Have you checked your assigned exam city yet, and planned travel if it’s far from home? The first step after notification is a quick city intimation on the official website, and that single check can save you a last‑minute scramble.
You’ll find a short intimation slip online at uppbpb.gov.in that names the allotted district, the date and your shift. This is a login‑based update, so keep your credentials ready to view the slip and note the March dates: the written test runs on 14–15 March 2026 in two shifts.
Remember, the intimation slip gives the exam city and shift but not the full centre address or roll number. Use this notice to book travel and plan arrival times so you reach on the day refreshed and on time.

You’ll spot missing or mismatched details early and request corrections if needed.

UP Police SI exam timings and shifts for 14-15 March 2026
Confirm your reporting slot early so you can plan travel, meals and rest with confidence. Small timing slips can cause big stress on the day, so note the schedule and act on it.
Morning shift reporting and exam time
Reporting: 8:00 am. Arrive at least 45–60 minutes early to clear security and locate your hall.
Exam window: 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. Use the gap between reporting and start to complete registration formalities and calm nerves.
Afternoon shift reporting and exam time
Reporting: 1:00 pm. Plan midday travel to avoid peak traffic and allow time for a light meal.
Exam window: 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Reach the centre early enough to handle checks and settle in comfortably.
You’ll see the shift structure for the police exam across both days, so align sleep and transit accordingly.
Treat reporting time seriously: late arrival may lead to denied entry under admit card rules.
Use shift info to estimate when to leave your accommodation and find the centre area early.
Always double-check your allotted shift on the slip or admit card rather than relying on hearsay.
"Plan your day around the reporting time — it shapes everything from travel to timing of your revision break."
Shift | Reporting time | Exam time |
Morning (Shift 1) | 8:00 am | 10:00 am – 12:00 noon |
Afternoon (Shift 2) | 1:00 pm | 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm |
Exam city and district coverage across Uttar Pradesh
Allocation uses regional clusters, meaning your allotted hub may serve several neighbouring districts.
How exam cities are mapped to district clusters
The board groups districts into hubs to handle the large candidate volume across 75 districts in uttar pradesh. This reduces travel strain and balances seat capacity at testing centres.
What this means for you: your assigned exam city may be a nearby major town rather than your home district. That hub will host candidates from several listed districts.
Examples of major hub groupings
Common groupings include Lucknow (Lucknow, Unnao, Rae Bareli, Sitapur, Hardoi, Lakhimpur Kheri) and Agra (Agra, Firozabad, Mathura, Mainpuri).
Other hubs are Prayagraj (Prayagraj, Kaushambi, Fatehpur, Pratapgarh), Kanpur (Kanpur Nagar, Kanpur Dehat, Etawah, Farrukhabad, Auraiya, Kannauj), Varanasi (Varanasi, Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Chandauli), Meerut (Meerut, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Baghpat) and Bareilly (Bareilly, Pilibhit, Budaun, Shahjahanpur).
You’ll see why your exam city might be a larger hub even if you applied from a nearby district.
Use the exam city slip to shortlist rail and bus options, and to estimate peak‑hour congestion around major centres.
Remember that the admit card will provide the exact centre address; this map is for planning only.
"Treat the allotted hub as your planning anchor — it helps you pick routes and lodging early."
City intimation slip vs admit card: what’s the difference for you?
One document tells you where to plan; the other lets you in — learn the difference now. Understanding both saves travel stress and stops entry problems on the day.
What the city slip confirms (and what it does not)
The city intimation slip confirms your allotted district and the scheduled date and shift. Use it to book travel and shortlist accommodation.
It does not include the exact venue address, roll number or the centre code. That means the slip is a planning tool only and not a pass for entry.
What the admit card adds: centre address, roll number, and entry rules
The admit card is the mandatory hall ticket. It shows your roll number, photo, exact venue address and all reporting rules.
Carry the admit when you arrive; officials will check it for entry and seating. Without it, you can be denied access.
What you must carry on the day
Printed admit card and a valid government ID as listed on the admit.
A hard copy of the city intimation slip helps with travel queries but is not enough for entry.
Permitted stationery and face mask if required by the centre rules.
"Treat the city slip as planning; treat the admit card as your entry pass."
Document | Confirms | Needed for entry? |
City slip / city slip 2026 | Allotted district, date and shift | No — planning only |
Admit card | Roll number, photo, exact venue and rules | Yes — mandatory |
Both saved copies | Backup if site access fails | Recommended |
Conclusion
Finish your planning by locking three simple actions: check the city slip, book travel, and save the admit card.
First, log in to the official website uppbpb.gov.in on or after 6 March to view the intimation slip. Next, arrange travel for the written test on 14–15 March and keep buffers for reporting time. Finally, download the admit card around 11–12 March and verify centre details.
Keep your registration details handy so you can access the portal quickly during peak traffic. Remember: the city slip is for planning; the admit card is mandatory for entry.
Watch notices from the recruitment promotion board so you spot any change in reporting rules, shift instructions or entry requirements.
