The Odisha government has decided to conduct Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination instead of multiple Group-B and Group-C Specialist Posts and Services conducted by Odisha Staff Selection Commission in order to streamline the recruitment process and to complete the recruitment examinations in a reasonable time period.
The proposal in this regard was approved by the Cabinet on Friday, the officials said adding that the Combined Recruitment will not only save the time of applicants but also reduce the examination related expenditure of the Government.
This Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination for Specialist Posts will put an end to the existing practice as the candidate has to exercise the post or service for which he or she wishes to be considered in order of his or her preference as mentioned in the application.
It is therefore proposed to frame the Combined Graduate Level Recruitment Examination for Group-B and Group-C Specialist Posts or Services Rules, 2022 which shall have overriding effect on all the Recruitment Rules or Regulations or Orders or Instructions issued by Administrative Department/Heads of Departments so far as regulating the process of recruitment to the posts and services under the State Government.
