NIA opens recruitment for 168 deputation posts
The Story in Brief
The National Investigation Agency has invited nominations for 168 posts on a deputation basis, through two notifications. The vacancies are for Inspector (29), Sub-Inspector (28), Assistant Sub-Inspector (23), Head Constable (53) and Data Entry Operator (35). Only serving officers of central government, state government and Union Territory departments are eligible, there is no online application form.
Applications must be routed through the candidate's parent department. The maximum age is 56 years as of the closing date. The deadline for Inspector and Sub-Inspector posts is 21 November 2026, and for ASI, Head Constable and DEO posts it is 20 December 2026. Applications are to be sent to DIG (Adm), NIA HQ, New Delhi, with an advance copy by email.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The recruitment is entirely by deputation, meaning only current government officers can apply, and the NIA has set a 56-year upper age limit. The largest single vacancy is for Head Constable (53 posts), followed by DEO (35) and Inspector (29). The deadline for the Inspector and Sub-Inspector posts is about four weeks earlier than for the other three categories, which may reflect different urgency in filling investigation roles versus support functions. No online application is accepted, and the NIA has not fixed a deadline based on the Employment News publication date, leaving the start of the countdown uncertain.
