The Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) (ଓଡିଆ: ଓଡିଶା ଲୋକ ସେବା ଆୟୋଗ) is the state agency authorized to conduct the Civil Services Examination for entry-level appointments to the various civil services of Odisha.
History
The recommendations of the Royal Commission on superior services in India, 194 are referred to in short as the Lee Commission, and now they have found a place in the Constitution of India in Articles 315 to 323. The Odisha Public Service Commission was constituted on April 1,1949 after its bifurcation from the former Bihar and Odisha Joint Public Service Commission. At the time of creation, the Odisha Public Service Commission had three members, including a chairman. The membership increased to five in 1979 and further increased to six in 1996.[1]
Functions
The functions of the Commission are broadly divided into the following four categories:[2]
- (i) Advice on the framing of recruitment rules and its amendments with regard to the recruitment and conditions of service of Group 'B' posts/services carrying scale of pay of Rs. 6500-200-10,500/- and above and Group 'A' posts/services.
- (ii) Advice on punishment proposed by the disciplinary authority in finalization of departmental proceedings under the Odisha Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1962 read with Rule 7 of the Odisha Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1992.
- (iii) Advice on matters relating to promotion of officers and fixation of inter seniority etc., with regard to officers of Group 'B' carrying a pay scale of Rs. 6500-200-10,500/- and above and all Group 'A' officers.
- (iv) Recruitment of candidates to different posts/services belonging to Group 'B' and above under the State Government.
- (a) Through competitive examination and viva vice test as prescribed in the concerned recruitment rules; and
- (b) Through viva vice test only.
Conducted examinations
List of examinations conducted by the Odisha Public Service Commission time to time. (direct recruitment through interviews only as per the service rules of various posts)
- Odisha Civil Service Examination
- Odisha Judicial Service Examination
- Odisha Education Services
- Junior Lecturers in O.E.S.
- Asst. Section Officer
- Tourist Officer
- Asst. Executive Engineer (Civil & Mechanical)
- Junior Assistant in the Office of OPSC
Controversies
Odisha Public Service Commission was criticized for not conducting the examination on time due to various cases pending with State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) and Odisha High Court. The final result of Odisha Civil Service, 2011 was declared after a gap of four years in February, 2016. The latest entrant is the examination of the Assistant Section Officer. It has been more than four years since the advertisement and nine months since the exam but OPSC is unable to decide the date of the result announcement and questions were raised by the candidates who got appeared for the post of Assistant Section Officer. They also claim that if OPSC was not so hurried in the recruitment process, they could have advertised the vacancy in 2017 or later. Candidates and the people of Odisha are still clueless about the delay of the ASO result for such a long time.[3]
