If you joined the Armed Forces as an Agniveer from Manipur and your term is ending, this notice is meant for you. Manipur Police has set aside 423 regular posts for the first batch of Ex-Agniveers of the state, and the form has to reach the DIG (HQ/ADM) office by 30 November 2026. The notification says the first batch starts exiting the forces from November 2026, so the timing is tight.
Below you will find the dates, the post-wise and category-wise seats, the age rules (including the Agniveer service deduction), the physical standards, the exact marks for each test, and how to send the form. Everything here comes from the notification dated 17 October 2026 on the Manipur Police website.

Not an Ex-Agniveer?
Manipur Police issued a separate notification on 2 November 2026 for regular direct recruitment to 2,698 posts, with forms at the district SP offices. That notice leaves out these Ex-Agniveer seats, so treat the two as different recruitments.
Application fee
| Candidate | Fee | How to pay |
|---|---|---|
| All applicants | Rs. 400 | Online, in favour of DIG (HQ/ADM) Manipur |
You must attach proof of the online payment with your form. The notice does not mention any fee waiver for this quota.

Age is counted as on 1 October 2026. For both posts you need to be at least 18, and the base upper limit is 26 years. SC/ST candidates get up to 5 extra years and OBC candidates up to 3 extra years.
Two more rules help Ex-Agniveers. The time you spent as an Agniveer may be deducted from your actual age when checking the upper limit. On top of that, the first batch of Ex-Agniveers gets a further 5 years beyond the prescribed upper age limit.
| Standard | General | ST/SC |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum height | 5 ft 3 in | 5 ft 2 in |
| Chest (normal / expanded) | 31 in / 33 in | 31 in / 33 in |

The total is 100 marks: PET 40, written test 40 and viva voce 20.
- Physical Efficiency Test (40 marks)Four events of 10 marks each: 100 m race (under 13.5 sec for full marks, over 15 sec disqualifies), broad jump (above 4.5 m for full marks, below 3.8 m disqualifies), high jump (above 1.35 m for full marks, below 1.20 m disqualifies) and 800 m race (under 2 min 45 sec for full marks, over 3 min disqualifies).
- Written test (40 marks)Constable: a 200-word essay in English, Manipuri or Hindi (20), English usage (10) and general knowledge (10). Riflemen: dictation of 80 words in English, Manipuri or Hindi, half a mark per correct word.
- Viva voce (20 marks)Only those who clear both the PET and the written test are called.
Disqualification in any of the four events will automatically disqualify the candidate from being eligible to participate in the remaining recruitment processNotification, clause 6(b)
Since a single failed event ends your run, practise the 800 m and the high jump now. Most Ex-Agniveers will be fit, but the cut-offs are strict.
