Odisha Govt To Replace Multiple Tests By OSSC With Combined Recruitment Exam

Bhubaneswar: In order to streamline the recruitment processes, the Odisha government has decided to conduct Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination instead of multiple examinations conducted by Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC).

The decision was approved at the Cabinet meeting held in Bhubaneswar on Friday. It aims at saving the time of applicants and the government. It will also reduce the examination related expenditure.

The Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination will put an end to the existing practice as the candidate has to exercise the post or service for which he wishes to be considered in order of his preference mentioned in the application.

The government proposed to frame the Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination for Group-B and Group-C of different state cadre posts or services rules, 2022 which will have overriding effect on all the recruitment rules or regulations or orders or instructions issued by administrative departments regulating the process of recruitment to the posts and services under the government.
