Up Home Guard Recruitment 2025

For those who get selected, the job involves serving as a Homeguard. This is a uniformed service where you assist the police force in maintaining law and order.

The government decides this daily rate and updates it from time to time.

This recruitment is a golden opportunity for the residents of Uttar Pradesh. It allows you to serve your community while earning a respectable income. The selection process is designed to be fair and transparent.

1. Focus on Local Knowledge (UP GK)

The exam syllabus has a heavy focus on Uttar Pradesh.

Read Local News: Make a habit of reading a Hindi newspaper that covers UP news specifically.
Know Your State: Buy a simple "UP General Knowledge" book. Learn about the festivals, the police structure, and famous places in UP.
Schemes: The government launches many welfare schemes. Memorize the names and purposes of recent schemes launched by the UP government.

2. Start Running Today

Build Stamina: Start by walking and jogging. Slowly increase your speed.
Time Yourself: Once you can run the distance (4.8 km for men, 2.4 km for women), start using a stopwatch. Try to finish 2-3 minutes before the actual limit so you are safe on exam day.
Eat Right: Eat healthy food to maintain your weight (especially important for women to meet the 40kg limit) and keep your energy up.

3. Practice for the Written Exam

School Books: Since the eligibility is Class 10, pick up your old school books for History, Geography, and Science. Read the basics again.
Mock Tests: Try to solve old question papers from UP Police exams. They are often similar in style.
Fill the OMR Carefully: In the exam, you have to color circles on a sheet. Practice this at home. If you color the wrong circle or two circles for one question, you get zero marks.
