Applications are offline only: collect the prescribed form from your District Superintendent of Police office and submit it through your District Employment Exchange.

Manipur Police Constable Recruitment 2026 – Overview

Manipur Police Constable Recruitment 2026 – Important Dates

Read the last date carefully. The notification states no last date for individual applications. The date of 20 December 2026 that job portals print is the reported deadline for Employment Exchange-sponsored candidate lists to reach Police Headquarters — it is not an individual application deadline, and it does not appear in the 6-page notification itself. Do not confuse this round with the separate Ex-Agniveer recruitment, whose last date is 30 November 2026. Ask at your District SP office for the date your form must reach the Employment Exchange, and do not wait for the last day.

Manipur Police Vacancy 2026 – Post-Wise and Category-Wise Details

Constable (Male/Civil) alone is almost half the total — 1,200 of the 2,698 posts. The full break-up from Annexure I of the official notification (the count is provisional):

Category-wise total posts. The notification prints the UR, SC, ST, OBC(M), OBC(MP) and OBC(O) split for every post. The largest shares are Constable (Male/Civil) with UR 623, ST 395, OBC(M) 121, OBC(MP) 39, SC 17 and OBC(O) 5, and Sub Inspector (Male/Civil) with UR 77, ST 48, OBC(M) 6, OBC(MP) 3 and SC 2. Two splits stand out: all 280 Riflemen posts are ST, and Constable Driver has no UR post at all (SC 25, ST 129, OBC(M) 10, OBC(MP) 6, OBC(O) 2). Two of the 70 Lower Division Clerk posts are horizontally reserved for PwD candidates within that allocation.

Follower posts by trade. The 250 Follower posts split across 10 trades: Cook 100, Sweeper 35, Dhobi 20, Barber 25, Tailor 10, Carpenter 19, Mason 20, Mali 8, Electrician 10 and Painter 3.

Manipur Police Constable Eligibility Criteria 2026

Qualification, age limit and physical standards are not printed in the notification. The 6-page notification gives the post-wise vacancies, pay levels and reservation split, but it does not state the educational qualification, the age limit or the physical measurement standards for any post. Those details sit with the District SP office and the Employment Exchange — confirm the qualification and age limit for your post there before you fill the form. Any website table that lists a qualification or age limit for this round is filling in blanks the notification leaves open.

Already applied under an earlier notification? If your application was duly sponsored by the concerned Employment Exchange under the notifications of 14 July 2021, 17 October 2022 or 13 March 2024, it stays valid — you do not need to apply afresh — and you get a one-time relaxation of the upper age limit. The new notification supersedes those three earlier notifications.

Who is not covered by this notification. The 2,698 vacancies exclude the seats under the separate 20% horizontal reservation for Ex-Agniveers and the 5% horizontal reservation for meritorious sportspersons. Those seats are covered by separate recruitments — the Ex-Agniveer round is a different notification dated 17 October 2026 with 423 posts, and it is not open to general civilian candidates.

Manipur Police Constable Application Fee 2026

How the fee is paid. The fee of Rs 400 is reported by multiple job portals as the price of the prescribed application form, payable when the form is collected, with eligible PwD candidates exempt. The notification itself carries no fee column, so treat Rs 400 as a reported figure and confirm the exact fee at your District SP office before you pay. The forms are available from the offices of the concerned District Superintendents of Police during office hours.

How to Apply for Manipur Police Constable Recruitment 2026

1. Visit the office of the Superintendent of Police of your district during office hours.
2. Collect the prescribed application form for the post you want to apply for.
3. Pay the application form fee of Rs 400, unless you are eligible for the notified PwD exemption — confirm the fee at the SP office first.
4. Fill the prescribed application form carefully with accurate information.
5. Attach the documents the SP office asks for, and check the form once before submission.
6. Submit the filled form through your District Employment Exchange — the notification is a requisition to the Employment Exchanges, so the Exchange is part of the route, not an optional step.
7. Ask the SP office and the Employment Exchange for the date your form must reach the Exchange, and keep a copy of the submitted form for your records.

No online form exists. There is no apply link, no online portal and no online registration for this recruitment. Any website showing an “Apply Online” button for this notification is not the official route. For a comparison with another uniformed-services opening, read our NLC India GET Recruitment 2026 guide.

Manipur Police Constable Selection Process 2026

Stage 1 – Physical Efficiency Test. The notification names a Physical Efficiency Test as part of the recruitment process. Its date, venue and qualifying standards will be announced separately by the department.

Stage 2 – Written test. Candidates who clear the Physical Efficiency Test face a written test. Its date, pattern, marks and syllabus are not specified in the notification and will be announced later.

What the notification does not say. No test pattern, no marks, no qualifying standards and no syllabus appear in the notification, and the selection criteria may vary by post. Follow further official announcements on manipurpolice.gov.in and at your District SP office for the complete selection procedure.

Manipur Police Constable Salary 2026
