Puri (Odisha) Govt Jobs 2026

Puri, one of India’s four sacred dhams and home to the magnificent Jagannath Temple and the world-famous Rath Yatra, is Odisha’s most internationally recognised district and a major destination for pilgrimage tourism, beach recreation at Puri Sea Beach, and the nearby Konark Sun Temple — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — collectively generating sustained tourism and archaeology department employment. Government recruitment in Puri spans the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) — one of India’s largest temple trusts which maintains its own recruitment — Archaeological Survey of India for Konark, and the Utkal University of Culture. The Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) conducts OCS and Group B exams with Puri candidates participating strongly in civil services and heritage management roles. The Chilika Lake’s eastern shore, running through Puri district, also drives fisheries and wildlife department recruitment. IBPS, SSC, NHM Odisha, and India Post are widely pursued locally. This page covers all Puri Sarkari Naukri — SJTA temple jobs, ASI, OPSC, and all central exam notifications. From panchayat-level posts to UPSC engineering services, every vacancy relevant to Puri is tracked on this page. Return regularly — new recruitment cycles open throughout the year across all departments.

Puri’s position as one of India’s four sacred dhams — with the Jagannath Temple, Rath Yatra, and the UNESCO World Heritage Konark Sun Temple as its internationally recognised anchors — creates a government employment profile shaped by temple administration, archaeological heritage management, pilgrimage tourism infrastructure, and coastal disaster preparedness in ways unique among Odisha’s districts. The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), which manages one of India’s wealthiest and most visited temple complexes, recruits Superintendents, Temple Service Officers, Accounts Officers, and administrative staff through its own recruitment board — sjta.odisha.gov.in is the primary portal for these posts, which carry significant cultural prestige for Odia candidates.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) maintains the Konark Sun Temple as a Monument of National Importance and recruits Conservation Assistants, Site Superintendents, and technical heritage management staff through asi.gov.in. The Utkal University of Culture at Bhubaneswar (with cultural programming extending to Puri) generates faculty and research staff recruitment related to Odia cultural heritage. The Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) and Tourism Department manage Puri’s pilgrimage and beach tourism infrastructure, recruiting Tourist Officers, Information Assistants, and hospitality management staff through OPSC departmental examinations.

OPSC aspirants from Puri benefit from the district’s proximity to Bhubaneswar (60 km via NH-316) and access to coaching institutes and OPSC examination infrastructure. The OCS CCE General Studies component’s Odisha History and Culture sections are particularly well-covered by Puri’s candidates given the district’s deep immersion in Odia heritage. Chilika Lake’s eastern boundary through Puri district generates Fisheries Extension Officer recruitment and Wildlife Department posts for the Chilika Wildlife Division at odishaforest.in.

IBPS examinations cover banking posts in commercial and cooperative banks serving Puri’s pilgrimage tourism economy. The Indian Coast Guard patrols Puri’s coastline and recruits Navik candidates through joinindiancoastguard.cdac.in. NHM Odisha fills healthcare posts for Puri’s health blocks through nhmms.nic.in. India Post GDS covers Puri’s extensive rural and semi-urban postal network. SSC examinations are widely pursued given Puri’s large educated graduate pool.

All Jobs in Puri for 2026 — SJTA temple recruitment, ASI Konark, OTDC, Chilika Wildlife, OPSC, IBPS, Coast Guard, NHM, and SSC notifications — will be listed on this page as soon as they are officially released.
