UP SI History Mock Test 2027: Free Bhartiya Itihas Practice Sets & Topic-Wise Quizzes
In order to perform well in the General Knowledge section of Section 2, you should focus on topics that are both reliable and offer a high return on investment. In the official UP Police Sub-Inspector examination, Indian History typically accounts for about 5 to 8 questions (12.5 to 20 marks) in Section 2 (Mool Vidhi, Samvidhan evam Samanya Gyan). Taking a focused UP SI History Mock Test will allow you to make the most of these valuable opportunities without spending your study time on topics that are doubtful.
The general central examinations, like the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB), set history questions according to the state's historical heritage. On our free practice platform you can find tests at the subject level covering the ancient Mahajanapadas, Buddhist pilgrimage sites, medieval monuments, the 1857 uprising in various districts of UP, and the Indian National Movement.

UP SI History Questions Breakdown & Marks Weightage
If you look at the recruitment trends from earlier examination cycles, the history section distributes its questions among four historical periods.
| Historical Era | Estimated Question Share | Key Regional Focus Areas | High-Yield Topics for UP SI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ancient India | Expect 1 to 2 questions. | Sarnath, Shravasti, Kaushambi, and Kushinagar | are among the 16 Mahajanapadas in UP. Harappan sites include Alamgirpur. Look for mentions of Mauryan pillars and Gupta inscriptions. |
| Medieval India | There were one or two questions | about Jaunpur, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Awadh in medieval India, | the subjects being the administration of the Delhi Sultanate, Sharqi architecture, the Mughal revenue reforms and the Bhakti saints. |
| Modern India & 1857 | There were at that timeтАФregarding modern India and the year 1857тАФtwo or three questions | connected with Meerut, Lucknow, Kanpur, Jhansi and Bareilly, | namely the revolt of 1857, the local rebel leaders, the participation of the civilians, and the British suppression officers. |
| National Movement | In Uttar Pradesh the Indian National Congress held meetings, | together with the Kakori Train Action and the Chauri Chaura incident, | and the parallel government which was set up as part of the Quit India movement. |
| Total History Scope | For the entire history section 5 to 8 questions are included, | and for state-wide heritage centres | 12.5 to 20 marks are assigned in total for Section 2. |
Why History is a High-Yield Part of Your Section 2 Strategy
Many of the candidates find it difficult to deal with Section 2 because they spend their entire time memorizing rapidly changing current affairs or detailed legal updates. It is necessary to be up to date with legal changes, but Indian History provides a good basis for achieving a good score.
A Reliable, Revisable Subject Within General Knowledge
History is a subject whose details do not alter; the historical dates, treaties, dynasties, and battlefield alliances stay the same in every exam. Once you have memorised the sequence of the 1857 revolt in Kanpur or the positions of the ancient Mahajanapadas, that knowledge will always be useful.
If you get between 5 and 8 of the questions right, this will give you a good edge in reaching the 35% sectional cutoff required in Section 2 and will help boost your confidence at the start of the test, thereby saving some of your mental energy for the more calculation-heavy sections such as Mathematics and Reasoning.
UP-Specific History vs General Indian History
The majority of books written for a national audience present a completely central view of Indian history, paying no attention to the individual towns, administrative centres, and leaders in Uttar Pradesh and instead concentrating on the national timeline of the freedom movement.
Whenever it looks at general historical topics it relates them to the local situation. Rather than treating the 1857 rebellion in a general manner, for example, the examiners ask which rebel leader carried out operations in Faizabad and where Chittu Pandey established a parallel government during the 1942 movement. History can become simple questions that are easy to answer when it is studied with a specific focus on Uttar Pradesh.
Why Most UP SI History Mocks Fail Candidates
Standard test series available online frequently fail to prepare aspirants for the real examination due to three common flaws:
- The habit of recycling generic questions from the central SSC examinations involves simply copying questions from the central staff selection test banks. These questions give a strong focus to the southern dynasties or to the measures adopted by the central administration, while failing to include coverage of the regional historical aspects of Uttar Pradesh.
