Nagaland Police Constable Recruitment 2026

Nagaland Police has opened a large constable recruitment for the Constable (General Duty) cadre, and this drive is different from an ordinary open recruitment in one important way: it is restricted to candidates belonging to the indigenous inhabitant tribes of the state, with non-indigenous applicants expressly ineligible. The regular vacancies in this cycle arise from posts covered under orders of the Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench, while a smaller set of seats are backlog vacancies carried forward from the previous recruitment cycle. Applicants must choose a single eligible district at the time of applying, and district-level screening committees will conduct the recruitment across district headquarters rather than through one central rally. The selection process moves through physical and medical screening, a physical efficiency test, a written examination, an interview, and marks for NCC certification. Because the written test is conducted in English and the merit list is built from a combined framework across stages, candidates should prepare for every stage rather than focusing on the written paper alone. Applications are accepted online only, so candidates should complete the form and fee payment well before the window closes instead of waiting for the final days.
