DIMAPUR — The Nagaland Police on Thursday cautioned aspirants against believing claims that selection in the ongoing constable (General Duty) recruitment process could be influenced through personal intervention or payment of money, reiterating that the recruitment would be conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
The advisory followed the conclusion of a week-long physical test conducted across all districts, which drew participation from thousands of candidates. In the aftermath, public opinion on social media has been divided, with some expressing hope for a transparent written examination and interview process, while others have voiced suspicion that certain candidates may gain entry through unofficial means.
Amid the debate, the Nagaland Police’s three-point advisory said candidates should not believe anyone claiming that “he will put in a word for written or interview,” or demanding money in return for selection. The police reiterated that, apart from the INR 300 examination fee, no other charges are required, and urged aspirants to report any suspicious activity immediately.

Earlier, Director General of Police Rupin Sharma had posted on social media on the first day of the physical tests, reaffirming the department’s commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment process.
Around 32,000 candidates applied for 1,176 constable (GD) posts following an advertisement issued by the Nagaland Police Headquarters on September 30. Addressing a press conference in Kohima on the same day, the DGP said the recruitment process had been designed to address concerns raised in the past and to ensure fairness and transparency, following a year-long exercise involving consultations with senior officers, various agencies, departments and tribal organisations.
At the press conference, the DGP also acknowledged that requests from political leaders could not be ruled out, but stressed that no recommendations would be accepted. He assured that the department would handle the recruitment process fairly and ensure that no candidate was disadvantaged.
