Nagaland Police invites applications for 1137 Constable posts
The Nagaland Police has invited applications from eligible indigenous Naga tribe candidates for 1137 Constable (General Duty) posts through an open rally. The recruitment will be conducted by a Departmental Recruitment Board and District Level Screening Committees simultaneously across all district headquarters. Non-indigenous tribes applicants are not eligible.
Of the vacancies, 1053 posts are being filled in compliance with Gauhati High Court orders dated September 20 and 26, 2024, and 84 are backlog vacancies from the preceding Recruitment-2025. The 1053 posts carry a pay scale of Level-3 with grade pay of Rs 1800 in the pay band of Rs 5200 to 20,200. Post allotment will follow tribal ratio based on the 2011 Census.
The online application window opens on October 31, 2026, and closes on November 30, 2026. Backlog vacancies are reserved for specific tribes and districts, including 47 vacancies for the Ao tribe in Mokokchung district.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 1137 vacancies address both court-mandated compliance and unfilled positions from the previous recruitment cycle, signalling a major police force expansion in Nagaland. The strict indigenous tribe eligibility and census-based tribal ratio for post allotment reflect the state's reservation framework, but also leave unresolved how non-indigenous long-term residents may be affected. The Departmental Recruitment Board and District Level Screening Committees will run the process, with applications accepted from 31 October to 30 November 2026.
