FAQ – Odisha Government Jobs
Q1: What is the difference between OPSC, OSSC, and OSSSC in Odisha?
A: OPSC fills gazetted Group A/B posts (OAS, OPS, Medical Officer). OSSC fills Group B technical and skilled posts (Computer Operator, Technician). OSSSC fills Group C/D entry-level posts (Revenue Inspector, Forester, Forest Guard, MTS).
Q2: How do I apply for NALCO GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee)?
A: NALCO GET recruitment requires a valid GATE score in the relevant engineering discipline. Shortlisted candidates from the GATE merit list are called for Group Discussion and Personal Interview. Register at nalcoindia.com during NALCO’s recruitment window.
Q3: What is the OPSC OAS exam, and how competitive is it?
A: OAS (Odisha Administrative Service) is Odisha’s state civil service exam for filling Deputy Collector, DSP, and Block Development Officer posts. It has Prelims-Mains-Interview stages with thousands of applicants per cycle — comparable in competition to UPSC at the state level.
Q4: What is an OSSSC Revenue Inspector, and how are they selected?
A: Revenue Inspector (RI) maintains land records, assists in land acquisition, and supervises Patwaris at the cluster level. OSSSC selects RIs through a written exam + computer proficiency test. It requires graduation and Odia language proficiency.
Q5: Does Odisha have a separate power sector PSC exam?
A: Odisha’s GRIDCO and CESU (power distribution companies) recruit through their own direct notifications — not through OPSC/OSSC. Junior Engineer posts for these companies are advertised independently. Visit gridco.co.in and cesu.co.in for updates.
