OPSC and APPSC open online applications for state recruitment drives
The Story in Brief
The Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) has announced 340 Assistant Section Officer (ASO) vacancies under the Home Department’s Secretariat Service cadre. Online applications open on 9 November 2026 and close on 30 November 2026 at 5 pm. Eligible candidates must be aged 21 to 42 years, hold a bachelor’s degree and have computer knowledge. The written examination is scheduled for 17 January 2027, followed by a skill test.
The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) has released notifications for five categories of posts in state government departments, including Assistant Director (Mines) and Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector. Online applications at psc.ap.gov.in run from 6 November to 26 November 2026. Both commissions have advised candidates to read the detailed notifications carefully before applying.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report routine recruitment notifications from separate state public service commissions, with no overlap in subject matter. Times Now covers the OPSC ASO drive and The Hindu the APPSC notifications for five posts. The coverage is uniform straight reporting in both cases: each provides vacancy numbers, application dates, eligibility criteria and official website links without interpretation or editorialising. Neither outlet frames the story as politically significant or critical of the government. The concrete next step for readers in both states is the application deadline: 30 November 2026 for OPSC and 26 November 2026 for APPSC.
