Good to know
This is one of the biggest police recruitments in Nagaland in recent years. Applications are accepted only online - the department has said forms will not be issued at Police Headquarters or any SP/CP office.
Applying with fake or forged documents leads to disqualification from this and future police recruitments, so upload only genuine certificates issued on or before the last date.
