontal reservation both apply only to UP-domicile candidates (see eligibility.domicile.note).

Upper age limit by category
| Category | Relaxation | Upper limit |
|---|---|---|
| General (no relaxation) | — | 28 |
| General / EWS | +3 yr | 31 |
| OBC | +8 yr | 36 |
| SC / ST | +8 yr | 36 |
| All categories + up-state-employeeUP state government employee: 05 वर्ष+03 वर्ष = 8 years, same total as SC/ST/OBC (confirmed, notification pages 5-6, table row 5). Safe to prioritise over the category rules here specifically because 8 is already the ceiling among them — it can only help a General/EWS state employee (3→8) and never understate an OBC/SC/ST state employee's own 8. | +8 yr | 36 |
| Ex-servicemenArmy service deducted from actual age; resultant age must not have completed 34 years as on 01.07.2025. Same formula for both SI Civil Police (incl. Woman SI) and PAC/SSF — base 3-year ESM relaxation + the one-time 3-year bonus (GO dated 26.05.2025), i.e. 28 + 6. | Service deducted from age, +6 yr formula | Up to 34 |
Relaxations do not stack — the single highest that applies to you is used. Ex-servicemen: your military service is deducted from your age; the notification’s formula, not a flat number of years, decides the result.

Qualifying marks — Written Examination
35% in each section and 50% overall — a candidate must clear both thresholds, and the cutoffs are identical for every category: this paper carries no relaxation ladder.
Flat for ALL categories — no relaxation. Both thresholds must be met: 35% in EACH of the four subjects (35/100) AND 50% aggregate (200/400). This differs from UP Constable and SSC GD, which both use category-wise ladders.
