With biometric verification, including fingerprint and facial recognition, besides other measures, the Yogi Adityanath government has put in place a comprehensive plan to ensure the safe and secure conduct of the high-stakes U.P. Police constables’ recruitment re-exam that has started today, i.e on Friday almost six months after cancellation due to a question paper leak in February.
As many as 48,17,441 (48,17 lakh or over 4.8 million) candidates have applied to appear in the written examination for 60,244 posts of UP Police constables, according to the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB), the state agency which is holding the test.
The state government has ensured strict security measures to uphold the sanctity and transparency of the exam, with static magistrates stationed at each centre, said a press note of the state government media cell on Thursday.