- Many test series ignore the ancient and medieval periods since they focus almost entirely on the modern freedom struggle and therefore offer no opportunity to study the Sharqi dynasty of Jaunpur, the capitals of the ancient Mahajanapada, or the early Buddhist councils that took place in northern India.
- Answer keys prepared in the conventional way usually give only the letter of the correct answer and fail to explain why the other options are wrong, and therefore do not make use of the opportunity to reinforce related dates and locations.

Ancient India: Sites in UP and the Mahajanapadas
A second phase of urbanization in India took place in the fertile area of the Gangetic basin in the 6th century BCE. As is typically the case when examining this period, eight of the classical 16 Mahajanapadas were situated in what is now Uttar Pradesh:
- The capital of Kashi was Varanasi and it was well known as an ancient centre of Vedic learning, textile weaving, and philosophical discussion.
- Kosala placed its capital at Shravasti (Ayodhya serving as a major administrative city) and was ruled by King Prasenjit, who was contemporaneous with Gautama Buddha.
- The capital of Vatsa was Kaushambi, a town situated near the point at which the Ganga and Yamuna rivers converge; the kingdom was ruled by King Udayana.
- Malla was a republican clan called Ganasangha. It had two capitals. These were Kushinagar and Pawa.
- The Chedi is located in the eastern section of the Bundelkhand region, the capital of which is Suktimati (Sothivati).
- Shurasena lies in the Braj area and its capital city is Mathura; it was ruled by King Avantiputra.
- Kuru reaches into western Uttar Pradesh and also extends into Delhi, its capital cities being Hastinapur and Indraprastha.
- The region of Panchala was separated by the Ganga, the northern section of which had its capital at Ahichchhatra (in the current Bareilly district) and the southern section having its capital at Kampilya (in the present-day Farrukhabad district).
Other notable ancient sites include:
- Alamgirpur, which is situated in the Meerut district, is located on the Hindon River and therefore marks the easternmost extension of the Harappan Civilization.
- The Allahabad Pillar Inscription, known as the Prayag Prashasti, was written in classical Sanskrit by the court poet Harisena and gives an account of the military campaigns and imperial policies of the Gupta emperor Samudragupta.
- The temple known as the Dashavatara Temple, which is in Deogarh in the district of Lalitpur, is a stone temple dating from the 6th century and belonging to the Gupta period; it is dedicated to Vishnu and represents an early example of the Panchayatana style of architecture.
Buddhism and Jainism: Sarnath, Kushinagar and Shravasti
Uttar Pradesh played a key role in the development of early heterodox religious traditions:
- Sarnath (which is also called Isipatana or Mrigadava) is located near Varanasi and it was there that Gautama Buddha delivered his first sermon to his five former ascetic companions; in Buddhist tradition this occasion is known as the Dhammachakra Pravartana (the Turning of the Wheel of Law). The site includes the ancient Dhamekh Stupa and the Ashoka Pillar, the Lion Capital of which is the National Emblem of India.
- Shravasti (also called Sahet-Mahet): This was the capital city of the Kosala kingdom; there Buddha spent the greatest number of his rainy-season retreats (Vassavasa) and performed a number of miracles in order to deal with the ascetics from the other sects. The merchant Anathapindika bought the Jetavana monastery and then gave it to the Buddhist Sangha.
- Kushinagar (Kasia): It was the capital of the Mallas and it was there that Buddha attained his Mahaparinirvana (final passing) at the age of eighty under a grove of Sal trees; the Parinirvana Stupa and the large reclining Buddha statue are situated at the place where this event took place.
- Kaushambi was an important site for the historic monastery known as Ghositarama and was often visited by the Buddha when King Udayana was king.
- The Jain heritage in Uttar Pradesh consists of various Tirthankaras who were born in the ancient cities within the state, for example Rishabhanatha (also known as Adinatha), Ajitanatha, Abhinandanatha and Sumatinatha in Ayodhya, and Parshvanatha (the 23rd Tirthankara) in Varanasi.
