OPSC opens 758 AEE posts, selection by GATE score
The Story in Brief
The Odisha Public Service Commission has advertised 758 posts of Assistant Executive Engineer in Group A of the Odisha Engineering Service. Of these, 750 are for Civil Engineering across the Water Resources, Works, and Housing and Urban Development departments, and 8 are for Mechanical Engineering under Water Resources. The posts carry Level-12 pay under ORSP Rules, 2017.
Selection is based entirely on a valid GATE score in Civil or Mechanical Engineering from 2024, 2025 or 2026 (90% weightage) and an interview (10%). There is no examination fee. Candidates must be 21 to 42 years old on 1 January 2026 and able to read, write and speak Odia. Online applications are open at opsc.gov.in from 22 October 2026 to 11 November 2026, 5:00 PM.
Of the 750 Civil posts, 612 are backlog vacancies from earlier years, accounting for the large number. Document verification is tentatively scheduled to begin in the first week of December 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 758 posts, especially 612 backlog vacancies in Civil, represent a rare large-scale state engineering recruitment that bypasses a traditional exam. Candidates with a GATE score from the last three years are the only pool, making the score card the single barrier. The shortlist for interview will be roughly twice the vacancies per category, and unfilled women's posts revert to men in the same category. The key deadline is 11 November 2026, 5:00 PM, at opsc.gov.in.
