What is the UP Police OTR System?

The UP Police OTR Registration 2025 (One Time Registration) is a new platform launched by the UPPBPB. It is a one-time process where you create a permanent, secure, and detailed profile of yourself on the board’s official website.

Why is it mandatory for Home Guard Recruitment?

As per the notice dated November 7, 2025, the UP government has decided that the enrollment for Home Guards Volunteers will now be conducted by the UPPBPB. To make this process “convenient, simple, and transparent,” the board has made the OTR system compulsory.

Key Benefits of OTR:

• Convenience: You only need to fill in your personal details (like name, father’s name, date of birth, address, and educational qualifications) one time only.
• Time-Saving: For all future vacancies (Home Guard, Constable, SI), you will just log in with your OTR ID, and all your personal details will be auto-filled.
• Accuracy: It reduces the chances of making spelling mistakes or errors in future applications.
• It is 100% Free: The OTR process is completely free of cost.

IMPORTANT: If you have already completed your OTR for any other UP Police exam (like Constable or SI), you do not need to register again. Your existing OTR ID will be valid for the Home Guards recruitment as well.

The Main Event: UP Police Home Guard Recruitment 2025 (30,000+ Vacancies)

The reason the UP Police Home Guard OTR Registration 2025 is so critical is because it is the mandatory first step for the massive, long-awaited UP Home Guard Recruitment 2025. For years, this recruitment was handled by the Home Guard department, but it has now been transferred to the UPPBPB for a fair and transparent selection.

While the official notification with exact dates is expected soon, here is the complete expected selection process, physical standards, and exhaustive syllabus based on the new UPPBPB pattern.

UP Home Guard: Expected Overview	Details
Total Vacancies (Expected)	30,000+
Post Name	Home Guard (Volunteer)
Eligibility	10th or 12th Pass (to be confirmed)
Age Limit	18 – 45 Years (Expected, wider than Constable)
Selection (New Pattern)	Written Exam, DV-PST, PET, Medical
Application Mode	OTR + Online Application

Deep Dive: UP Home Guard Selection Process (Expected New Pattern)

Since the UPPBPB is conducting the exam, the old process (which was often merit-based on 10th/12th marks) is now obsolete. The new selection process will mirror the UP Police Constable exam to ensure fairness.

1. Stage 1: Written Examination (CBT/OMR): This will be the most critical stage for creating the merit list.
2. Stage 2: Document Verification (DV) & Physical Standards Test (PST): Candidates who pass the written exam will be called for DV and physical measurements. This is qualifying.
3. Stage 3: Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Candidates who clear the PST will have to participate in a race. This is also qualifying.
4. Stage 4: Medical Examination & Final Merit List: The final list will be prepared based on marks from the Written Exam.

Deep Dive: UP Home Guard Physical Standards (PST & PET)

This is the most important part of any uniformed service. Candidates must meet these physical standards.

1. Physical Standards Test (PST) (Expected)

This is the minimum physical requirement (qualifying).

Category	Height (Male)	Chest (Male)	Height (Female)	Weight (Female)
Gen / OBC / SC	167.7 cm	78.8 cm (Unexpanded) 83.8 cm (Expanded)	152 cm	Min 40 kg
ST	160 cm	76.5 cm (Unexpanded) 81.5 cm (Expanded)	147 cm	Min 40 kg

(Note: A minimum 5 cm chest expansion is mandatory for all male candidates)

2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) (Expected)

This is a qualifying race. You must complete it within the time limit.

• Male: 4.8 KM run in 25 minutes.
• Female: 2.4 KM run in 14 minutes.

(Note: These are based on the UP Police Constable standards. The board may relax these (e.g., make the race shorter) for Home Guard aspirants, but you should prepare for the toughest standard.)

THE ULTIMATE 4000-WORD SYLLABUS (Written Exam)

The biggest change in the UP Police Home Guard Recruitment 2025 will be the new written exam. The syllabus will almost certainly follow the UP Police Constable pattern. The exam is expected to be 300 Marks, with 150 Questions.