Medieval India: Sultanate Architecture, Jaunpur and Mughal Administration
- Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, before he was appointed Sultan of Delhi in 1211 CE, was the provincial governor (Iqtedar) of Badaun, a post which saw the town remain an important intellectual and administrative centre throughout the Sultanate period.
- Firoz Shah Tughlaq established Jaunpur on the Gomti River as a gesture of homage to his cousin Muhammad bin Tughlaq (Jauna Khan), and it was Malik Sarwar (Khwaja Jahan) who granted it independence in the year 1394 CE. During the reign of Sultan Ibrahim Shah Sharqi, Jaunpur became a well-known centre of Islamic scholarship, architecture and classical music and obtained the historic title "Shiraz-e-Hind" (the Shiraz of India); examples of the particular Sharqi architectural style, which is characterised by its large sloping pylons, are the Atala Masjid (completed in 1408 CE) and the Jhanjhari Masjid.
- Sultan Sikandar Lodi established the city of Agra in 1504 CE in order to gain tighter military control over the rebellious chieftains of the Doab and the trade routes in central India, his main base of operations having been Delhi before that.
- Mughal Architecture in UP: The city of Fatehpur Sikri was established by the emperor Akbar next to Agra in 1571 CE in honour of the Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chisti; notable buildings in it include the Buland Darwaza (which was built to commemorate Akbar's conquest of Gujarat), the Panch Mahal, the Diwan-i-Khas, and the Ibadat Khana (the Hall of Religious Debates, which was founded in 1575 CE).
- The Dahsala Revenue System: The system of Dahsala revenue was established in 1580 CE by Akbar's finance minister, Raja Todar Mal, who came from Laharpur (which is now in the Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh), using ten-year averages of crop yields and prices.
Bhakti Movement Saints in UP:
- The 15th-century Sant Kabir had a connection with Varanasi; his verses, in which he criticised ritualism and caste divisions, are contained in the Bijak, and he spent his final days at Maghar (in the district of Sant Kabir Nagar) in order to refute the belief that dying there would prevent one from entering heaven.
- Goswami Tulsidas (16th century) had a connection with Rajapur (in the Chitrakoot district) and with Varanasi; he composed the epic Awadhi poem Ramcharitmanas when Akbar was ruler.
- Amir Khusrau, who was alive in the 13th and 14th centuries, was born in Patiyali (in the Kasganj district, Uttar Pradesh); he was a famous poet and musician and is credited with having invented the Qawwali musical style, referring to himself as the Tuti-e-Hind (the Parrot of India).
1857 Revolt in Uttar Pradesh: Leaders, Districts & British Suppression
The Great Uprising of 1857 broke out, with the fiercest fighting occurring in Uttar Pradesh; it is generally difficult for the UPPRPB to establish which leader was active in each administrative district.
District-by-District Breakdown Table
| District / Center | Key Rebel Leadership | Historical Significance | British Suppressing Officer |
|---|---|---|---|

Indian National Movement & Revolutionary Nationalism (Kakori to 1942 Ballia)
In the present-day struggle for freedom Uttar Pradesh served as a centre for the activities of both the two major political parties and the revolutionary groups.
The Indian National Congress in Uttar Pradesh
A total of 9 annual sessions of the Indian National Congress took place within Uttar Pradesh prior to independence:
| Year of Session | Host City in UP | Congress President | Historical Milestone & Decisions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1888 | At Allahabad (now Prayagraj) | George Yule | was the first European man (not an Indian) to act as president at a Congress meeting. |
| 1892 | Allahabad (Prayagraj) | W.C. Bonnerjee | was in office for the second time in 1892, stressing constitutional reforms. |
| 1899 | In 1899 Romesh Chunder Dutt from Lucknow | Romesh Chunder Dutt | gave an economic critique of the colonial land revenue system and the drain of wealth. |
| 1905 | In 1905 at Banaras (Varanasi) | Gopal Krishna Gokhale | presented a formal objection to the partition of Bengal and supported the Swadeshi movement. |

| 1946 | In Meerut in 1946 | Acharya J.B. Kripalani | held an important session marking the transition on the night prior to Indian independence. |
Revolutionary Nationalism: HRA and the Kakori Train Action
In October 1924 a number of young revolutionaries gathered in Kanpur with the object of establishing the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA); the principal founders were Ram Prasad Bismil, Sachindra Nath Sanyal (author of Bandi Jeevan), and Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee.
