UP Home Guard Recruitment 2025: 41,000+ Vacancies Announced — Eligibility, Fees & Key Details

The Uttar Pradesh Home Guard Department is inviting applications for 41,424 positions, with a 20% reservation for women. Interested candidates can apply on the official website until December 17. Applications submitted after this date will not be considered.

Before applying, candidates must complete the One-Time Registration (OTR). This step simplifies the registration process by storing basic personal details. Those who have previously completed OTR for other recruitments need not register again. For new applicants, OTR is mandatory. Over one lakh candidates have already completed their OTR successfully.

Application Fees and Payment

The application fee varies based on category: General, OBC, and EWS candidates must pay ₹400, while SC/ST candidates are required to pay ₹300. The application will only be processed after successful payment of the fee. Applicants should ensure all necessary documents are uploaded before making the final payment.

To avoid disqualification, applicants should be cautious of common mistakes. Forms may be rejected if submitted without completing OTR, if incorrect information is provided, or if mandatory documents are missing or improperly uploaded.

Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria to apply. They should have passed Class 10 and be aged between 18 to 30 years. Those who do not meet these requirements will not qualify for the recruitment process.

The selection process includes a physical efficiency test. Successful candidates will receive a daily allowance of ₹600 along with a dearness allowance (DA). Home Guards support the Uttar Pradesh Police in various duties and may be deployed to different locations as needed.

This recruitment drive offers a significant opportunity for eligible individuals to serve as Home Guards in Uttar Pradesh. Candidates are encouraged to carefully follow all instructions and ensure their applications are complete and accurate before submission.
