The countdown has begun for the UP Police Sub-Inspector (SI) Exam 2026, scheduled for 14th and 15th March 2026. With just two months remaining, candidates must strategically plan their preparation to maximize their scores. Experts recommend focusing on the most scoring subjects, especially two key areas, to improve your chances of success.
UP Police SI Exam Pattern 2026
The recruitment exam for 4,000 Sub-Inspector positions in Uttar Pradesh will follow a Computer-Based Test (CBT) format. The exam pattern is as follows:
| Subject | Number of Questions | Maximum Marks |
|---|---|---|
| General Hindi | 40 | 100 |
| Law/Constitution/General Knowledge | 40 | 100 |
| Numerical & Mental Ability | 40 | 100 |
| Mental Aptitude/Reasoning | 40 | 100 |
| Total | 160 | 400 |
Which Subjects Can Boost Your Score?
The exam comprises four subjects totaling 160 questions and 400 marks. While General Hindi and Law/Constitution are important, candidates often cannot achieve full marks in these areas due to the subjective nature of some questions.
In contrast, Numerical & Mental Ability and Reasoning (Mental Aptitude) are highly scoring areas. These subjects are pattern-based and repeat frequently in exams, making them ideal for focused practice. Candidates who develop speed and accuracy in these areas can significantly boost their overall score.
Preparation Strategy
To strengthen these two subjects, candidates should practice extensively and take mock tests once the syllabus is covered. This approach helps in time management, builds confidence, and improves accuracy. While focusing on these scoring subjects, candidates should also continue revising General Hindi and General Knowledge, ensuring a balanced preparation for all sections of the exam.
With proper strategy and focused practice, aspirants can make the most of the remaining two months and aim for top scores in the UP SI Exam 2026.
