Keyword note: this notice is about UP Police, not India Post, so your India Post keyword list does not fit here. Forcing those keywords in would hurt relevance and could be treated as keyword stuffing by Google. This post uses UP Police keywords instead. Consider placing it in a separate “Other Govt Exams” category on your site.
Tips for Google Ads and Analytics: this is very time-sensitive (9 and 10 October). Publish and share it at once, and run any boost only until 10 October. Track clicks on the UPPRPB website link in GA4. Add NewsArticle and FAQPage schema.
UP Police PET Centre Changed Because of Rain
Candidates who were given 20th Battalion PAC, Azamgarh for their Physical Efficiency Test (PET) on 9 or 10 October 2026 must now go to 39th Battalion PAC, Mirzapur. The date stays the same; only the centre has changed.
