Dehradun: In a move that brings significant relief to thousands of aspirants, the Uttarakhand government has decided to reinstate the previous recruitment rules for uniformed services, making the selection process more accessible for candidates.
The decision is expected to impact upcoming recruitments in departments such as police and other uniformed forces, where changes in eligibility and selection criteria had earlier raised concerns among applicants.

Youth across the state have welcomed the decision, saying it will improve their chances of selection and bring clarity to the process. Coaching centers and training institutes have also expressed relief, as they can now continue guiding students based on familiar standards.
The government’s decision comes after reviewing feedback from various stakeholders, including aspirants and experts. By restoring the old rules, authorities aim to streamline recruitment while ensuring transparency and equal opportunity.
