CM Yogi Adityanath: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government is all set to launch a massive recruitment push in 2026 ahead of the UP Assembly Elections in 2027.
Interestingly, the 2024 Lok Sabha elections saw unemployment as a huge political issue. It is because of this reason that the UP government now wants to re-engage with young voters before the state goes to assembly poll next year.
Recruitments Through Key Commissions
The Uttar Pradesh government has already initiated a series of steps to issue fresh advertisements for recruiting close to 1.5 lakh new employees through the UP Education Service Selection Commission, the UP Public Service Commission (UPPSC), the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board and the UP Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC).

CM Yogi Adityanath Chairs High-Level Review Meeting
A high-level recruitment meeting was held by CM Yogi Adityanath. All government departments have been asked to immediately send vacant post requisitions. The government would issue advertisements for approximately 1.5 lakh new posts and complete 20,000 pending recruitments.
In the last 8 years, 8.5 lakh youths have received government jobs. During the Yogi administration, education and police sectors alone accounted for more than 2.19 lakh recruitments in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Deadline Set
The UP CM has set a deadline of June 2026 for the recruitments. Furthermore, efforts are also being made to speed up the application as well as examination processes.
The UP government is likely to consider more recruitment after the 2026 panchayat election results.
Political analyst Rajendra Kumar remarked unemployment in the state of UP has become a big politically sensitive issue. Kumar added the regime’s credibility is directly impacted if the young population feels opportunities are shrinking.
Recently, the UP recruitment announced the hiring of more than 41,000 home guards in 2026 alone and nearly 8,000 lekhpal posts.
