Notably, the written exam serves as the primary screening stage, and consequently only candidates who clear the cutoff marks advance further.

- Stage 4 — Physical Standard Test (PST): Furthermore, UPPRPB measures candidates’ height, chest, and weight against the prescribed category-wise physical standards at this stage.
- Stage 5 — Document Verification: Moreover, candidates who clear PST attend document verification, where officials check all original educational certificates, caste documents, and domicile records.
- Stage 6 — Medical Examination: Finally, UPPRPB conducts a Medical Examination to confirm physical fitness before issuing the final appointment order.
