520			_aThe research attempts to evaluate the effects of education-job mismatch on income in Nagaland. A dataset of 450 employees who completed higher education was classified by occupational groups using the ISCO-08 code. The data were analysed employing the job analysis (JA) method to assess the extent of education-job mismatch. Using the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method, the study measures how different types of mismatches (vertical, horizontal, and double) affect income. Education-job mismatch substantially affects income, as indicated by the results. Specifically, overeducation and horizontal mismatch lead to income reductions of 1.190 and 0.235 times, respectively, highlighting their negative effects. These findings emphasised that educational curricula should align with labour market needs, and labour market systems should predict skill demands for targeted upskilling. Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programmes should focus on mid-level skills.
