Why Were 76,184 Candidates Shortlisted for 32,679 Posts?
Many candidates wonder why more than twice the number of vacancies have been shortlisted.
UPPRPB intentionally calls additional candidates because several applicants may fail document verification, remain absent during physical tests, fail to meet physical standards, be declared medically unfit, or withdraw from the recruitment process. Shortlisting approximately 2.33 candidates per vacancy helps ensure that all advertised posts can eventually be filled without conducting another written examination.
