The Nagaland Police Department has notified 1,137 vacancies for the post of Constable (General Duty). The online application window opens on October 31 and closes on November 30, 2026. Both male and female candidates are eligible to apply.
Selection will be based on a Physical Efficiency Test (carrying 45 marks), a written exam of 80 multiple-choice questions for 40 marks in two hours, and an interview. The syllabus covers general awareness, Indian history, general science, social science, Indian polity, sports, mathematics, mental aptitude, and Naga culture and current affairs.
The PET includes a running test (20 marks), pull-ups (15 marks), and high jump and long jump (5 marks each). Detailed standards have been released for male and female candidates. The official website is police.nagaland.gov.in.
The Nagaland Police constable recruitment adds 1,137 new posts, the largest intake in a cycle. The written exam carries only 40 marks against 45 for the physical test, giving the PET unusual weight in shortlisting for interviews. Candidates from the state's diverse tribes will be tested on Naga culture, heritage and current affairs alongside national subjects. Applications open on October 31 and close on November 30, 2026.
