# Odisha Police SI exam in November, notification within a week 2026-10-05T15:41:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Odisha Police Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment examination, pending since 2021, will be held in November 2026, the Odisha Uniformed Services Staff Selection Commission (OUSSSC) has announced. Chairman Rashmi Ranjan Swain said a notification will be issued within a week. The written exam is expected to begin in the second week of November, followed by physical tests. The entire appointment process is targeted for completion by December. The OUSSSC will conduct the exam using OMR sheets instead of online mode, and directly instead of through a third-party agency. Candidates will be asked to revalidate their contact details and exam choices via OTP before admit cards are issued. The commission said it had to reconstruct candidate data that was entangled in legal proceedings. Further details will follow the formal notification. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The long delay since 2021 and the reconstruction of data entangled in legal proceedings signal administrative bottlenecks that have kept thousands of candidates in limbo. The shift to OMR sheets and direct conduct by the commission aims to address transparency concerns but introduces a new process that must be executed smoothly. The real test of credibility will come when the OUSSSC meets its self-imposed deadline of a notification within seven days, followed by revalidation of over 8 parameters per candidate. ## Coverage - odishatv.in Straightforward reporting of official announcement with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
