The NPSC CESE Interview Schedule for the 2026 Common Educational Services Examination lists viva-voce sessions from 5 to 25 November 2026. It identifies each session’s date and time, subject group, roll numbers and a document-verification date. Most interview dates have sessions at 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM; the final listed date has one session at 9:00 AM.

The Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) notice is dated 28 October 2026. The schedule information reproduced below does not specify the interview venue or a separate reporting time for document verification. For the NPSC CESE Interview Schedule, check the full official notice and NPSC website for these details before travelling. If a roll number appears more than once, do not decide between slots without confirmation from the Commission.

NPSC CESE 2026 interview schedule at a glance

The viva-voce dates run across several subject groups between 5 and 25 November. The schedule is organized by session, rather than by an individual subject-only timetable: one time slot may include several subjects. Candidates should therefore match the complete roll number, not just the subject label, when locating an entry.

For each entry, note four details together: the viva-voce date, the listed time, the subject group, and the document-verification date. These details belong to a particular row. Do not use another candidate’s row to infer your own session or verification arrangements. The time shown is the time listed for that viva-voce session; candidates should check the official notice for any additional arrival or reporting instructions.

The schedule includes sessions on 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23 and 25 November. No interview dates are listed here for the intervening calendar days. That does not create a separate slot for a candidate: use only the row that contains your roll number and confirm it against the original NPSC notice.

How to find your roll number and session

Search the table below for your full roll number, including the “26E” prefix and every digit that follows it. A partial match is not enough, because similar-looking numbers can occur in different parts of a long list. Once you find a match, read across the same row to capture the date, time, subject group and verification date. Use the NPSC CESE Interview Schedule to check these details against the complete roll number.

It can help to write these details together in one place after checking them: “viva-voce date and time,” “subject group,” and “document-verification date.” Then compare your notes with the official schedule. If you use a printed or saved copy, ensure it is the same version as the Commission’s notice and check the NPSC website again for any subsequent correction or instruction.

Do not assume that a roll number belongs to a session because the subject group appears to match your subject. The schedule lists groups with more than one subject and can include many roll numbers per time slot. The roll-number entry is the key reference for locating your listed session.

NPSC CESE Interview Schedule and document-verification dates

The schedule gives a document-verification date alongside each interview group. In the entries below, that date is generally the previous working day, but candidates should rely on the date stated in their own row rather than calculate it themselves. For example, the 25 November interview entry lists verification on 23 November 2026.

The schedule information available here does not state the document-verification venue, a separate verification reporting time, or a checklist of required documents. Those details should not be guessed from the interview time or from another candidate’s arrangements. Read the official NPSC notice and any direct candidate communication for the applicable instructions.

Use the verification date as a separate appointment to confirm, not as a substitute for checking your viva-voce slot. Record both dates and seek clarification if the official notice gives further instructions that are not shown in the schedule summary. Keep the original notice accessible when planning the two events.

Full NPSC CESE viva-voce and verification schedule

The NPSC CESE Interview Schedule table reproduces the listed sessions, subject groups, verification dates and roll numbers. Roll numbers are retained as listed, including repeated entries. If you find your number in more than one row, check the original notice and contact NPSC through its official channels to confirm which entry applies. Do not select a slot on your own.

What to confirm before document verification

The schedule establishes a date for verification, but it does not reproduce the Commission’s complete verification instructions. Confirm the venue, time, document requirements and any format or submission directions in the official notice. The available information does not establish which originals, photocopies or identity documents are required, so a generic checklist should not be treated as an official requirement.

Use the Commission’s stated list when preparing your records. Keep relevant application and academic information accessible while checking the notice, but do not assume that every candidate needs the same documents or that a list from another source applies to your case. If you receive candidate-specific communication, read it alongside the general notice and follow the Commission’s directions.

Also verify the date carefully. The verification date and viva-voce date are separate entries, and the table may list verification on a preceding working day. For an interview on 23 November, for instance, the listed verification date is 20 November; for the 25 November interview, it is 23 November. Use the date in your own row rather than extrapolating from these examples.

How to handle a repeated roll number

Some roll numbers occur in more than one session in the published schedule data. Examples include entries that appear in separate subject-group rows. The table retains these repeated roll numbers as listed rather than removing or reassigning them. Their appearance should not be interpreted as confirmation that a candidate may choose between two slots, that one listing replaces another, or that the schedule has been corrected.

If your complete roll number appears more than once, first note every relevant row, including each date, time, subject group and verification date. Then compare those entries with the original NPSC notice and seek clarification through the Commission’s official channels. Do not attend one session based only on an assumption about which duplicate is correct.

