Uttarakhand Police Constable Physical Test, Height & Syllabus (New Rules 2025) — Running, Exam Pattern, Age

This page explains how Uttarakhand Police Constable recruitment works under the new rules: the Uttarakhand Uniformed Constable Posts Direct Recruitment Selection Procedure Rules, 2025, notified by the Personnel and Vigilance Department on 11 September 2025. They replace all earlier rules and set the height, chest, physical efficiency test (PET), written exam and merit for Police Constable, PAC and IRB — now for men and women. Every number below is from the official rules PDF.

Status (11 November 2026): UKSSSC has not yet published a constable advertisement under these rules. The next advertisement will give the vacancies, dates, fee and detailed syllabus. We will update this page when it comes; follow the Uttarakhand Police page.

What Changed in the 2025 Rules

Height, Chest and Weight (Appendix B-1)

• Women need a minimum weight of 45 kg; there is no chest measurement for women.
• These standards are the same for every uniformed constable post (Fireman men need 84.3 cm / 82 cm expanded chest).
• Only those who meet these standards go on to the PET. Keep your ST or hill area certificate ready if you claim the lower height.

Which areas count as "hill area"?

As defined in UKSSSC's last constable advertisement: the whole of Pithoragarh, Almora, Chamoli, Tehri Garhwal, Uttarkashi, Bageshwar, Rudraprayag and Champawat; in Dehradun, the whole of Chakrata tehsil and the Mussoorie hill area above Rajpur between the Ganga and Yamuna; in Nainital and Pauri Garhwal, the whole area above the sub-mountain road, including Kotdwar.

Physical Efficiency Test — Men (100 Marks)

Physical Efficiency Test — Women (100 Marks)

• The tables start at the lowest scoring level: 32 minutes for the men's 5 km, 15 minutes for the women's 2 km.
• PET marks decide who goes to the written exam (up to 10 times the vacancies) and make up 25% of the final merit, so a faster run matters twice.

Written Exam

• One objective paper of 100 marks on General Hindi, General Knowledge, General Studies, Uttarakhand-related knowledge and General Intelligence.
• 1 mark per correct answer, ¼ mark deducted for each wrong answer.
• You keep the question booklet and a carbon copy of the answer sheet; the answer key is published on the UKSSSC website.
• The detailed syllabus will be issued by UKSSSC with government approval. Until then, the last constable syllabus (Advt 65/2024) is the best guide: General Hindi 20, GK & General Studies with reasoning and computer basics 40, Uttarakhand GK 40.

Final Merit and Tie Rules

• Final merit = 25% of PET marks + 75% of written marks.
• Equal total: higher written marks rank first; then the older candidate; then preference (2 years in the Territorial Army, or NCC "B" or "C" certificate).
• After selection, the written and PET marks of all candidates are published on the UKSSSC website.

Age, Qualification and Pay

• Age: 18 to 25 years on 1 July of the year in which UKSSSC advertises the vacancies. SC, ST, OBC and other notified categories get extra years as per government orders.
• One-time relaxation: news reports from July 2026 say an amendment gives a one-time age relaxation until 31 December 2028 for Police, PAC, IRB and Fireman posts. The exact extra years will be in the advertisement.
• Qualification: as per each post's service rules — for Police Constable this has been Intermediate (12th) from the Uttarakhand board or equivalent.