On 9 August 1925 the members of the Hindustan Republican Association carried out the Kakori train robbery by halting the 8-Down passenger train outside the village of Kakori (near Lucknow) and taking the official British railway money.
The Trials and Sacrifices: The colonial government made a large number of arrests and, as a result of the trials, hung four of the revolutionaries in December 1927:
- Ram Prasad Bismil was hanged at the Gorakhpur District Jail.
- Ashfaqulla Khan was hanged in the Faizabad (Ayodhya) District Jail.
- Thakur Roshan Singh was hanged in Naini Central Jail, Prayagraj.
- Rajendra Lahiri was hanged in the jail in the Gonda District on 17 December 1927, which was two days before the scheduled date.
Chandrashekhar Azad succeeded in evading the police chase and, in 1928 at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, joined forces with Bhagat Singh in re-establishing the group as the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA). On 27 February 1931 Azad had an armed encounter with the police at Alfred Park in Allahabad (the place is now called Chandrashekhar Azad Park) and then put an end to his life by shooting himself with his final bullet in order to fulfil his promise of dying a free man.
Mass Movements in Uttar Pradesh
The Chauri Chaura Incident (4 February 1922): When taking part in the Non-Cooperation Movement a protest procession came into clash with the local police in Chauri Chaura village in the Gorakhpur district; after the police had opened fire on the crowd the protesters set the police station on fire and as a result 22 police officers were killed. Because he was concerned about the outbreak of violence Mahatma Gandhi suspended the Non-Cooperation Movement, which was going on throughout India, on 12 February 1922 at Bardoli.
In August 1942 local nationalists, with Chittu Pandey at their head and known as "Sher-e-Ballia", broke open the district jail, seized control of the civil administration and established an independent parallel government (Jatiya Sarkar) which stayed in power for several days before being suppressed by the military.

The common errors made by candidates when preparing for the UP SI history section include:
- Failing to know which of the 1857 leaders carried out operations in Bareilly, Allahabad, or Faizabad while concentrating instead on general facts regarding the south Indian or Maratha campaigns.
- Taking the village where Mangal Pandey was born for the place where he carried out his mutiny is incorrect since although he did commit the mutiny at Barrackpore (in Bengal) he was in fact born in Nagwa village in the Ballia district (in Uttar Pradesh).
- Ignoring the particular architectural features of the Sharqi monuments in Jaunpur (for example, the Atala Masjid) or of Akbar's administrative buildings in Fatehpur Sikri.
- One does not remember the correct dates of important modern revolutionary events, for example the Kakori Train Action (9 August 1925) and the Chauri Chaura incident (4 February 1922), since such dates are frequently asked about by examiners.
- Taking tests without systematically recording your errorsтАФsuch as not keeping a record of the mistakes made on history quizzes regarding incorrect dates, dynasties, or treaty namesтАФleads to the same errors being repeated again and again.

Advice on practical preparation: focusing on chronological timelines and regional mapping
To score well in the history section of Part 2, it is necessary to understand chronological sequences and the regional connections. Instead of trying to memorise individual historical dates, make a two-column timeline notebook in which you list the historical event on the left and note the specific district or town in Uttar Pradesh on the right. Each morning review your table showing the districts involved in the 1857 revolt, memorise the nine Congress sessions that took place in Uttar Pradesh, and take two 25-question UP SI History mock tests every week to develop quick recall under time pressure. Regular practice with these fixed facts will ensure that you earn easy marks and improve your overall preparation for Part 2.