When asking for clarification, refer to the roll number and the exact rows or dates that appear to conflict. This makes the issue clear without relying on an incomplete number or a subject label alone. Follow the response or updated instruction issued by NPSC, and check the official website again before travelling.

Steps to take after locating your entry

1. Match the complete number. Check every character of your roll number against the table and the official notice. Do not rely on a partial search result.
2. Record the session details. Note the interview date, listed time and subject group from the same row.
3. Write down verification separately. Record the document-verification date as a distinct appointment and confirm any separate instructions.
4. Read the full notice. Look for the venue, arrival or reporting directions, and the document checklist. These details are not supplied in the schedule summary reproduced here.
5. Resolve conflicting entries. If your roll number is repeated or the notice appears inconsistent, contact NPSC through its official channels instead of selecting a slot yourself.
6. Check for updates. Revisit the official NPSC website before travelling in case a correction or additional instruction has been published.

These checks are practical ways to use the published schedule; they do not replace the Commission’s directions. The official notice remains the source to consult for venue and candidate instructions. In particular, do not treat a general preparation list or the time shown for a viva-voce session as confirmation of a separate verification reporting time.

The post distribution shows that the recruitment included several teaching and academic categories. The table does not provide a subject-by-subject interview count or explain how individual candidates were assigned to the listed sessions. For those details, use the official recruitment and interview notices rather than trying to infer assignments from the overall vacancy totals.

Selection process and eligibility information

The recruitment information identifies a written examination and viva-voce as selection stages, with document verification scheduled by NPSC. The schedule in this article concerns the viva-voce and associated verification dates; it is not a complete account of the recruitment process, eligibility rules or assessment criteria.

Eligibility and pay depend on the post and subject. The recruitment notice described postgraduate qualifications and relevant NET/SLET/SET or Ph.D criteria for academic posts, alongside specific requirements for certain teaching and technical roles. The available schedule information does not restate the complete conditions. Candidates should consult the original CESE notification for the exact qualification, age, relaxation and pay rules applicable to their post.

Do not use the interview timetable to determine whether a qualification, age condition or other recruitment rule applies to you. The timetable identifies when listed candidates are scheduled; the original recruitment notification is the relevant source for the detailed requirements. Likewise, the vacancy table gives post totals but does not provide additional eligibility or salary terms.

Important checks for interview planning

• Read the complete roll number and check for every occurrence before recording a slot.
• Keep the viva-voce date and document-verification date separate in your notes.
• Confirm the venue and any arrival directions from the full official notice; they are not stated in the schedule information reproduced here.
• Do not infer a document list or verification time where the notice information does not provide one.
• Do not treat a repeated roll number as permission to choose a session or as proof that one entry is obsolete.
• Check the official NPSC website for corrections or further instructions before making travel arrangements.
• Use the original recruitment notification for eligibility and pay details rather than relying on the interview schedule.

Keeping these items together can reduce the chance of confusing a date, time or subject group while reading a long schedule. It also helps distinguish information that is explicitly listed from details that candidates still need to confirm with NPSC. When in doubt, use the Commission’s published notice and official communication rather than an assumption based on another row.

Official links and notice updates

Use the official NPSC website to locate Commission notices and check for any later information. The applicant registration portal is also listed below, but the interview schedule and current instructions should be confirmed through the relevant official notice. A link to a portal does not replace the notice or provide the missing venue and verification details in this article.

How do I find my interview slot?

Search the schedule for your full roll number, then read across the same row for the date, time, subject group and document-verification date. Confirm the entry against the official NPSC notice, particularly if your number appears more than once.

When is document verification?

The schedule lists a verification date for each interview group, generally the previous working day. The 25 November interview entry, for example, lists verification on 23 November 2026. Confirm the date in your row and check the official notice for venue and instructions.

Does the schedule state the interview venue?

What documents should I bring?

The schedule does not include a document checklist. Follow the requirements in the official notice or any direct communication from NPSC; do not treat a generic online checklist as the Commission’s official list.

What should I do if my roll number appears in two slots?

Do not assume that either slot is optional or that one entry replaces the other. Compare the entries with the official notice and seek clarification through NPSC’s official channels before attending.

How many posts were announced under CESE 2026?

The recruitment covered 154 posts: 130 Assistant Professor, 4 Lecturer, 8 PGT and 12 Graduate Teacher vacancies.

Final takeaway

The NPSC CESE Interview Schedule lists viva-voce sessions from 5 to 25 November 2026, mostly at 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM, with a single 9:00 AM session on the final listed date.
