The Government of Nagaland's Police department is hiring 1,137 Constables (GD) across Nagaland, including 84 backlog posts from the previous recruitment. Only Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland belonging to a Naga tribe can apply. Eligibility depends on your education level and tribe, so check both before you start. Applications close on 30 November 2026.
Who Should Apply for Nagaland Police Constable GD 2026
This suits Indigenous Naga tribe members who have passed Class 8 (or Class 6 if from a backward tribe) and meet the physical and medical standards; candidates from non-Indigenous tribes are not eligible.
The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.
Watch Out Before You Apply
- Your tribe, not just your home state, decides which posts you can apply for, so confirm your Indigenous Inhabitant and tribe certificates before applying.
- Apply for only one district; appearing in any other district for tests will lead to rejection of your candidature.
- Keep your self-attested documents ready and bring originals to the interview, because candidates without them will not be allowed in.
